| Half Dozen More Motivation
Strategies
Achievement
Here’s an easy way to stay motivated. Make a record of all your
successes and look back on them. You will know that since you’ve
already achieved __________________ (fill in the blank) you can achieve
even more. On to conquer the world!
Lifestyle
If you desire a certain lifestyle then you could use this as motivation
to achieve your goal of financial independence. Write down your goal.
And if you want to exponentially raise the power level of this strategy,
combine it with visualization. Get a picture of a house, a vacation
resort or a care that represents your financial goal.
Helping
A heart for helping others is a great motivation for some. It could
be argued that some of the most successful people on the planet are
those who help others succeed themselves. If they don’t help others
succeed, they at least help them answer a question to some problem(s).
If you have a heart for helping others, chances are that is a huge motivation
for you to keep going and seeing your goals of achievement to the end.
Spiritual
Spiritual reasons are inspirational as well as motivational. If you
are in business to help your church, God’s Kingdom, home orphans
or to help single mothers, the spiritual nature of all the above mentioned
are a powerful motivator. Spiritual motivation is almost a self sustaining
stimulant to get things done. Most of the time, something more than
selfish reasons creates a motivation that will last much longer.
Goal Oriented Plan
Hard core goals keep you on track and help you follow your plan to the
end. Motivation with this method is found within the organization and
planning. Start with an outline of perceived progress and work at it
from priority. You may find that things need to be added or reprioritize
as you start working through the plan.
Quietness
This method of motivation will seem ‘weird’ to some. But
try it. When there is absolutely no distractions, no sounds, no screaming
kids or nagging spouse, lay down on the floor, bed or couch and just
breathe. The trick to this at first is to not fall asleep. Concentrate
on your goals. If you don’t know how you will achieve your goal,
ask that while you’re lying in the quietness. Don’t be consumed
by the question. Just ask it and continue to concentrate. Relax. Aside
from this being a nice stress reliever, you’ll find that the more
you do it, the more ideas and answers you’ll receive. By continuing
to do this, you’ll find motivation within the quietness!
Take one or more of these strategies for motivation and create a powerful
motivation station depending on what you are trying to accomplish. You
can even use certain strategies for certain events you need to be motivated
for.
Pick and choose. They’re easy to use!
