Motivation
Motivation is what drives us mentally, physically, and
spiritually. We all possess our own unique motivators that may
or may not be hidden from us. The key to achieving your goals is
to identify what your motivators are and harness them for forces
of good.
Motivational Strategies
Most people find that physical activity is an excellent
motivator. If you haven't tried exercise before, it may be worth
your time to see if it increases your personal motivation.
Engage in activity that you enjoy on a regular basis to remove
yourself from the normal daily grind. You may find yourself
experiencing many "light bulb" moments.
Or if sweating is not your forte, try incorporating motivational
books or music to your daily routine. There are many different
types of motivational media available. Experiment with various
methods to find what works for you. It's a simple task since you
can listen to CDs or books on tape on your way to and from work.
It is also very helpful to surround yourself with positive
people. Positive people have a way of seeing the silver lining
around every cloud, which in turn, can raise your spirits when
you are feeling pessimistic. Positive friends can prevent you
from giving up on your dreams.
Make it a habit to learn from your mistakes. Failure can be a
powerful motivator to try even harder the next time around.
Instead of making disappointment your worst enemy, make it a
valuable ally in the battle against defeat.
Don't be afraid to take risks. Fear of the unknown can paralyze
you and prevent you from making any progress towards your goals.
Identify why you are afraid and create ways to overcome it.
Lastly, swallow your pride and ask someone who you view as being
successful, "What is the secret of your success?" Most likely,
they will offer inspiration and insight that can help you
realize your own aspirations.
A final note -
Once you know your motivational triggers, use them to attain
every goal you set. You will find that different stimuli work in
different situations, so try out several before settling on one.
In fact, you may be the type of person that needs several
motivators to get your fire burning!
We may set unique objectives, but the need for motivation is
something we all have in common. Your job is to develop an
inspiration that works for you!
