How to Get Motivated and Have Industrial Strength Self-Motivation
It is not your fault if popular self-help courses have never worked for you over the long term. How to get motivated is not adequately dealt with. Why? Because generally speaking there are problems with the material you have read and listened to in these courses: To appeal to a wider audience the self-help experts often leave out the more complex and the more powerful concepts and techniques - the best ones for getting motivated! Instead you get a burst of short term inspiration that cannot and will not last. While the best material is only taught to a small group of enthusiasts who are willing to pay extra for it. The irony is that the most powerful techniques, although sometimes unusual, are understandable and effective for most people. As long as you are taught a step-by-step approach you can follow to get motivated. It is usually the explanation of why it works that leaves people totally confused. But as long as you have the how-to you can start getting results right away and get motivated. As a result of the decision to leave out the best material you end up learning some simple ideas that work only when you already feel positive and dynamic. For example, someone tells you to get motivated and to give it your best. If you are feeling unmotivated a pep talk like that will do you very little good. Imagine what it would be like if instead you could tune in your motivation in the same way you tune in a TV. Well you can once you know how to. And this is possible for you only when you discover the step by step approach that unleashes the dormant motivation power inside you. Knowing what to do is very different from knowing how to do it. Many self help courses teach you what to do but not how to do it or how to stay motivated over time. As a result you may feel wiser AND more frustrated! At least before you did not know what to do --- now you know what to do but cannot do it. Stay clear of any material that does not focus on the how to of motivation. And make sure you get the key distinctions you need to master the strategies. For example, we have all heard a lot about the importance of goal setting. And we might even write our goals down and review them from time to time. But how do you explain your lack of interest in pursuing your goals? Your lack of motivation? It is because an essential element is missing from the goal setting process. Unless your goals are in alignment with your highest values and they feel right for you it is highly unlikely you will achieve them. In fact, you may sabotage your efforts to get ahead. And all your work will be characterized by lethargy and seemingly never ending and tiring effort. To sum up - look for practical self-motivation material that takes powerful processes and breaks them down into simple step by step systems. And realize that knowing what to do is pointless unless you know how to. Spend a little time each day conditioning your mind and you will be astounded at your rapid progress....

Fear As you prepare to take your first steps, could there possibly be something holding you back? Get Up and Do! The motivation to change my oil came the other day when I turned the key in my car's ignition. It coughed wearily, and there was an ominous clicking sound where the engine should have chimed in. Then there was a brief flashing of several lights on the dash. One of them was the oil light, and I sat behind the wheel for a minute, realizing that even if I had extra motor oil on hand, I've no idea where it goes. Finding Your Authentic Path "Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light." ~ Theodore Roethke Why Idle Hands Create Stagnation in Our Lives You've probably heard the phrase, "Idle hands are the devil's tools" -- meaning if you don't have something to keep you busy, you are likely to get into trouble. That can be argued of course, since the intent to cause trouble probably has to be present also. Curing the Blues - 14 Feel-Good Ways to Get Out of the Dumps Everyone goes through that "in the blues" feeling once in awhile. The best cure is to be around people that you care about; family, friends; and keeping yourself busy enough to change your mind. Here are some "mood changers" to help you overcome those "down- in-the-dumps" feelings. Starting Over I worked hard for the past 17 years. I felt I had to. I only finished high school. Without a certificate to flaunt and yet wanting to climb the corporate ladder, I dedicated my effort and time to my work. I was proud of myself. At 40 years old I had reached a manager's position. Why You Dont Ned Motivation As a life coach, I often hear people say they lack motivation in fact, the "motivation discussion" is almost a ritual with my new clients. You really want something, in fact you almost need it, but you just don't have the drive to get to it. As a result, you blame yourself; you get stuck in your disappointment, your guilt, or your frustration further and further away from your goal. Get The Man Right One Saturday morning, a minister could not think of a sermon to write. He simply could not get inspired. He stared out of the window, at the birds splashing in the bird-bath. His mind was blank, as was the sheet of paper on his writing desk. Stained Glass Windows Elizabeth Kubler Ross once said, "People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun comes out, but when the darkness sets in, their beauty is revealed only if there is light on from within."

Violating Boundaries: Assert Yourself and Take Charge "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin A Turning Point 19 years ago, I was a young working mother at 28, independent and working for a prestigious company, until circumstances made me choose between family and career. After going through weighing my options, I chose to become a full-time Homemaker because I believed that family should come first if the situation would permit. Its My Blankey and Im Keeping It! "Blankey" as in Security Blankey. OK? All parents know what this is. Sometimes it's an actual "blankey", or it may be a pillow, a doll or some other favorite toy or scrap of material. It's the "thing" that provides a measure of security to developing young minds in a sometimes scary new world. It's the "thing" the little ones sleep with, eat with, and lug around until it becomes almost unrecognizable. God forbid that we should ever misplace our blankey. It would be absolutely impossible to live without it! Have You Said Thank You Today? 'When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.' --G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) English essayist, novelist, journalist, poet Turn your Dreaming into Doing The first of January and September, as well as our birthdays seem to be the times in a year when we focus on the gulf between where we are and where we would like to be.
