How to keep yourself motivated

Sometimes we all need a little motivation to get stuff done. And, unfortunately, we cannot rely on everyone else to keep us motivated; it has to come from within. If you are ready to start taking care of business, keep reading, because we have come up with a few great ideas on how to motivate yourself.

First of all, you have to set a goal. Whether it is to lose weight, get a project done, or make more time for yourself - if you don't have a goal in mind, you won't get anything done. Make your goals realistic, but big. Small goals tend to be overlooked and forgotten. A bigger goal, will lead to greater motivation. And never tell yourself that you will try to attain the goal. Always tell yourself you will or must attain the goal. Remember to be flexible in how to attain your goal.

Second, avoid Negative Nelly's, Negative Nancy's, Debbie Downer's and anyone else who is just plain down in the dumps! Negative people are a waste of time and drag you down with them. Instead, surround yourself with positive people who also have big goals. Their motivation will rub off on you. Before you know it, you will be one of those people who are inspiring others.

Third, prepare your mind and body. Condition your mind to think positively and avoid the negative thoughts. Accomplishing your goal requires physical energy. So, don't be lazy. Get up, get some exercise (this triggers endorphins, which are chemicals your body releases that makes you happy!), and enjoy life. Avoid activities that don't help achieve your goal. If they are counter-productive, they are a waste of your energy and time.

A good way to prepare your mind is to meditate. Learn how to meditate by clicking here.

Fourth, do not wait for the perfect time. If you keep thinking you need to wait for the right time, that time will never come; therefore, you will never accomplish your goal. The right time is now! Just go! Give it a shot. If you don't take action immediately, you could be missing a golden opportunity.

Don't let time be a factor when starting a new goal. Do it right now and quit wasting time!
Fifth and lastly, take responsibility for your own results. If you don't achieve your goal, don't blame anyone else. You are responsible for the outcome. If you try and blame others, fate, divine intervention, or bad luck, you will always have an excuse as to why you didn't make it other than your lack of effort.

Luck will not help you achieve your goals. It is your actions that make the end result.
So get out there and make your goals happen! Keep a positive attitude and don't let those naysayers bring you down! There are always going to be people who don't want to see you succeed because of their own selfishness. Just forget them and focus on your accomplishments.
