Motivation - How to Get it Done

How often have you heard someone say, "I don't feel like it," or "I have no motivation?" Yet these same people want the motivation to finish whatever it is they lack motivation for. We have all been in those shoes. We sometimes lack the drive to get something done.

There are situation where we all have high motivation. Hunger is often a good example of this. When you are famished and ready to eat your own body weight in food, chances are you're pretty good at devouring some food and solving your hunger.

The great news is that you can use this type of high motivation to have high motivation for anything. For you to get motivation, a specific pattern happens in your head. When this pattern is initiated you get motivated.

Here is how you figure out your own pattern. I will use myself as an example. When I'm hungry my thought pattern operates like this:

1) I state either out loud or in my head, "I'm hungry!" or "I need food!"
2) I then start visualizing different types of food choices.
3) I then associate the taste and a picture of the food with a good feeling of having my hunger satisfied.
4) I then take action to feed myself and walk to the kitchen.

Let's say I now have little motivation to take out the trash. I can take the same thought pattern and give myself motivation. Example:

1) I state in my head or out loud, "I need to take out the trash," or "I want to take out the trash."
2) I visualize myself taking out the trash.
3) I associate a good feeling with taking out the trash, such as "when it's done, I will feel as though I have accomplished something."
4) I get up a take out the trash.

You can now do the same thing. Write out what steps you go through in your head for things that you have high motivation for.

You may have more or fewer steps than me. Your steps may be very different than mine, too, as everyone's motivation strategy is uniquely theirs and perfect for them. Before you act to get something done there will be some type of mental pattern going on. This pattern is represented by your senses as a visualization--touching, feeling, sound and/or smell.

You will put the senses together in your head in order to complete that for which you are highly motivated.

When you lack motivation the pattern is not the same. Thus, you only need to put your motivation pattern into place to get your motivation back, and then . . . shazam! You got your motivation "A" game.
