Motivation in Your Life

Happy New Year!!!
I hope you are off to a good start!  It's MOTIVATIONAL WEDNESDAY.  I am sure you have your goals in order and just needs a little bit of motivation to get them started.  So how do you get motivated?  There is no such thing as the perfect answer to the motivation question. Your answer will be based on your own individual experiences and analysis. I'd like to offer a little "motivational help" with your New Year's plans, goals and resolution by discussing how to boost your motivation.

First, let's find out what the importance of motivation is exactly.  Basically, motivation is the driving force which allows you to achieve your goals and go after what you want in life.  Without setting your goals FIRST, and getting that MIND SET, you cannot achieve anything.  The first part of accomplishing anything you want in life is knowing WHAT YOU WANT,  and then setting your mind toward that goal.

If you want to change your personality for the better, START EXERCISING, start a new habit,  be a better person,- all of these things would be easier accomplished if you properly motivated.  As long as you have a strong personal motivation and set your mind toward that goal, you can achieve almost anything that you want from life.  However, remember not to fall into the trap of looking for short-cuts to achieve your goals.  Everyone wants QUICK FIX, THE EASY WAY OUT. Those quick fixes may work, but they work for short term and usually kick you in the butt on the way back. It will even be a sweeter victory when you finally achieve your goal, knowing that you have had to go through several hurdles to attain it and knowing that you put in the hard work to get there.

So how do you develop motivation in life? If you wish to accomplish a goal, such as weight loss, how can you find it in you to properly motivated?  The best thing to do is to focus on one goal at a time.  Focus is the key element to any goal.  This should be partnered with the fact that you should make sure that your short-term goals all help in achieving your long-term goals-yes, write it down-so that you will have a visual representation of the things that you want to achieve rather than letting it all get lost in your head.

Once you get focused, part of the plan is to rid yourself of all negativity and negative aspects and distractions which might prevent you from archiving your goal.  This includes friends, family members and any other elements that may get in the way of your goals.  I don't mean that you have to eliminate these people from your life......just keep a good distance from them as they will hinder your progress with their comments and their bad habits.  You need to surround yourself with people and things of a positive nature.  If someone is constantly filling your head with negative comments or hindering your progress in your goals, you need to stay away from that person.

It's important to make sure that you completely blocking out any negative influences in your life.  If you feel that you are being distracted from your goal by a problem which does not seem to go away, ask yourself what you can do to eliminate such a challenge and distraction in your life. Maybe you are being side-tracked by negative thoughts and feelings because you have no faith in yourself. Addressing the root of the problem, completely blocking out any negative distraction and thinking purely positive thoughts is the best way for you to develop motivation in your everyday life.

It's important to have motivation in your life. Motivation is the fuel that you need to continue striving for your goals.  Soak up motivating things in your life on a daily basis.  Read great books that will inspire you. Read great blogs that are both positive and informative just like this one.

It's human nature to have days where you aren't motivated.  However,  if you continue to surround yourself with positive and motivational things, those days will be few and far between.

I wish you good luck with your new year's resolution, plans and goals,  no matter what they are!!! Remember, to think positive and strive for the best.....and it will come!
