HealthyCareTips -Easy Steps To Motivate Your Life




                             What is Motivation?
When we ask you what motivation is, the answer generally we get is “Strength”, “Positivity”, and “Belief”, “Optimism” etc. Actually, Motivation is the combination of all the above.
Stephen P. Robbins has said, “Motivation is the willingness to exert high levels of efforts toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort ability to satisfy some individual need”.
In short, motivation is the drive that keeps us going towards a particular goal.
SELF-MOTIVATION:
We all would have heard the famous saying that we can only take a horse to the pond, but we cannot make it drink the water! That’s where the concept of self-motivation is applied. Unless the horse really wants to drink the water, it will not drink.
Self-motivation is the most important and difficult feeling to achieve. But once one realizes the importance of being self-motivated, no one can beat him! One must clearly understand that he has to push himself towards his goal because no one else can  actually going  do it for him.
SO HOW DO WE GET MOTIVATED?
You will find numerous books that talk about getting you motivated. Some offer paid seminars and workshops on “How to stay motivated”. While some offer all such events absolutely free of cost. In fact, Motivation is an important topic in Marketing Management and Human Resource Management in MBA programs. But do they really work, that’s the BIG question here. As already quoted, motivation is the drive that keeps you going. So unless one is really determined to do something, he cannot do it. The force that brings that feeling in you is motivation! So let’s just clear our heads of all the clutter and negativity, and pay undivided attention to what we are trying to say.
There are numerous ways to get motivated in life. We shall go through some of them as we move on.
  1. The End Benefit:
    “What is in it for me?” This is one of the best ways to get motivated, and stay motivated. It can be a monetary benefit, or a material benefit, or a sense of self-actualization, or just a feeling of having accomplished something!
  1. Measurable and Tangible Goals:
    Who will not accept that when you see something getting shape before you when you have started from scratch, it gives you a great feeling! It is more like seeing your baby grow! When you make measurable goals, like losing 2kgs a week and achieving them  gets you  even more motivated.
  1. Short- Term Goals:
    There are people who believe that once a larger goal is achieved, there is nothing more left to feel good about! So if you just divide your ultimate goal into short-term goals and keep achieving them one by one, your motivation keeps going. That spark never fades.

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?

You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you.  What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't ...
