How do you motivate yourself?

When we stop searching for peace, it comes searching for us. Realize you have nothing to chase & everything to become. Once you're it, everything will find YOU!

I do meditation. It keep me fit and relax my mind.

To feel calm and composedI like coming to the warrior forum to get motivation Nothing has worked better for the last twelve months

I read A Course In Miracles, eat food, exercise and/or envision the potential fruits of success! Those keep me clean and balanced.

I just pray and read the word of God as well i just think my family becuase they are my inspiration.

In motivating my own self. I do lots of stuff.
I usually read articles, blogs, videos, and forums that involves inspirational stuff.
I also do prayer I talk with God in a of praying before I sleep and when I wake up it makes me feel fully motivated to work and fire things up.

I've always been intrigued about meditation. I know it does great things to people but I can't clear my mind no matter what I do. Your supposed to not think of anything right? How can you do that?

My method is go outside when I am not good, I love to go to airport, Freedom! man.
and if my eyes are tired, I will take a shower. the water make me feel that I exist.
Also, I will change some place, like go to Library.

Hope this help, I believe,
Change now, you can change your future.

Good luck, my friend.

I do YOGA to keep myself calm. It relax body and increase mental ability.

I read the book about steve jobs,
his life is a great inspire for me.

I will go to a sports vacation for a week . I will go mountain climbing, skiing or playing tennis . It gets me refreshed and ready to work again

Thats Quite good Idea!

you can make a brake by going outdoor, then keep watching the blue sky. it helps me a lot.

Lonely and depressed? I turn off the TV, watch Disney Channel's comedy shows and that's it; I just laugh. Sometimes, I try to detached myself by going to the mall, going out with friends or simply planning a trip abroad.

I look at a picture of my son.

Great question! When I feel down or lack energy I tend to watch the I am champion motivational video. I promise it will definitely motivate you and get you pump!

Check it out:

I watch the Any given Sunday video on youtube

Say loudly that "YOU CAN DO IT" and "MONEY MONEY MONEY" lol

this is a nice video. found it yesterday:

one more on morning ritual

When I am depressed, I usually watch anime.

Hi Warriors,

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.

I have my goals set up in very achievable order. This way you wont get distracted too often.

I go jogging everyday that helps to reduce stress from work. And besides I am a optimistic person that is why stress is a not an issue for me.

I usually eat healthy food, regular exercise and surround myself with motivated and optimistic people.

I think about the BIG house which i want to buy but can't. It motivate me to continue on my work.

Dave Chappelle. Works every time!

my way of motivating
with adequate rest, exercise and multiply drinking water to recharge me.

I try every day to practice meditation. I spent 30 minutes a day to me. I think if I did not care, I may not care for others.

I do not know, so far to me is fine. When I meditate I visualize how I wanna be.

Regards!

Yes, meditation could help. But if you are depressed I suggest you talk to a close, trusted friend or family. Meditation may lead you to meditating about bad things, bad memories which will just make you feel more depressed. Surround yourself with a strong support group - could be hard at the beginning, but it will definitely be worth it knowing other people. Try not to focus on your problems and depression. Many people out there suffer more than you do. Your problem probably is too small compare to theirs, or maybe not, and they can help you find wisdom in their experiences. The meditation that I know is helpful is spiritual meditation - prayer and reading the Bible.

When you feel depressed , then JUST BE.Don't do anything.Let the thoughts settle down and get connected to the infinite intelligence.You will feel better.

Meditation works great, but I make it a daily habit to either read something about personal development or listen to an audio. Before you know it, the lessons seep into your subconscious and you are automatically doing what you need to do.

You gotta make a habit of being happy now. Not when you get *PAID*. Not when you get the girl/guy of your dreams. Now. If you are feeling down, write down what it is that is making you feel down and write another list of what makes you feel happy. In many cases, you realize the list of things that brings you down is not that long and can be resolved relatively easily.

Don't blame outside sources for your problems and take responsibility for where you life is. That usually snaps me out of a funk real quick. heh

I went out and bought a car I couldn't afford. Brand new Toyota Camry. Now I have to get to work and make my business work or I'm sunk. Have to go ahead and take risks in life. I have the resources, the knowledge and now I have the why. S I have to make my monthly car payment with my business revenue. Have to. That's it period!

That's what works for me.

Sometimes we have to work when we don't geel motivated to work. I enjoy earning a living online but their days when I'm motivated and days when I'm not motivated.

Don't base what you do in life on how you feel. Most of the time when I'm down and a little depressed I go out and have some FUN and focus on getting my mind clearly off of what was saddening me.

I would advise you figuring out what is causing that type of feeling and emotion and try to get rid of or solve whatever is causing that.

