Get Motivated Like Never Before
Do you find yourself having a worthwhile
goal, work on it for a while, and then see no
change? Do you try again and still see no
real results? Have you contemplated giving
up or simply settling? If you're heading in
that direction, there may be some hope for
you
.
You don't have to lose your motivation and
abandon your goals even though you think
you've failed, because you actually didn't fail
yet. Failure comes when you decide not to
do anything about that goal. Failure is not
being stuck in your current situation, but
giving up any attempt to make visible
progress to hold on to
.
2. It means, there will be times when you have
to do some things even if you don't feel like
it. If you're anybody like John or Linda,
here's an action plan that you could put into
practice to get unstuck
:
1
.
Make a deliberate choice to do whatever
it takes to reach the goal
.
Have a commitment that you won't settle
for less. This is a mind activity
.
2
.
Create a clear plan on the steps that you
need to do
.
Linda may need to firmly decide on the
business she wants to create, then she
needs to list down all the steps necessary
to start it. She must be consistent to
implement his plan and take action
everyday. Likewise for John, he needs to be
3. consistent with his workout program and
make it a part of his regular routine. He
needs to stick with it every day, and he
needs to have a plan for a healthy diet as
well. It might be useful to make a specific
list of everything that you need to do. Check
your list regularly. Make sure that you follow
the list

4. Do you find yourself having a worthwhile

change? Do you try again and still see no

up or simply settling? If you're heading in

Did you know that, according to Forbes,
5. only 8% of those who make New Year's
resolutions achieve their goals? That's part
of the reason so many studies have been
done on how the human brain functions.
Why the brain? What does it have to do with
reaching our goals
?
Having the feeling of being stuck is a mind
problem. It's not a physical disability issue,
it's not the lack of talent or competence --
it's your mind's interpretation of events. It's
the mind telling the body that it should not
go somewhere or do something new, as it
won't work anyway. It's the captain
commanding his crew not to make any
significant changes because it would be a
waste of time
.
6. Do these thoughts sound familiar? Imagine
John and Linda both being motivated to
take action on something they wanted to
change, but then they stop working towards
their goal. Linda wants to start a new
business, and John wants to lose weight,
but they started focusing their thoughts on
their current reality and concluded that
what they were doing wouldn’t work. They
lost motivation. As such, they feel stuck
.
What they missed is that they could have
dedicated their time, effort and resources to
find a solution to their problems. They can
make a decision to fix what isn't working, if
they know from the start that they have the
POWER to change their situation
.
7. They are only feeling stuck because in their
minds, they forgot about their true power to
make decisions. They feel that the lack of
results paralyzes them from taking the next
action. The truth is, nothing can stop them.
Nothing can keep them from moving
forward. They CAN try again
.
Sometimes, goals take more time than
expected before you see some results.
That's why you need to have a good process
for motivating yourself, especially if you're
pursuing life-changing goals. Motivation is
not only about putting the right thoughts in
your mind. It's also about a series of
actions you can do so that the right
thoughts will stay in your mind
.
8. It means, there will be times when you have
to do some things even if you don't feel like
it. If you're anybody like John or Linda,
here's an action plan that you could put into
practice to get unstuck
:
1
.
Make a deliberate choice to do whatever
it takes to reach the goal
.
Have a commitment that you won't settle
for less. This is a mind activity. You need to
be convinced that you will go for that goal.
To make this decision really sink in, you can
make a contract on paper. Put your specific
goal and timeline on it. Sign it and ask
somebody close to you to sign as a
witness. This is optional, however it could
help you in a powerful way if you ever get
stuck again. Reading a written note
9. refreshes our memory to the commitments
we have. The contract should encourage
you to get back on track
.

Create a clear plan on the steps that you
need to do
.
Linda may need to firmly decide on the
business she wants to create, then she
needs to list down all the steps necessary
to start it. She must be consistent to
implement his plan and take action
everyday. Likewise for John, he needs to be
consistent with his workout program and
make it a part of his regular routine. He
needs to stick with it every day, and he
needs to have a plan for a healthy diet as
well. It might be useful to make a specific
list of everything that you need to do. Check
10. your list regularly. Make sure that you follow
the list
.

Find an accountability partner
.
Make yourself accountable to your goals
with someone you respect and trust. It
could be your family member, friend,
mentor, classmate or co-worker. By letting
them know about what you want to achieve,
they can check in with you from time to
time. If you're stuck, they can be your
confidant. They can be a source of
motivation where you can draw fresh
inspirations to move forward
.

.
Just do what you say you will do
.
Even if you don't feel like it, let your body
work on that goal. Take action on your list,
11. without the feelings. Keep on keeping on. If
you don't focus too much only on your
feelings, but instead keep moving you will
get results. Soon you'll be back to making
real progress
.

.
Focus on success
.
Learn how to focus aggressively! Reduce or
totally remove your distractions. If you find
yourself thinking negatively about your
situation, do something to change how you
think. Try things like listening to motivating
podcasts, or reading encouraging articles.
Linda could find success stories about
people who started a business online. John
could join groups who talk about success.
Put yourself in an environment full of
optimism. Soon enough, the goal is yours
