How do you get motivated? It's simple. The first thing you must decide is what direction your life to go in. Do you want a new career? A new home? More money? Dare to dream, and don't let that negative voice inside your head limit your dreams.
Next, you need a plan of action. Write down some goals, and some action steps so you know exactly what you need to do each day. Read over your goals every day, so they stay clear in your mind. Don't write your goals in a notebook and then stuff it in a drawer; post them where you can see them regularly - in your car, in your office, on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror.
Most importantly, keep a list of motivational quotes handy. This is going to be instrumental to your success. Why? Because there will be days when you will not be motivated, will not want to continue with your dream, and you will be so discouraged you will be tempted to go on living the way you have been living in the past. On those days, you will want to pull out your motivational quotes, and take some time to read them. It's amazing what even just 30 minutes of motivational reading can do for your spirit and your sense of well-being. Go to the park, or an outdoor café, or pick one of your favorite quiet places. Forget whatever else has been going on in your life, and just read. Make notes on what the quotes mean to you and how you can apply them in your own life.
To keep these 'dark' days from occurring too frequently, post the quotes where you can see them, just as you did with your goals. Don't just glance over them; really understand what they are saying, and apply them to your own situation. Find out more about who authored the quotes, and learn from them; how did they achieve success? What barriers did they overcome? This will undoubtedly enlighten you to the fact that everyone goes through challenging times; what matters is how they overcame those challenges. Remember that you are no better or no worse than anyone else - if they can overcome adversity, so can you. All it takes is motivation to move you into action!