Hope that helped!

When you have nowhere where to ask for help you will definetly return to GOD. For simple things though you may find your motivation in simple things like : books, friends advices, sport etc.

I am self motivated and determined to do any tough work. But if some how I loose my track, I find my self embedded with tons of probs. That is the perfect time when i need motivation. And at that time my close ones do the motivational works.

When things just do not go as plan, I usually take a step back and look at the picture. But I usually walk my dog to help me relax

Since things outside of me do not have any intrinsic value (i.e. my brain creates my emotions based on past perception, and a rock, for example, does not have any more emotional meaning than a car, or any other object) I just meditate on the negative emotions I'm observing until my brain re-wires to stop feeling them.

Well, you're asking two different questions (how do we motivate ourselves? and how do we feel calm and confident?)

For me, writing Morning Pages -- similar to a journal or diary -- (just sitting and typing for 30 minutes, sorting out yesterday, planning today, examining my goals, writing down what's frustrating me and making me happy or angry) is a morning ritual.

That, plus my other rituals (exercise, eating healthy, even flossing) make me feel "in control."

I exercise about 20 hours a week (yoga, Pilates, bicycling, a series of stretches, etc.) which is excessive but pain is a great motivator (chronic back pain.)

To motivate myself, I often envision the end result. Then, the hard part is getting started. So I trick myself: I just tell myself that all I have to do is one simple thing (like open a word processing file and name it and save it in a folder named for the new project.)

Of course, once I've gone to the trouble to open the file and named it and saved it, then I may as well go ahead and start typing something. Getting started is sometimes the most difficult part so I turn the first step into a tiny bite-sized task that's non-threatening and not-overwhelming.

Breaking a big task down into tiny pieces is the best way to prevent myself from becoming overwhelmed and paralyzed by the enormity of the project.

And by chopping it up into pieces (some of which can be done in just a few minutes) I'm able to feel more productive, like I'm making progress. It's fun to make a to-do list and cross things off. That keeps moving me in the right direction and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

And, of course, at times it helps to grab some inspiration from someone else (and that's why I sometimes come to the Warrior Forum, to read success stories and also to see that others are fighting the same battles and dealing with similar frustrations.)

So thanks everyone for sharing your problems and frustrations and also for sharing your victories, big and small.

Think about the reward or the end results pushes me forward.
watch some inspirational videos does help too =)

I simply start my day with good thoughts even if we sometimes have a lot of worries. I think of the importance of still waking up in the morning. It's about being positive despite of terrible things- though its really hard sometimes. Think good and positive things and you'll find hope and solution to every problems you might have. Think of negative ones then your day will be darker than you can ever imagine.

When i feel depressed and procrastinate i read a chapter from one of Larry Winget's book...

Gives me the kick up the ... that i needed

Cheers,

Exercise. Works best for me. Just go out for a jog or something - get out of the house. When you get back you will feel much more confident and your head will be clearer.

Honestly, i would do this for free. I love making ******* badass websites that people love to use.

I like making them pretty. I like making them usable. I like creating awesome content.

I just like doing this stuff. I like designing systems and just generally kicking butt at business. The whole thing is fun for me.

If you enjoy what youre doing it wont feel like work, then you dont care if youre a success or not. Then you will take action. In the same way people watch TV or play cod for fun, i like making websites for fun or hanging out on forums answering peoples questions.

When youre at a point where you can earn money doing something that you love doing, you HAVE ALREADY WON.

It's as simple as that. TBh im pretty happy. Right now i am doing well. Doing low 5-fig month. I have low bills. Almost debt free. I wanna travel. Spend time with my girlfriend and make kickass sites.

It's really not that hard to earn a couple of K a month doing this if you REALLY WORK AT IT. The problem is most people are unwilling to work really ******* hard. Thats my edge. I take action for fun. Ive lost so much money doing this, ive made some huge mistakes. But if u view everything as a learning process, there literally isnt any risk.

Its just about enjoying the process. Taking action. And learning from your **** ups. Simple as that.

Thats the only success blueprint that exists.

/end rant

Have a nice day buddy

One thing is good in me, once I set a goal I never turn back. Always think positive and think of the bright future coming. These thoughts make me motivated.

I think of my friends who have got success. This is how I have been motivated.

I like to exercise and then drink a good beverage.... works everytime.... hope this helps....

I guess my motivation are my kids and wife. When it comes to them I become more inspired and determined to work harder each day. They are the strongest motivation I have.

I keep saying to myself that I have to give back to my parents, and prove them I'm successful. The second method is look at the remaining money of my bank account.

I keep thinking about my goals and results, knowing that they are already achieved. It's just that I have to take little steps everyday to manifest them.

My poverty motivates me the most.
