I know people find it really hard to stay motivated so i'll try and help out a little bit!
Now that i work in sales i need to motivated myself everyday to work hard and to push myself, as my effort is directly linked to how much money i get paid....you better believe i am getting that paper! :P
1 - Have a goal
It's difficult to score if you don't have a goal. Imagine a football team just mindlessly kicking a ball from left to right with no end result. That's exactly what life would be like if you didn't have a goal in mind.
Your goal can be anything! Short term or long term! I try to have a couple of short term goals in life and then one long term goal.
For example.
Long term - Is to own my own house and become a sales manager.
Short term - Is to loose more weight and get down to 9 stone
Short term - To save up for 2 holidays this year
2 - Set the plan in motion
It's all well and good having a goal and everything but if you don't work toward its....it's basically pointless.
This is the bit people find most difficult i think, because they don't know where to start! and they don't know which goal they want to go for first. So you have to learn to prioritise, which would be most achievable and which ones you would be able to achieve quickest. I'm not saying that quicker is always better! But it does help prioritise which goals you can go for first. & usually if you achieve one goal, you'll be hungry for the next.
3 - Don't give up
Never give up. It's really that simple. When the devil tells you to stop what your doing, you ignore him and carry on. There a quote that i always remind myself of when i'm having a really bad day that keeps me motivated with my weight loss and that's 'The food you've been craving for an hour or the body you've wanted your whole life'....i'll take the body thanks!
4 - Chill out & enjoy the ride!
Your on the steps to becoming a better person, a better you! So enjoy it! Your meant to be doing something that is going to benefit you. Don't stress too much and enjoy! :)
Random, i know. But i am constantly asked how i stay motivated and focused on what i want and these are the processes that go through my mind :)
I hope it helped!
Peace and Love always x
