How To Motivate Yourself?

Vincelog · 02-17-2009, 02:02 AM

Hi Warriors,

I am interested in ways you use to motivate yourself to do something even when you don't feel like it. Do share with us your technique.

Cheers

I do one of the following.
Write a priority list. Take the task and break it down into 3 or 4 things, that way you can see the progress you've made. For me even when I don't want to do something, It helps to organize my thoughts. And I usually tend to say, I've come so far might as well go to the next task. Or if I really don't feel like doing it, at least I have a check list of where I started and where I am at for another time.
The second thing is exercise. Run, Jump Rope, hit the bag, anything to get the adrenaline going. that helps to boost my confidence to the point where whatever task I have to do seems small in comparison.
The third thing is Meditate. Most times, the tasks of the day swirl around to the point of not being able to think. Sitting and Closing my eyes, concentrating on my deep breathing. It helps clear the mind tackle any obstacle.
I hope this helps

One thing that gets me on the computer more is doing maths.
Figure out your business model and start doing some hypothetical equations.

Possibilities are very exciting.

ragnarth · 02-17-2009, 09:21 AM

Hey guys, I just go and do something else for a little time I've been come back to it.

Don't spend time on something if you're not interested and try to get motivated doing something that you like. This technique (if I can say so), helps me to clear my head and come back fresh and motivated!

That's wonderful, Delton.

Love is a powerful motivating force, for sure.

Much respect to you,

I think of the final outcome and how it will positively affect my life. That usually allows me to power through mundane tasks. I also have my desktop background set up as sort of a vision board with a collage of my goals...that helps.

mmpieri · 02-17-2009, 10:18 AM

Personally I get motivation by mere thinking of helping others! Rather than fishing for problems, I see myself as a solution provider. I assist people through articles, seminars and 'words of encouragement'

honestbizpro · 02-17-2009, 11:31 AM

I love coming to this section of the Forum....it has Success in the title!

It gets a little mystical and mushy sometimes but sometimes we all need to get centered and get another layer of invinciblity from the doom and gloom we see on the news.

I was just reading Frank Kerns email about his latest Launch of Mass Control....so far he has only sold about 1914 copies. Yea there is a recession you know.

Now how much is he selling it for? $2000!

He made about 4 Million Dollars in a day!!!!!!!! On a Monday...On a Holiday..In a Recession.

I just happen to live in the same city...literally minutes from Frank and just knowing that pumps me up most days.

Motivation is all around us.

Unfortunately I can't even tell my neighbors about Frank...cus quite simply...they won't believe it. (nah...I tell them anyway!)

This is the best business in the world. Just never give up and learn all you can. Then apply it.

Jason Ng · 02-17-2009, 01:13 PM

As you probably already know, Love is the greatest motivator in the world.

Whenever you area feeling down, tired or lost, think about somebody you love, it can be your lover, family and friends. You will get the direction, motivation, inspiration that push you to moving forward.

Love is around us, Never Give Up !

DBofBES · 02-17-2009, 03:39 PM

Being in the right mental state is the only way I've found that is effective for me. If I'm tired or distracted I'm not motivated. If that's the case, I try to take a short walk and get some fresh air. The key is to observe your surroundings while walking - be in that moment without the mind chatter about what you have to do when you get back.

So I make sure I am rested ahead of time. That means getting solid rest physically and mentally, not necessarily just x number of hours of sleep. Next I find listening to brainwave mp3's really makes a difference. Ones mind is like a radio receiver and until it is tuned in to a particular frequency - there can be a lot of noise (needless thoughts). So once all of that is dealt with - I can focus and get things completed much faster. I start with the hardest task first (if possible). I also take a break every 90 minutes, depending on what I have set out to accomplish that day. When I'm finished reward myself.

This has worked well for me.

