Need Motivation? Want to Make Great Decisions?
What is Keeping You Stuck?
What makes people self-motivated?
To be successful, you need to have strong motivation. Motivation does not come from getting from point A to point B. We need a reason to do something.
Motivation must have some element of ‘will power’. You must also be able to handle pain. What exactly motivates you?
Lack of energy or self-motivation?
It’s a question that many are struggling with. There are a few of us who are disciplined in our quest for personal growth.
We use modalities such as subliminal, hypnosis or self-talk to increase our motivation.
Some people are not self-motivated, they go from week to week without any goals.
They are stuck in their 9–5 grind — eating junk food & watching things that actually numb their minds.
Why is Watching TV or Eating Junk Food — the “go to habit” for so many people ?
Junk food or processed food stimulates the reward system in the brain. This makes us feel better.
This is similar to many other addictive drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, alcohol or even cigarettes.
They feel powerless to stop, like junkies looking for their next “fix”. It is a vicious cycle.
Chemicals, sugar and ingredients in junk food keep you craving to eat more and lower your resistance to stop.
What is the best way to make a decision?
Many of us spend a lot of time making decisions. Our lists are often too long and detailed. Your experience can help you get a feeling or an intuition to make the right decision.
You want to make the right choice. The key is making a decision.
Not making a decision — is a decision to do nothing.
This will impact your future.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Can I forgive myself for making the wrong decision?
Realize that there are no wrong decisions. You have a choice A or B, or more. Once you pick one, you might realize that it was all wrong.
The problem is what you do next — Do you sit and feel sorry for yourself? Or do you ask yourself — What did I learn from this?
If you fail — pick yourself up — figure out another course of action. Just do it!
How do I get out of my own way?
As you work towards improving your life, it may feel like you are on an uphill battle. The process of getting unstuck can be challenging, but it is worth it.
It may seem that it is more than you can handle. Some people give up, because they do not have the proper mental preparation. To win a battle, we must be ready to take action.
Stopping somewhere on the journey is not an option for those that plan on succeeding. Some people give up too easily, and stop moving forward.
They will never experience victory if they don’t believe that they can do it.
Belief is the key, as well as continuing to focus on their mission to get things done.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Theodore Roosevelt
Final Thoughts:
Your self-motivation is the ability you have that drives you to do what you do.
It will help you take the initiative and actions you need to pursue your goals and get things done.
It’s an inner drive that helps you take actions to create and achieve.
Your ability to motivate yourself depends on your belief.
What you believe either empowers you or it limits you.
The power of belief is in its ability to create a vision. As you get stronger you can take more actions and get closer to achieving your goals.
What you believe drives what you do, and what you do determines what you will achieve.
