Motivate Yourself
Why do you want to motivate yourself? Actually, just answering that
question fully can be one of the better ways to get your daily motivation.
Below are seven more ways that have been provem to work for others. Chances
are, some of them will work for you too.
Seven Ways To Motivate Yourself
1. Explain your plans. Usually, by the time I tell my wife about the
newsletter I'm going to write, I'm out of my slump and back at the keyboard.
Find someone that listens well, and tell them what you want to do. If it is
something that you really want, this will almost always get you motivated.
2. Stimulate desire. Imagine the rewards of your effort clearly. Imagination
motivates many to sign up for get-rich-quick plans. Good salesmen can have you
living in your imagined dream home in minutes, and you'll feel motivated to do
anything to make it real. Just learn to be your own salesman.
3. Use pain. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) teaches you to link pain with
not acting. If you imagine a scene of your kids sitting in jail for drug use -
that might motivate you to have that talk you've been avoiding. Linking
pleasure and rewards to acting is only half of the formula. Remember to link
pain to not acting.
4. Develop a true interest. If you have no interest at all, it might mean you
need to do something else, but if it's just a task you dislike, relate it
clearly in your mind to the greater goal. I don't like to drive, but when I
remember those mountains I'm going to, I get motivated to drive.
5. Create energy. Coffee can help for a while, but one way or another, you
need to have some energy to have motivate yourself. Exercise, sleep well, and
watch out for sugary foods - the "sugar blues" will kill your motivation.
6. Have the proper mental state. It's rare to be depressed and motivated.
Resolve some of your negative feelings, and you'll have more motivation.
Another way is to do your important work when you are in a better mood.
7. Make any small step. Commit to raking up one bag of leaves, and soon
you'll want to finish the yard. Any small step towards your goals creates
momentum.
You have seven ways now, but you have to actually use them, so how do you get
motivated to do that? You have to figure that one out yourself. Humor, by the
way, can be a good motivator. Laughing often breaks up the feeling of being
overwhelmed. There's your eighth way to motivate yourself.