GeorgeC · 02-17-2009, 05:06 PM

There's nothing like working in front of the ocean, watching the waves, knowing that right there you're making money, and knowing that's your actual "Day job" LOL

adorton · 02-17-2009, 05:31 PM

Meditation and bribery. 1st I center myself so I can focus on the task at hand and then I think hard about the bottle of rum that I will reward myself when the job is done.

Hello Omari Taylor here,

Well what I do to motivate myself is think about my future. I see my goals clearly and know a will reach all of them. So when every I slow a down I ask myself, "what are you doing? You can slow down one bit." Then I get right back to it. I have pretty good self motivation and have never quit when I put my mind on reaching a goal.

I suggest that people who have problems motivating themselves to get a bigger "why." I believe that could be your only problem. If your "why" is big enough you will never slow down or quit. Best wishes.

Patrick Warren · 02-17-2009, 09:52 PM

These are some great ideas about how to be/stay motivated. I will keep this in mind next time I am down. As for me I just ran about 3 miles and I feel pretty sharp, it usually helps me focus on the tasks at hand.

Can totally relate Patrick Warren, I like to run even if its indoors! Of course I end up sitting down soon because I get so many ideas flowing.

I have to write them down.

Christie Love · 02-18-2009, 12:42 AM

I am motivated by success. Just knowing that the things I do will lead me to a better life is enough to make me work hard until I reach my goals.

Bo Mill · 02-18-2009, 12:59 AM

I get motivated by looking at my past.

Three years ago, I was desperately looking for a way to make money online.

Today I do the same.

However, today, I have 3 years of experience behind me, bunch of money already made AND spent. So, whenever I think of "Oh, I'll never accomplish anything" I know that isn't true because I already did.

I like Meditate too. This is similar to "Qi Gong" or "Chi" in Chinese. But in a much simply format.

Girls. I won't lie, they are awesome motivation haha

I have different ways. I have gone over the word of God about me to motivae me to action.

I have so many other ways. I have shared this in my FREE e-book at Free Success e-books - Success Articles it is titled "How You Can Begin to Act on You Ideas.

The word of God is a motivator for people like me.

Thanks

Looking towards the future is definitely one of the things I do on a regular basis. I will evaluate if what I'm doing today would bring me towards my goals, or away from them. It keeps me motivated and focused on what I need to succeed.

Having the reason why is also the biggest element in achieving goals. A 'Must' is A 'Want' + A 'Why'. So in order to make it a must for you to succeed, I agree that attaching a 'why' to all our 'wants' would fit the bill.

Great suggestions!

mycredit-scores · 02-18-2009, 10:08 AM

I remind my self about the course once I have on 4th Dimension... It was great and at the end of it I was the first one who walked on fire...

When ever I remember it ... Really give me motivation.

Clement Yeung · 02-18-2009, 10:09 AM

I absorb something inspirational.

For example, I used to listen to the "Personal Power 2" and "Get the Edge" products from Anthony Robbins on an almost DAILY basis for around one month at a time. I liked Stephen Covey and Dale Carnegie's materials.

I take pleasure in reading Seth Coen's blog, books by Malcolm Gladwell, more recently Timothy Ferriss, and other self-development "guru's".

I think that the key in motivating myself lies in recognizing that there is so much do learn and do and become, and yet I am just starting my journey.

All the best,

Clément Yeung

Jonathan 2.0 · 02-18-2009, 12:49 PM

Thinking you need motivation before doing something is a myth. That's what people who study too much personal development material think. Everyone else just gets on with it. As Gary Halbert once said: "Movement creates more momentum then meditation." Don't wait around for motivation. Just start taking action and you'll become motivated.

Tam Chancellor · 02-18-2009, 04:56 PM

I have all my awards and pictures that represent most of the things I'm most proud of hanging on a wall in my room. Whenever I feel down or feel overwhelmed, I look at my "Wall of Achievement". I remember my successes in the past and I know I can be successful again.

Develop a defence against people who want to convince you that you cannot do it,
Accept negative advice only as a challenge to prove that you can do it.

