Self Motivation: What will success look like?
bythemethod | September 22, 2009Table of contents for Self-motivation
To get yourself motivated you need to have a clear picture of what success for you will look like. The clearer your picture the more motivated you will be. Without a picture you will find it hard to get motivated at all.
So take some time to think through what success will actually mean for you. The more detail you can put in the better. Think about the faces of the people that will be present. I don’t personally think that success is about possessions but if that is how you measure your success then get a good picture in your mind of the kinds of things that you will measure your success by.
Then start to think about the sounds and the smells and put them into your picture as well.
Some people have found it helpful to develop a scrapbook of pictures that illustrate the success they desire. Others have used a notice board and pinned images to it. You can even create a desktop picture for your computer (although if you are like me you seldom see your desktop picture).
The stronger the image, the better it will work.
You also need to spend time daydreaming about this picture. Make it a part of your everyday life.
If you are ever struggling with things then remember the picture and it will bring back lots of feelings of motivation.
