5 Effective Techniques of Self-Motivation
by Momodou Sabally
Who needs motivation? Asks the
skeptic. My answer is: YOU. You see, we all need motivation. Whether you are a
failure, a success, or in between these two. The paradox however, says Author
and motivational expert, Zig Ziglar, is that the people who need motivation less
are the ones who make the best use of motivational ideas and techniques. Zig
further states that he does not know a self-made millionaire who does not use a
cassette recorder for educational and motivational purposes.
So let's share 5 techniques for self-motivation that would speed up your journey
to success.
Yes, techniques to rev yourself, like an automobile to move faster in your
Positive directions. You need motivation for success, and here are 5 practical
techniques for instant self-motivation:
1. State Your Goals First you need clearly stated goals with deadlines; write
them on paper then develop a strong desire to achieve those goals. W. Clement
Stone and Napoleon Hill in their PMA Science of Success course state that if you
know what you want and want it strongly enough, then you will surely get it.
2. Think positively To succeed in life, you need to think positively about
yourself and your chances for success. In his popular gold record "The strangest
secret", Earl Nightingale says that if you think positively you will get
positive results, and if you think negatively you will get negative results. How
right is he! This magnificent universe operates in a positive framework
according to the laws of God so if you think positively you will earn the
cooperation of the forces of the universe.
3. Create a Definite Plan You need a concise plan for the achievement of your
goals; and it is important that you work your plan. An action plan in itself is
a good source of motivation and it will save you time in moving towards your
destination. Motivational speaker and author Steve Chandler says "successfully
planned work will motivate you to do more and more until you become
unstoppable."
4. Welcome your problems See the good in obstacles; as you work your plan, you
are likely to face problems but that should not make you to give up. Countless
philosophers have said that every failure (or problem) has the seed of an
equivalent good in it. Learn to see the good in problems and if you are a
religious person pray for the ability to see the good in every problem when it
arises. This attitude will help you to make your problems work for you, and not
against you.
5. Have Fun Finally, learn to make your work fun. The key here is to do the job
that makes you happy. If your current job is not fun for you, do not be
discouraged. Your key for now will be to try to see the fun in it. Pro football
Hall of Famer Frank Tarkenton was quoted as saying that you should look at any
job you do as fun. "If it's not fun, you're not doing it right".
You now have 5 immortal techniques to quickly motivate yourself into ACTION. The
key word here is ACTION. All the motivation in this world will not do anything
for you unless you ACT NOW. Trust these steps as workable and effective
guidelines and implement them. The results will amaze you.
