This should keep you motivated

Hello lovers :) How’s the Friday going??

I read this on daily post, and thought to share it with you…Tell yourself, then tell a friend.

Motivation can be very hard to come by, especially in the face of challenges or difficult work. When you’re thinking about implementing that new idea, or starting that new company or beginning that new regimen – this is the new year, after all – it’s easy to talk yourself into procrastinating. Or worse, avoiding your goal altogether.

Thoughts are powerful and negative thoughts can prevent you from achieving your goals. The flip side is that positive thoughts can be just as powerful. The next time you feel unmotivated, use positive thoughts to re-energize yourself. Positive thoughts like telling yourself you can do anything!.

It’s a simple phrase, but it helps to remind yourself – you really can do anything you set your mind to.

You can do anything, then tell yourself ‘this is why I can’. Instead of giving yourself reasons why you can’t do something, give yourself reasons why you can, simply because ‘you deserve more’, you deserve a better life – whether that means a better job, a healthier body or more money. Work for it.

‘It’s never too late’. No matter how old you are, or how many opportunities you’ve passed up before, it’s never too late to make a decision and get a fresh start. Also know that ‘there will always be challenges’. No matter what you do in life, there will always be challenges – don’t let one set get the better of you.

‘There’s no “perfect” time.’ If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, forget about it – there’s no such thing. ‘There’s no “perfect” plan.’ There are some definite flaws in your plan – but there are in every plan. You know that ‘everybody starts somewhere,’ nobody is born successful. Everyone starts somewhere, and usually from the bottom.

Take it ‘one step at a time’. Don’t try to do everything at once, reduce it to baby steps. ‘It can only get better’. If it’s hard at first, it can only get easier. ‘Failure is temporary’,  if you fail, you’re in good company – most successes come only after several rounds of failure. ‘Mistakes are learning opportunities’, if you mess up, you can only become better for it.

For today, tell yourself ‘today is all I can control’, forget about what you did yesterday. Today is what matters. And ‘if it were easy, everyone would do it’. Nothing worth doing is easy. 

‘Someday is today.’ If you’re like most people, you use the word “someday” to describe your goals and desires. Make today that someday. Tell yourself ‘negative thoughts can’t stop me’, your negative thoughts are just thoughts – nothing more. ‘I’ve done harder things’, think back to a time when you succeeded against the odds. Know that ‘everything has to be earned', because you can’t get anything in this life unless you work hard for it.

‘Action is a better regret that inaction’, making the wrong decision is always preferable to regretting never having done anything at all. What next, ‘I don’t need anyone’s permission’. If people think you’re crazy, so be it!

Have a wonderful weekend #muah
