Becoming very clear on our motivation when making a big change in our lives is an important step to achieve success.
The are five key elements to staying motivated:
(1) benefits – write out a long list of what you will achieve, or what you life will be like when you reach your goals. Be specific and detailed. This is a great time to use your vision board.
(2) mistakes are okay – we are not perfect. Change take determination and courage. But don’t let one small miss derail your goals and dreams.
Look at mistakes as lessons learned. Maybe we have to change a method or approach to achieving a goal. For instance, if you know you do not have extra time in your morning routine, don’t try to add even 10 minutes
to this time period.
(3) attitude – stay positive. You can achieve any and all of your dreams. The universe looks for ways to fulfill you dreams as long as we adopt the right thoughts and beliefs.
(4) don’t give up – change can take a long time and can be challenging. Remember is at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
(5) Reward yourself – This technique can really work. For each and every small step of progress, recognize your effort and treat yourself to a reward. Choose something meaningful – this does not include a big ice cream cone when you are trying to loose weight, instead save up for a healthy massage.
Keep at it!
