Is there a solution? There are probably dozens of them. Below are six of the best self motivation techniques that consistently work when used. Try them all, but if you find even one or two here that work for you, youll be on your way. Self Motivation Techniques That Work 1. Talk to get motivated. One of my favorite ways to create energy and motivation is to talk. Once I tell my wife about the article Im going to write, Im out of my slump and back at the keyboard. For less inspiring tasks, talk about the larger goals it will help you achieve. 2. Stimulate your desire. Seeing their potential future motivates many to sign up for get-rich-quick plans. The really good salesmen can put you in your imagined dream home in minutes, and make you feel motivated to do anything to make it real. Learn to be your own salesman. 3. Stimulate your pain. One Neuro-Linguistic Programming technique is to mentally link pain with not acting. It is like when finally stop hitting that snooze button on the alarm, and get up because you think you might lose your job. Just imagine any bad consequences that may occur if you dont do what you need to do. 4. Find a true interest. If you have no interest in what you are doing, it might mean you need to do something else. If its just a task you dislike, but it needs to be done, relate it clearly in your mind to the greater goal. I dont like to drive, but I dont have a motivation problem when Im driving to the mountains for a vacation. 5. Boost your energy. You need energy for self motivation. Coffee may help for a while, if caffeine doesnt create other problems for you. Exercising and sleeping well help too. Yo should also watch out for sugary foods. The sugar blueskill motivation. Once you find energy boosters that work for you, make a list and keep it handy for future use. 6. Take any small step. Ive found if I commit to raking up one bag of leaves, I soon want to finish all the yard work. Taking any small step towards your goals is a great self motivation technique. To make this even easier, break larger goals down into small steps. Motivation techniques really do work, but dont ask me how to get motivated to use them. In any case, you were motivated enough to read this far, so youll be fine. Oh, and humor is number seven. A good laugh can overcome that feeling of being overwhelmed that sucks away self motivation. |
