Learning how to motivate yourself is crucial to your success, both in your life and business. Many of us find it easier to give advice or even motivation to other people. But when it comes to motivating self, we just don't do it.

Why motivation is so important and why do you need it?

Well, without motivation we can't move forward. Everyone including the hot shot personal development gurus will experience a slowdown in their lives. But they know how to ignite themselves up again and recharge. You see, motivation is like the fuel that powers a car, without it the car will not move. Same as human, we need motivation to propel us forward and do what we are supposed to do each day to reach out goals and dreams.

Now that we know how importance is motivation, the question is how do you motivate yourself? Here are some tips to help you to pump up your motivation...

One of the main reaon why people have low motivation is that they don't have goals or aim in life. If your life is goalless, you are just doing what you think you are supposed to do when the next thing comes to your mind. You won't have the focus and energy to do what you are supposed to do. And you will feel bored very quickly.

On the other hand, if you have a clear aim in life, you will wake up in the morning with high aspiration and motivation. You know exactly what you want to do each day and you do it with high passion because you have goals and dreams to reach. So you are working to move yourself closer to your dreams each day.

Therefore, the first thing you need to do in order to be able to motivate yourself is to have a concrete goal or aim in life.

The next tips I want to share with you in order to be able to motivate self is to let go of your past mistakes. You see, everyone makes mistakes and in fact it is okay to make mistakes as long as you don't repeat the same mistakes over and over again. If you make mistake, learn from it and leave it behind. Don't dwell on your problem because doing so will stop you from moving forward. It kills your motivation.

Once you have let go of your past, you begin to accept your mistakes and move on. You will be able to use your past mistakes to your advantage and find ways to do things better so that you don't repeat the same mistake. Once you let go... you will be able to discover new method of doing thing more efficiently.

Another tip I want to share with you is... Stay Away From Negative People!

Negative people don't have positive motivation. The are wasting their energy on the negative things. If you want to have a positive motivation, stay away from the negative people and make friend with positive people instead. Friends who have positive attitude can help to motivate you. They can give you some great advice when you are facing difficulty. They can also help to charge up your motivation.

Last but not least, never compare yourself with others. Everyone will go through life diffrently. You may be in the different stages with other people so don't compare yourself with them. Just focus on your own goals and dreams; focus your energy and motivation to help you reach your own goals. You can give advice and help motivate others but you can't help them to get the goals for them.

To recap...

Motivation is crucial to our success. We must learn how to motivate ourselves so that we are moving forward each day. Focus your energy to achieve your goals and dreams and stay away from the negative people because they can drag you down and destroy your dreams. Don't let them do that to you. Get together with the positive people because they can help fuel your motivation. Read the rest of this entry »

Let me tell you a quick story. When I started my business in 1993, I faced all the challenges experienced by most new business start-ups. I also had to deal with the all the negative situations; the people who said – “The Speaking and Training business is a hard market to break into, it’s very competitive, you’re very brave! There was also the rejection from potential customers and the people who’d let me down at the last minute.

I quickly realised that if I was going to be successful, there were two things that I really needed. Lots of BRAIN ENERGY and lots of BODY ENERGY.

Sure-fire tip number 1 is – Build your Brain Energy.
Imagine that you’ve just been rejected for a bank loan, or you’ve just been turned down by a potential customer, or a publishing company has rejected the book that you’ve slaved over for the past couple of years.
If you react with – “Oh no, not again, I’m really fed up with this. These people are a real pain. They’re making a big mistake. What am I going to do now?”
This sort of reaction drains your brain of energy, adds to your stress levels and destroys your self motivation.

Reacting drains the brain – thinking less so.

Get the thinking part of your brain working and say to yourself – “I’ll make an appointment today with a better bank! I’ll phone the next potential customer on my list right now! The next publishing company will see the potential in my book!”
There are also many minor situations that happen every day that’ll drain the energy from your brain. If I receive a parking ticket, I pay the fine right away; get rid of it; forget it and move on. Moaning and complaining about it drains the brain and the fine still has to be paid.

Do not, and I repeat, do not say – “Oh no, what am I going to do now?” Every time you say – “Oh no” your brain has a huge drain of energy.
Build up your brain energy using lots positive self-talk.
Your level of success in terms of your happiness, emotional wellbeing and anything else you desire is a direct result of how you talk to yourself. The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself.
Listen to the self-talk that goes on in your head and ask yourself – “Is what I’m saying allowing me to be confident, on top and going for it?” If so – great!
“Or is it holding me back and stopping me achieve my goals?” If this is the case – STOP IT, change the program!
Think about the things you say to yourself and make every statement in the present tense.

Don’t say, for example – “I’m going to make a success of this business” or “I’m going to get organised,” or “I’m going to be much more confident.”
Say – “I am totally in control of my life. I am totally confident and positive. I’m achieving my goals. I have determination and drive.”
What you’re actually doing here is re-programming your subconscious. If you talk to yourself in a positive way, that’s what your subconscious will focus on and you’ll have lots of brain energy

Sure-fire tip number 2 is - Build your Body Energy
The body and the brain are linked together so when the brain drains of energy so does the body. However, the body also does a lot of running about, up and down off the seat and often takes a bit of a beating.
For it to work well, it needs to be in good condition in the first place. We all know by now that if we eat too much or eat the wrong things, smoke too much or drink too much alcohol, then our body is in danger of breaking down.
However, if you want more body energy, then you’re going to have to do some exercise. (Do I hear you saying - “I need the body energy before I can do the exercise!?”) You know as well as I, that if you take more exercise, you will have more energy.

Now I know you think you don’t have the time. You may also be the type that doesn’t want to go to the gym and lift heavy things or leap about in an aerobics class; however, you need to take some exercise that makes you sweat a little.
I’m sorry, but a round of golf doesn’t count, it isn’t the kind of exercise you need. Golf is great and it’s good for the stress but it doesn’t make you sweat.

If you’re going to walk then walk fast for a distance, enough to push up the heart rate and increase the breathing.
Again, get your internal program right and start to think how you can make your exercise enjoyable. I see some people at the health club making the whole business a real chore. They get on a bike or a rowing machine and try to kill themselves for twenty minutes. If that’s your thing then fine but please don’t make it a chore, plug into the sound system and catch up with what’s on TV.

If you’re really not into exercise then please make sure you have other activities outside of your workplace and make them fun. Too many people are going home and slumping in front of the TV - successful people don’t do that.

Make no mistake about it; if you look after the body and the brain; you’ll have lots of VROOM! (And that’s another word for self-motivation)
