5 WAYS TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF
In this Article, you will find out the 5 ways to motivate yourself. Motivation is a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way. These reasons could be internal and external. The internal factor is you or your mindset, the external factor is the people around you or your environment. Do not let the internal or the external factor deter you for getting the motivation you need to go after your dreams. As humans, we find it difficult to do things that makes us uncomfortable. However, until you break out from your comfort zone, phenomenal things can never happen to you.
There is a nursery rhyme I used to sing in those days which says “Good, better, best. I will never rest , until my good is better and my better best”. The song is talking about motivation. It means keep improving. There is also a line I usually say,“ don’t stop till you drop”. Are you getting comfortable or tired of your current situation or condition and you say, this is it. There is another quote that says “don’t stop till you are tired, stop when you are done”.
WHAT IS SELF MOTIVATION?
It is the ability to do what needs to be done, without influence from other people or situation. Are you waiting for people to cheer you on before you make that move. That might never come.
Carol Burnett says “ only I can change my life, no one can do it for me”. You are responsible for you so do not wait for anyone to tell you it’s okay before you make that move. Tell yourself you can do it and then go for it. You need to bring into action that brilliant idea, that goal, that vision. Get in the habit of feeding your brains with the believe that you can do it. All you have to do is take a death breath, count 1 – 5 and bring it to action.
For you to be self motivated, you need to be ambitious, you need to keep dreaming. I remember when I was growing up, I used to day dream a lot. I would withdraw myself and go to the room and dream, dream, dream and I still dream cos I am not where I want to be yet. There is still so much I can achieve .
5 WAYS TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF
1. Have the idea, have the knowledge – Do you have any idea what soever that you are still nurturing? Ideas rule the world so they say. What have you done about the idea? The first thing you need to do is to write it down. This takes me to the second step
2. Dream it, Visualise it – After you have written down your idea, you need to begin to picture it in your head. You need to begin to dream it, visualise it and see yourself doing it
3. Be Ambitious – it is not just okay to have the idea and visualise it, you need to also be deliberate about it. Go after it and let nothing stop you. Be intentional. Do something daily that will draws you closer to you dreams.
4. Believe in yourself – Another one out of the 5 ways to motivate yourself is believing in yourself. When you believe in yourself, you are half way closer to your dreams. No matter how big your plans are,when situations arises that will want to make you doubt yourself, you need to continue to believe in yourself . Even when every other person stops to believe in you.
5. Take Action – You need to move yourself before others can move for you. You need to start from somewhere. Do not be afraid to start small. Do not despise the days of little beginning. Growth is Growth no matter how small.
The more motivated you are, the more easily you can get things done!
