Tips To Stay Motivated And Succeed At Anything
No matter how driven you are, there will be times when your energy and commitment will ebb.
Yes, it happens—even to the most motivated among us.
You need to boost the energy – whatever the situation is you should stand up and get back with full energy.
So, when you need a boost, try these simple tips to stay motivated and succeed at anything. You know you can achieve anything when you put your mind to it – no one can stop you.
1. Set a goal
Set a goal and visualize it down to the most minute detail. See it, feel it, hear the sounds that accompany the result.
Elite athletes visualize their performance ahead of time — right down to the smell of the sweat dripping down their face as they cross the finish line.
2. Tap into the Energy of Others
If you feel tired, uninspired, even like giving up, I challenge you to examine the mindset of those around you. Do conversations with your closest companions renew your energy or drain it?
Do you have people in your life who can engage in stimulating conversation about business or the other things that you’re passionate about?
As human beings, we give and receive energy and inspiration. Make sure you are receiving as much as, or more than, you are handing out.
3. Get Your Thoughts Organized
When you are full of ideas and strategies: Your mind can go in a million directions and all of themseem viable at the time.
Collect these thoughts by talking through your desired outcome, what you’ve done so far, and your options for moving forward. A coach is a great resource for this, and I’d be happy to help.
Sometimes all it takes is a willing ear, so a patient friend will do. It’s surprising how things can fall back into place simply by revisiting your goals with a second party.
4. Get the help you need
It doesn’t necessarily take a village, but even if you could theoretically accomplish your objective alone, there’s inherent value in sharing your plan. It’s why people get married in front of witnesses.
Announcing your intentions sends a strong message to the world and, more important, to your unconscious mind, which can sometimes sabotage our best efforts. Also, we often overestimate our abilities.
The flip side is being highly selective about whom you tell and ask for help. It’s akin to the builder’s rule to always get “the right tool for the right job.”
