Why does motivation seem to elude you? You own the creativity. You have the vision. Now you need the productivity, the self-motivation to keep you on top of your game. Work at Home Moms have many excuses because of their unique situation but they also possess the wonderful qualities to overcome motivational slumps. Now let's discover how to use these qualities to banish the roadblock to success: being unmotivated.
Top 7 Strategies to Increase Motivation:
1. Keep the big picture in the forefront. The greatest motivator you can have is to constantly review the big picture of what you want to accomplish. Be clear on the big picture - the end result. What does the finished project look like? Let that answer pull you into your work.
2. Keep your vision strong. Your vision is what motivates you to want to accomplish the big picture. Keep reviewing your vision - once you've attained the results, what will life be like? This is focusing beyond the project - these are the benefits of accomplishing your goal, the effect the accomplishment will have on your life.
3. Stay positive. Today, think only of the benefits of your business. List all the things that are positive about what you do. Determine to stay positive all day long.
4. Control your mind. When you allow your mind and your thoughts to focus on the problems and dwell on them you lose your motivation. Keep your mind sharp and focused on productivity - on the answers instead of the problems.
5. Find creativity. Discover your own "Creativity Formula". Creativity is inspired in different ways for each of us. Take a moment to reflect on things or moments where your creative nature has soared. What environment were you in? Did it involve people or were you alone? What were you doing - were you still, listening, involved, active, talking? When you discover your own "Creative Formula" you can tap into it whenever you need inspiration.
6. Winning is everything! Create small wins along the road to success. Set smaller, achievable goals and rewards and take the time to acknowledge your success. Celebrate the accomplishments.
7. Laugh. Learn to laugh at yourself and see the insignificance of your problems. Learn to laugh just for fun. Find things to laugh about and infuse your life with humor.
The bottom line: the best motivation comes from within. When you use these internal strategies you will find yourself struggling less frequently with lack of motivation.