Expression · 02-18-2009, 08:17 PM

Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do and keeps you busy - but it does not
get you any where!

homeloans · 02-19-2009, 12:27 AM

1. Find a true interest in what you are doing. If you have no interest at all, it might mean you need to do something else. On the other hand, if it's just a task you dislike, relate it clearly in your mind to the greater goal. I don't particularly like to drive, but I don't have a motivation problem when I am driving to the mountains for a vacation.

2. Create energy. You need some energy for self motivation. Caffeine may help for a while, if it doesn't create other problems for you. You can also exercise and sleep well. Watch out for sugary foods - the "sugar blues" will kill your motivation. When you find energy boosters that work for you, make a list and keep it handy for future use.

3. Talk your way to motivation. This is one of my favorite ways to create energy and motivation. By the time I tell my wife about the article I'm going to write, I'm out of my slump and back at the keyboard. If the task itself is less inspiring, talk about the larger goals it will help you achieve.

4. Stimulate desire. Imagining their potential future motivates many to sign up for get-rich-quick plans. Good salesmen can put you in your imagined dream home in minutes, and you'll feel motivated to do anything to make it real. Why not learn to be your own salesman?

5. Stimulate pain. An effective Neuro-Linguistic Programming technique is to link pain with not acting. This is what happens when you finally stop hitting that snooze button on the alarm because you think you

might lose your job. Imagine any bad consequences that may occur if you don't do what you need to do.

6. Start with any small step. I have found that if I commit to raking up one bag of leaves, I soon want to finish the yard work. Training yourself to take any small step towards your goals is a great self motivation technique. Breaking larger goals down into small steps makes this even easier.

Vincelog · 02-19-2009, 12:28 AM

Hey Expression,

I like the rocking chair example. I recently had written an article on how to stop worrying and I had added this idea into the comment section.

I drink coffee, watch the news about how bad the economy is and I'm ready to go!

ChrisHayes · 02-19-2009, 06:13 AM

Ain't that the truth lol.. I feel the same exact way, everytime I wake up, someone's always telling me about the economy. If that doesn't get you on the up and up then geesh idk what will.. :0_

Bo Mill · 02-19-2009, 10:51 AM

I also set a (stupid) goal. For example, I'd say "I want to buy a MacBook Air this month" And then, even though I have the funds, I do not buy it - I wait until I earn that much to buy it.

Victoria Neely · 02-19-2009, 04:18 PM

1. Make a list of what I want to do. Several lists, actually: A list for the year, a list for each month, a list for a given week, a list for the day. Even if I don't accomplish everything on these lists, I get much more done than if I'd not bothered writing them down. It's sort of fun to scratch things off the list, because it shows I'm making progress.

2. Set some easy goals. For example, if I dread doing something, I might say I'll just "get started" on it, or spend a couple of minutes on it. Chances are I'll end up spending much more time on it and even get it done.

Spike SpiegelIM · 02-19-2009, 04:27 PM

The fact that I am making money online now definitely gives me motivation, when way back then I thought it's not even possible. I've had mild success and definitely eager to have more. That, and the fact that I am about to get married, that motivates me a lot..

AfteraDream · 02-19-2009, 04:42 PM

Visualize your desired outcome and how you'd feel, what you'd do, and how you'd act if you had it.. for example if someone is losing weight he should visualize himself being fit, muscular and strong

dwt · 02-19-2009, 05:21 PM

You hit the nail on the head Bogart!

bamsgenx · 02-19-2009, 07:28 PM

the easiest way to motivate yourself is having the motivation everyday.
if you have dreams,write it down on note and read everytime you lose your motivation.
people has an inclination of losing it,right?
so,it is the most important to be solved by read your motivation note.

Daret · 02-19-2009, 08:06 PM

This stuff is great. Homeloans' post is pure gold and full of truth. I have, for example, recently found that I get a energy boost after I work out. I didn't know this and it really helps.

adrianasalmon · 02-19-2009, 11:37 PM

I motivate myself by seeing myself being able to help more people if I just get this done.

