SELF-MOTIVATION

Use movement & pump yourself up

It’s tough to feel motivated when you’re sitting idly in a corner. Instead stand up, move around and pump yourself up. Studies have shown that physical movements affect our mental state. So whenever you don’t feel motivate, [you should] get moving, make a fist and pump yourself up.

Make use of pain and pleasure

One of the best ways to get yourself motivated is to make use of pain and pleasure. How do we exactly do this? [It’s} Easy, associate massive pain to not taking action and massive pleasure in taking action. So whenever you think of not taking action, for example not exercising associated painful things (like becoming fat, lacking energy, looking ugly, body getting weaker, etc.) to it. Then associated pleasurable things like looking good, feeling energetic etc to exercising (taking action).

Make use of rewards

Another way is of course to use motivation and rewards. As they say, when something is at stake, when there is a reward involved, everything changes. Make a pact with yourself and set some form of rewards for motivation.

Have variety in your environment

The environment you are in can have a big influence on your motivation level as well. Let’s face it, it is harder to be motivated to take action when you are lying on the bed. Secondly, make it a point to add variety to your environment if possible. Once in a while change the location—use another room in the house, head to the library, a quite café, go to the park, etc.

Motivational music

Using music is a great self motivation technique. Prepare a CD or a playlist of uplifted motivational music and keep it nearby so that it will come in handy whenever you need it. You can play the music in the background while taking action of first listening intently to the music feeling it’s motivational quality. And while listening intently, visualize yourself being motivated, taking action, and reaping the rewards from your action.
