How Do You Stay Motivated

From: motivationalmemo.com

This can be a tough one.

First – if you don’t have a compelling vision to meet the goal, then it isn’t a priority – and you won’t have the desire to achieve it. I would like you to go back to yesterday’s prospective goal and see if it is still right. I would also suggest that you rewrite the goal and compelling reason ‘why’ here:

GOAL:____________________________________________________________REASON:_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now, with that in mind – let’s look at what we can do to increase motivation.

• Again, you have the power to choose what you do. So, how do we increase that personal power?

• You can write ‘Post It’ notes and hang them everywhere, and that is helpful. But, I would write down what you stated above and, with yourself as the audience, tell it to the mirror every morning. There is something about stating something audibly that gives it much more credence. If your partner thinks that you are nuts – just wait until they see what this (and you) can do!!!
• Then, figure out why you have been fearful to do this in the first place. If you had no fear – you would have done it long ago.

• Now, the tough question – ‘if I don’t achieve this accomplishment – what could happen to me?’.  And, by the way – make this as vivid as you would like…

Finally – which destiny do you choose?
