Get Motivated for Springtime

It’s official, motivation is the biggest tool in the science of self achievement.

Whether in business or personal life, motivation can literally make the difference between success and failure.

Research reveals winter months as the hardest to keep energy stocks high, whilst the onset of spring proves hands down to be the best season to get up and get moving again.

In short, to get motivated!

X-Factor

Whether we call it buzz, get-up-and-go, pizzazz, oomph, or just being excited about life, it’s plain that without that “x factor” energy whatever we want to achieve just gets tougher.

Using the natural boost spring brings with it offers the best opportunity to create a plan that will succeed. We’re talking “best case scenario here” – dream, and dream big!

Whilst out-and-about promoting my new book, “Get Motivated – 7 Steps to the Life You Want” I’ve heard so many more personal accounts of how harnessing motivation has transformed people’s lives, so much so that now I’m even more convinced motivation is “the secret ingredient” that will enable us to achieve the life we want.

Success Formula

Lou Holtz, the famous American College Football Coach, says, “Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. Marry the three together and you’ve got success.”

5 Sure Fire Tips to Boost your Motivation

1. Take action NOW!!

You may be reading this article right now, but what if I asked you to look away and take some action right away what would you do?

Because that’s it; so many times we read “How To” books, get really revved up and motivated to succeed then do absolutely nothing. And guess what happens to that motivation then? That’s right through the floor. Please don’t let that happen to you, don’t leave it until tomorrow; do it, take action now!

2. Decide what you want

If you know already what you want, fabulous. But even if you don’t, do something, anything right at this moment that will improve your lot.

Whatever it is, do not sleep tonight (and I want you to sleep at the usual time) until you’ve taken some action; called someone, made an application, committed yourself in some way to following through.

3. Write it down

There’s nothing as enlightening as reading a compelling story, especially when it’s your own!

Begin by writing down what you perceive as success, your ideal life, the absolute best case scenario. When you’re developing a new plan there’s no point in chopping it down to size even before you’ve begun. As Fiona has said many, many time, “dream, and dream big.” Begin writing yours today.

4. Support your dream

Look for evidence to underpin your vision. What are you good at? What special attributes do you bring to the world?

How will achieving what you want enhance your life and that of those around you? And why do you deserve it? This is always a big one, because here we sometimes start to falter. Don’t! Accept the basic belief that we are all here to be the best we can be, live the best life we can create, and be as happy and healthy as absolutely possible.

5. Celebrate success

Make playing small a thing of the past. Decide to make being and feeling good a part of your character, and share it with everybody.

I’m not saying become insufferable, but self assured, proactive, confident in the new you imagine you have that knowing Mona Lisa smile; “I know something you don’t know.” Celebrate life, beginning now.
