Self Motivation
Mastering the skill of SELF MOTIVATION
My definition of self motivation is:
The ability to motivate yourself. The ability to do it yourself without influence from another person. Being consistent without giving up.
All people should master this skill but few people have it.
Most people’s minds are sometimes tormented by negativity and anxiety. Everyone goes through bouts of doubt and depression, what keeps the motivated people motivated is the ability to keep moving forward.
I like to believe lack of confidence is a big issue in self motivation. If someone tells you that you are a loser, that repeats in your mind and you think “why bother”!
Instead of dwelling on the negative words or things that you’ve been told in the past, we should focus on the good we have done and past successes we’ve had.
The way to get your mind away from this negative thought pattern is to look on your strengths and current advantages. The more you think of these strengths and advantages, the more you are apt to bring them into your life.
Remember “Idle Time Is The Devils Playground”, meaning to me that dwelling on negative past failures makes them more visible in your everyday life and inflects negativity to your aura.
Another motivation hindrance is lack of focus. If you don’t know what it is you want to do, then how can you do anything? When you only think about what you want, you mind creates explanations for why you haven’t already got it. This starts a negative thought pattern. The old negative feelings start to creep back in and you think of all kinds of excuses why you can do things. You tend to make bad decisions and make up reasons not to succeed.
I believe fear is also a motivation killer. The fear that you will die, or you will lose someone close to you. The fear of losing that great job, or doing badly on an interview. The fear of not having enough money to pay the bills, or the thought of getting sick with no one to take care of you. Yes, fear and anxiety are
