Three Simple Ways to Motivate Yourself Today!

   
Author: Deborah Crawford

Are you having a hard time getting things done? Are you making no steps toward achieving your goals and dreams? Could you use a little "motivation"?

Here are three easy things that will help you get there one day at a time.

1Review your Goals first thing in the morning.

It is so easy to lose sight of where you want to go. You might have a Great Big Dream or perhaps you just want to get a promotion at work. Maybe you have an elaborate detailed action plan or perhaps only a general idea. Most people do know what they want, and some know exactly how to get it. But, many people get bogged down in the day-to-day business of life that they dont have time, energy or inclination to go for it? The biggest obstacle in achieving goals & dreams is often just choosing what you want, clearly defining it, and reminding yourself! Dont let the day-to-day details keep you from seeing the big picture.

2Decide one, just one action you could take toward your goal.

Just one will get you going. Perhaps you have flow charts or to-do lists already completedjust pick whatever is your next action step and make some progress, no matter how small. If you are having a very busy day, pick a small thing, like checking on pricing for business cards. If you have more time, design the cards. If you have a really busy day and you see no time, take 10 minutes and plan time for the rest of the week for working on your goalsthis will count as your one action, because making time for your dreams is essential, and sometimes it can be a real challenge.

3Reward yourself.

Its a good idea to have a list of mini-rewards for those days when you can only spend five minutes toward your goal, as well as progressively better rewards. Of course the best reward of all will be achieving your dream, but to spur you along while you are on the journey, have some small rewards when you make progress, and even when you put forth a good effort toward progress.

Rewards can be as simple as allowing yourself to soak in a bubble bath instead of your usual quick shower. Some great ideas for mini rewards: a phone call to your best cheerleader?who always makes you feel like you can conquer anything; ten extra minutes stretching after your workout; dessert; a manicure; a cuddle on the sofa with your sweetie; a new houseplant.

You get the idealittle pleasures that make it all worthwhile, dont cost a fortune and make you smile.

Now, dont you want to get started? Good luck & Happy Dreams!

P.S. Repeat daily for best results!
