Self Motivation Techniques, Get Motivated and Achieve More
10 proven effective self motivation techniques. Easy ways to get motivated and achieve more.
People who achieve some noteworthy success during their lifetime are people who have desire, goals, and aspirations.
They are not satisfied with mediocrity or conforming to the norm.
They strive for change, for bigger and better things.
You cannot win unless you have the desire to win.
No matter what you want to get out of life, being able to motivate yourself is an essential ingredient.
I want to share 10 self motivation techniques from Dr. Denis Waitley from his book the psychology of winning.
#2- concentrate all your energy and intensity, without distraction, on the successful completion of your current project. Finished what you start.
#2- give solution oriented feedback when people tell you their problems. When the problems are your own, focus on the immediate question-“what’s the answer?”
#3- don’t take council from your fears and don’t worry about them. They are part of being human. Associate with other winners. They will help you overcome your fears.
#4- paint the picture of what the achievement looks like and feels life, when your motivating others… And demonstrate your own confidence and believe in their ability to accomplish that given the objective.
#5- for every one of your goals make it a habit to repeat again and again, “I want to-I can,” “I want to-I can.” Develop a simple, new, affirmative self talk vocabulary about yourself.
#6- seek and talk in person this week to someone who currently is doing what you want to do most, and doing it well. This applies to skiing, acting, singing, speaking, hang gliding, selling, earning, or even being a good spouse or parent. Find an expert… Get the facts; make a project of learning everything you can about winners in that field. Take a course in it… Get personal lessons; and generate excitement by mentally seeing yourself enjoying the rewards of success.
#7- make a list of five of your most important current wants or desires, and right next to each… Put down what the benefit or payoff is to you when you achieve it. Look at this list before you go to bed each night and upon waking each morning.
#8- focus all your attention and energy on the achievement of the objectives you are involved with right now. Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. Remember, you usually get what you think of most.
#9- replace the word “try” with “will” in your daily vocabulary. This is a form of semantics and simply establishes your new attitude of dwelling on things you will do, rather than things you plan to try, with that built in excuse in advance for possible failure.
#10- replace the word “can’t,” with “can” in your daily vocabulary. Can applies to about 95% of all the challenges you encounter.
Follow these self motivation techniques and apply them in your daily life.
When you understand how to motivate yourself, you will open up unlimited opportunity for advancement and success.
We all have unlimited potential, and the only limits on us are the ones that we impose on ourselves. Think zero limits when you set your goals, and never consider failure to be an option.
