SELF MOTIVATION !



No goals is unachievable
 and
 you can achieve anything that someone else has already achieved !

Hi guys ! See again ! Today , I want to share something with you . Feeling less than motivated all too often? I do. hehe . Well, perhaps not too often. But sometimes I just feel really lazy and unmotivated. So , what always i do to not be lazy  is " SELF MOTIVATION " . If you want to excel in life, self motivation is essential. You must know how to motivate yourself. You must be able to keep your spirit high no matter how discouraging a situation is. That’s the only way to get the power you need to overcome difficulties. Those who are discouraged in difficult times are certain to lose even before the battle is over.


Want some practical solutions to that universal motivation-problem ? Here are of them . Try a handful . Let me know which ones work well for you .
I'm sure you'll find at least one or two that do just that among these suggestions :

1. Make a deal with yourself.
Good for overcoming procrastination and getting things done . You make the deal small or large. You simple tell yourself something like : When I'm done with this chapter/these reports i can take a walk in the park and enjoy an ice-cream .

2. Act like it .
If you don't fell motivated or enthusiastic then act like it . The strange thing is that within a few minutes you actually start to feel motivated or enthusiastic for real .

3. Move the goalposts .
Set a large and specific goal . This will motivate you much more than small goals . A big goal has a big effect and can create a lot of motivation .

4. Do something small and create a flow .
Just clean yor desk . Or pay your bills. Or wash the dishes . You just need to get started . When you have finished that small task you'll feel more alert and ready to go do the next thing . You just to get started to get motivated . So if you really don't feel like doing anything , start with something small and work your way out up .

5. Do the toughest task first .
This will ease a lot of your day-to-day worries and boost yor self-confidence for the rest of the day . 

6. Start slow .
Instead of jumping into something at full speed start slow . When you do that your mind will not visualize the task as something hard that you have to do fast,fast,fast. If your mind sees such things guess what often happens ? Yep , you don't get started . Actually getting started,even if it's at a slow pace,is a whole lot better than not getting started at all .

7. Compare yourself with yourself .
Not with others . Comparing what you have and your results to what other people have and have accomplished can really kill your motivation. There are always people ahead of you . Most likely quite a bit of people . And a few of them are miles ahead. So focus on you . On your results . And how you can and have improved them.
Reviewing yor results is important so you see where you have gone wrong in the past to avoid similar missteps further on . But it's also important because it's a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come . Often you can be pleasantly suprised when you do such a review .

8. Remember your successes.
And let them flow through your mind instead of your failures . Write down your successes. Consider using a journal of some kind since it's easy to forget your successes.

9. Don't fear failure .
Instead redefine it as feedback and as a natural part of a successful life . As Michael Jordan said :
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games . 26 times . I've  been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed . I've failed over and over and over again in my life . And that is why I succees."

10. Think outside yor box .
Don't imagine the future from the box of what you have now . Just because yor mind is in box of previous experiences doesn't mean that the limits of the world . Your possibilities are much large. Create the future from the now and from nothing rather than your past to experience bigger changes with fewer limitations than you would if you created it from what you can see from your box .

11. Make each day count .
We don't have all the time in the world . So focus on today and do the things you really want to do .
