Self motivation

Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself – Coco Chanel

The only limitations in our lives are the ones we put on ourselves. If you don’t have enough self-motivation, it comes down to a simple reason: you don’t see yourself as a self-motivated person. Change your negative beliefs into positive ones by conditioning your mind. Catch yourself when you think negatively about yourself and transform those thoughts into positive ones.

Learn better time management strategies. Sometimes the key to self-motivation is having the necessary tools and strategies to manage your time such as having the habit to write things down, prioritise the more important ones and, do one thing at a time, find ways to stop procrastination. Think about the big “pay day” to stay motivated.

 

Turning to inspirational quotes for motivation or looking toward a mentor for advice can help you on your path to success. Read more about famous role models or leaders you look up to and see how they use self-motivation. You may be able to pick up some techniques or gain some inspiration as you read about their strategies and struggles.

 

Our brains are hardwired to respond to music, use music to relax. Tapping into the types of beats and rhythms that boost your mood and energy levels is a great way to get you out of a low mood and more focused on the task at hand.

 

Go out for a walk or jug often. Even the most energised people will eventually get run down if they spend too much time in cramped spaces with artificial light. When trying to learn how to self-motivate and reach your goals, don’t make the mistake of burning the midnight oil and staying confined to your house or office. Getting outside and spending time in nature every day is a perfect way to take a break, boost energy and replenish your self-motivation.

 

No multitasking. You may think that working on three projects at the same time is the best way to get things done and that your self-motivation will soar when you can simultaneously check multiple to-dos off your list. You’re wrong. Multi-tasking diminishes focus, and as Tony says, where focus goes, energy flows. Select the most important task you need to work on and concentrate solely on that until you’ve accomplished what you need to, then move on to the next one.
