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.