T. Harv Eker in Millionaire Mind has one affirmation that has stuck with me above all others.

I act even when I don't feel like it.

I say this to myself a couple times and it really is how I view myself now. I am willing to take the tough steps -- to get up early, to continue when discouraged.

Wizardofwisdom · 02-24-2009, 04:51 PM

My NLP training taught me to "interrupt the limiting pattern." For me, this is usually a good workout on my acoustic guitar. The neighbours got used to it after the first five years, and they are thankful I don't play an electric!

What I am using is to focus on my outcome (what I want) and also thinking about what will happen if I never do this right now(pain).

This will help me to kick start my engine and start taking action.

I absorb something inspirational. For example, I used to listen to the "Personal Power 2" and "Get the Edge" products from Anthony Robbins on an almost DAILY basis for around one month at a time. I liked Stephen Covey and Dale Carnegie's materials. I take pleasure in reading Seth Coen's blog, books by Malcolm Gladwell, more recently Timothy Ferriss, and other self-development "guru's". I think that the key in motivating myself lies in recognizing that there is so much do learn and do and become, and yet I am just starting my journey. All the best, Clément Yeung

Thinking you need motivation before doing something is a myth. That's what people who study too much personal development material think. Everyone else just gets on with it. As Gary Halbert once said: "Movement creates more momentum then meditation." Don't wait around for motivation. Just start taking action and you'll become motivated.

If you have no interest at all, it might mean you need to do something else. On the other hand, if it's just a task you dislike, relate it clearly in your mind to the greater goal. I don't particularly like to drive, but I don't have a motivation problem when I am driving to the mountains for a vacation. 2. Create energy. You need some energy for self motivation. Caffeine may help for a while, if it doesn't create other problems for you. You can also exercise and sleep well. Watch out for sugary foods - the "sugar blues" will kill your motivation. When you find energy boosters that work for you, make a list and keep it handy for future use. 3. Talk your way to motivation. This is one of my favorite ways to create energy and motivation. By the time I tell my wife about the article I'm going to write, I'm out of my slump and back at the keyboard. If the task itself is less inspiring, talk about the larger goals it will help you achieve. 4. Stimulate desire. Imagining their potential future motivates many to sign up for get-rich-quick plans. Good salesmen can put you in your imagined dream home in minutes, and you'll feel motivated to do anything to make it real. Why not learn to be your own salesman? 5. Stimulate pain. An effective Neuro-Linguistic Programming technique is to link pain with not acting. This is what happens when you finally stop hitting that snooze button on the alarm because you think you might lose your job. Imagine any bad consequences that may occur if you don't do what you need to do. 6. Start with any small step. I have found that if I commit to raking up one bag of leaves, I soon want to finish the yard work. Training yourself to take any small step towards your goals is a great self motivation technique. Breaking larger goals down into small steps makes this even easier.

I also set a (stupid) goal. For example, I'd say "I want to buy a MacBook Air this month" And then, even though I have the funds, I do not buy it - I wait until I earn that much to buy it.

Victoria Neely Rabid Pixar Fan War Room Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: USA Posts: 100 Thanks: 17 Thanked 13 Times in 11 Posts	Re: How To Motivate Yourself? 1. Make a list of what I want to do. Several lists, actually: A list for the year, a list for each month, a list for a given week, a list for the day. Even if I don't accomplish everything on these lists, I get much more done than if I'd not bothered writing them down. It's sort of fun to scratch things off the list, because it shows I'm making progress. 2. Set some easy goals. For example, if I dread doing something, I might say I'll just "get started" on it, or spend a couple of minutes on it. Chances are I'll end up spending much more time on it and even get it done.

The fact that I am making money online now definitely gives me motivation, when way back then I thought it's not even possible. I've had mild success and definitely eager to have more. That, and the fact that I am about to get married, that motivates me a lot..
