Having self motivation is important since you can not always depend upon others to be there to motivate you.

1. WAYS TO SUCCESSFULLY MOTIVATE
YOURSELF
Nicole D Price

2.  Learning how to motivate yourself is an asset that
will serve you well throughout every aspect of your
life. It is unrealistic to depend upon others to supply
you with the drive you will need to accomplish great
things in your life. Self-motivation is something that
can be learned if you do not already have it and can
also be reinforced if it tends to weaken. Having a
lack of motivation is the single biggest reason why
many do not achieve their goals resulting in a
feeling of emptiness.

3.  There do exist ways to ensure that you do not suffer
the same fate many do when they fail to reach
goals they have set for themselves.
 Here are 5 simple techniques by Nicole D Price
you can use to help maintain your self-motivation
so that you can consistently accomplish any
objectives you set for yourself.

4. REMEMBER YOUR REASONS
 It is important to continually remind yourself as to
why it is you are pursuing any particular goal or
objective. This is especially true with goals that may
take longer to achieve than others. It is normal to
lose motivation after investing a lot of effort and not
seeing the desired results. Reminding yourself of
the benefits 'reinvigorates' your motivation so that
you can continue to move closer to accomplishing
your objectives.

5. DAILY INSPIRATION
 Periodic reinforcement of the success of others is
an effective way to strengthen your self-motivation.
Knowing that others have endured the same or
similar challenges and succeeded is both
inspirational and proof that it can be done.

6. ASSOCIATE WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
 Nicole D Price says surrounding yourself with like-
minded people or those who at least are supportive
of your actions will help you to maintain your
motivation. Having a source of support and
encouragement can help you through times of
frustration and can also offer insight that may be
helpful.

7. MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS
 Chart your progress and especially if you expect
that your efforts will take a long time before you see
any results. By doing this you can seek and find
encouragement as you see progress being made.
Nothing will zap your motivation quicker than
realizing your efforts are getting you nowhere.

8. LEARN FROM SET BACKS
 Expect setbacks and mistakes to occur so that
when they do you can identify what went 'wrong' so
that it does not happen again. Every mistake should
teach you something of value if you are observant
and this will make you better at what it is you are
trying to accomplish. This feeling of 'empowerment'
is a great source of confidence and self-motivation.

9.  When you learn how to motivate yourself you no
longer fear those unexpected obstacles life often
presents that may not allow you to reach goals you
have set. Self-motivation is a very empowering
feeling since you do not have to rely upon others to
maintain your ambition.

10.  Having the ability to call upon your own 'inner
means' to either overcome a lack of motivation or to
strengthen what you already have is a liberating
sensation. The 5 techniques discussed above will
help you maintain your self-motivation for whatever
reasons you may have. The result will be more
successes and fewer failures making for a happier
and fuller life for you.
