How to Stay Motivated

Whenever we first get started on a new project it is much easier to be motivated and doing something. But as time goes by and we continue to move forward it’s much harder to stay motivated to do the things we Must do to achieve our goal that we started with.

Feeling defeated will Never lead to Success and it can kill a dream quickly. So here are a few steps to help you Stay Motivated and moving forward along your personal journey.

*Take One Day at a Time. Don’t spend too much time worrying about tomorrow when you can Live in today. Do the things today that need to be done and be Grateful for Today. Live one day at a time and make it your Masterpiece!

*Surround Yourself with Positivity! Be Positive about what you are doing and surround yourself positivewith people and situations that support you. Don’t let negative people bring you down and rain on your parade. It is so easy these days to find Positive teachings and videos on the internet. If you spend more time feeding your mind with Positive thoughts, you will see more Positive influence in your overall life.

*Create a Vision board. Sometimes we need to have a visual to remind us Why we started in the first place. A vision board is a great way to keep your dreams and goals right in front of your eyes. Reflect on this vision board often and make it as detailed as possible and this will help to keep you focused on moving forward each day!

*Make S.M.A.R.T. Goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. So be Specific about what you really want. Make sure your goals are Measurable so you know how it’s going. Also make sure this goal is Attainable in the real world, don’t wish to be a millionaire by tomorrow but you can work toward being a Millionaire. Make sure your goals are Relevant to what you want to accomplish. Then put a time frame on when you want to reach each specific goal. If you do not make that date it’s not the end of the world, just re-evaluate and move forward.

*Reward Yourself. Make sure to reward yourself when you reach a specific goal or point in your journey. There is no sweeter reward then crossing off the task at hand, Reward Yourself for your Victories!Believe-in-yourself

*Believe in Yourself. There is an old saying; “If You Believe in Yourself, Anything is Possible!” Another one goes; “If you believe you can Or you believe you can’t, You are right!” You have to believe that you are capable of doing the things that are going to get you where you want to go. Your belief is going to make ALL the difference.

*Recognize your Progress. It will take Progress to keep moving forward toward your desire. Don’t confuse motion with progress, a rocking horse has motion but does not make progress. Progress means you Are moving Forward toward your goals. Make sure you are making Progress and not just making excuses.

*Visualize Accomplishing Your Goals. See yourself as you want to be when you have reached your desired goal. Make sure you visualize what You really want and not what others want of you. Visualize the things you want, see it, believe it and then take Action to create it. Visualize to Actualize!

*Be Kind to Yourself and Don’t Compare Yourself to others. Stand guard over your thoughts and make sure you are speaking to Yourself as you would to someone you love. Be careful how you are speaking to yourself because you are listening. Don’t let yourself fall into the trap of comparing your success to someone else. It is Your journey and not theirs. We each have different skill sets and great attributes and abilities and thus we are each very different. Be Yourself and don’t be too hard on yourself, there are plenty of people willing to do that for you. Be Proud even if you are making a few mistakes along the way because it means that You are trying. Be the Best You can be and rejoice in it.

be-grateful*Be GRATEFUL. And last but not least, Be Grateful for what you already have. Too often we spend time upset about what we do not have instead of being Grateful for what we do have. Take time to evaluate all the good things you have Today. Being Grateful is the Greatest form of Happiness. We may not have everything we want but we Always have things to be Grateful for. Live Simply, Dream Big, Be Grateful, Give Love and Laugh Lots! That’s the secret to life right there.
