2. What is Motivation?
● Knowing what motivation is, and the easiest
ways to get motivated, will help you in getting
motivated for any task, whether its temporary or
permanent.
● What Is It? Motivation is the willingness to
complete a task.
3. Motivating Yourself
● Motivation is a common thread in sports, dream pursuing, and exercising, as
most of the times we find ourselves avoiding certain tasks because they are
difficult or an inconvenience.
● While this may be fine for some people, many of us will find that bettering
ourselves, both physically and mentally, requires some sort of motivation.
● Completing high school? Motivation. Getting a job? Motivation.
● Almost everything you do, that forces you to work hard on both yourself and
your surrounding area, is down to motivating yourself.
4. Motivation: How to Get it
● The great thing about motivation, is it doesn't require a sudden, drastic improvement in
yourself, it’s more to do with taking baby steps towards whatever goal you set forth.
● Are you looking for that promotion at your job? While it will require some motivation to
push past your current job status, it doesn't require you to over-work yourself.
● Take small steps… For example you could make sure the tasks that you are required to
complete at your job are not only completed, but completed in a quicker time than your
usual completion rate.
● What follows are “Three Simple Ways to Boost Your Motivation Instantly!...”
5. 1. The Why?
● Ask yourself, “Why is this goal important to
me?”
● You can then repeat the question on that
answer to reveal more of your motivating
values such as; a sense of freedom,
satisfaction, excitement, fulfilment etc.
6. 2. Movie Music
● A) Think of the activity you want to get motivated about.
● B) Think of some motivating music. (eg Military
marching music, dance music, rock music...)
● C) Now over there on a movie screen you can see
yourself doing the activity and you can hear the
motivating music loud and clear.
● D) Step into the scene and imagine doing the activity
whilst hearing the music inside your mind. Is the music
you selected motivating you?
7. 3. Physiology Change
● A) Remember a time you were really motivated
to do something and notice what your posture
was like at the time. How were you standing,
what was your head position, how did you
breath, what was your pulse rate like etc?
● B) Now shift into this posture and feel the
difference whilst thinking about the thing you
want to get motivated about.
8. Inspired Motivation
● It’s also useful to be motivated with the inspiration of others. Find a
role model to be inspired by, whether it be a family member, a
famous actor, or a business guru.
● Their story of inspiration can make you believe it is possible to
achieve a goal. Daily contemplation on the achievement of your goal
will keep it fresh in your mind.
● Don't set a goal that is too difficult, but have a goal that stretches
you. The most challenging of goals, while they may be more difficult
to complete, are usually the most rewarding and satisfying to us.
