Motivate yourself: 5 easy steps
To achieve high level success, you need to
have an action plan. Having an action plan alone is not enough. You also need
to follow through your action plans with actions. There is no point having an
action plan that is just lying around if you don’t plan to do anything about
it. So here are 5 tips on how to motivate yourself to achieve your goals.
Firstly, set out specific goals you want to
achieve. For example, set out a specific timeline for the development of your
career. For instance, by the age of 30, I would like to be in this position and
earn so and so salary.
The next step is you have to commit
yourself to achieving that goal. It may mean putting in the extra hours or
working extra hard. It may also mean signing up for new classes to pick up new
skills necessary to achieve your goal.
Then, you also have to remember not to
compare yourself with others. This can really affect your motivation. There
will always be other people ahead of you. So you need to focus on yourself.
Focus on improving yourself too. Then you could also review yourself. Compare
yourself now with “the you” in the past. It will be such a great boost for
yourself and a great motivation when you see how much you have improved.
You also need to get out of your comfort
zone. You need to face challenges. Stop doing stuff that is routine to you. Try
overcoming your fears. If you don’t step out of your comfort zone, you will
never be able to achieve the success you want. If you are not stepping out because
you are afraid of failure, start thinking of failure as feedback to improve
yourself.
Next, positive support is always important.
Remember to tell your friends and family about your goals and what you are
going do to achieve them. So when you are feeling demotivated, your friends and
family will be there to pick you up and motivate you again.
Lastly, remember to make every day count.
Do something every single day to take a step towards achieving your goal!
