How To Be Motivated To Create The Life Of Your Dreams
Do you really know how to be motivated? All the time?
When it comes to motivating yourself to be a better person, to
do better at work or to create a happier family life you need to
understand the importance of taking control of your self-talk.
You really need to know how to motivate yourself through thick
and thin.
Do you ever pay attention to the thoughts inside your mind? And
more importantly do you ever notice the way in which you talk to
yourself?
Here are three tips you can use right away to motivate yourself
- find out how to be motivated in seconds:
1 Talk To Yourself The Way You Talk To Someone You Love
Be honest! Is it true you sometimes insult yourself, curse
yourself and say horrible things about your abilities? If you
spoke like this regularly to the people you care about they
would leave and never talk to you again. There is no excuse for
treating yourself so badly. Talk to yourself the way you would
talk to someone you deeply love. Be respectful, patient and
understanding. Be slow to anger, quick to praise and grateful
for the opportunity to listen.
Be on your best behavior when you talk to yourself and you will
find that you treat other people better as well. This in turn
will cause people to respond more positively to whatever you
say. These very people will be more inclined to help you get
what you want.
(How to be motivated will seem less of a mystery.)
2 Pump Up The Volume
Very often we go through our day with an internal dialogue
buzzing away in the background. We mutter to ourselves about
what we need to do without feeling particularly inspired to do
anything other than what we have to do. This is not an effective
strategy for self-motivation!
What you need to do instead is to turn up the volume, inject
some passion into your words and talk to yourself with
enthusiasm. You would not have much luck motivating someone else
to take action without putting some energy into your words. You
need to do the same to motivate yourself. You must know how to
be motivated at a moments notice!
The next time you want to motivate yourself to do something -
talk to yourself the same way you would if someone was standing
before you waiting to be inspired. Speak loudly with passion and
excitement either aloud or to yourself inside your head. The
more energy you put into it the easier it will be to light the
fire inside you that sparks you into action.
3 Know How To Feel Good When You Are Having A Tough Day
No matter how focused, positive and hard working you are there
will still be days when nothing seems to go your way. It is on
days like this that you must take charge of your brain and take
control of your self talk.
You need a back catalogue of memories you can replay to make
yourself feel good. Music does it for me. I have so many songs I
love to hear that I just pick one out and listen to it in my
mind. In a moment I can listen to sounds that make me feel
fantastic simply by choosing to. For best results imagine you
have a volume control with bass and treble. Make the music sound
rich, loud and resonant. This is the secret to knowing how to be
motivated in a way that works for you.
A friend of mine has such a great memory that he will listen to
an entire CD in his mind. How about that for a quick and easy
way to feel good whenever you are having a tough day?
One final way to use this tip...
Replay happy memories of people telling you how much they value
and appreciate you. Hear them saying what a difference you are
making and soak up those wonderful feelings of appreciation.
It really is your choice as to how you run your brain. Choose to
feel great and your communication with yourself and the outside
world will become remarkable. Your motivation will soar and
getting more done each day will just get easier and easier with
eager people lining up to help you.
You'll be very glad you discovered how to be motivated!
