10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 8

 

8. Keep Positive

Let events, big or small, or people, big or small, not negatively affect your attitude.  High achievers are unaffected by circumstances. High achievers are unaffected by circumstances. They are not deterred by people or events. They sacrifice, struggle and tirelessly pursue their goals—always maintaining a positive attitude about everything. Overcoming negative events is the recurring cost of achievement, the price of success.

Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of disappointments, misfortunes, or temporary defeats. The right attitude reveals the underlying opportunities. 

Approach all difficulties and setbacks as creative opportunities in disguise.  You can turn an apparent misfortune into a great fortune.  The most essential factor is your attitude—the positive mind-set never to allow your energy, enthusiasm or optimism to be diminished by the discouragements that will inevitably occur.


Remember, stay positive - better days are coming.

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 7

 

7. Believe In Yourself

Develop supreme confidence in yourself and in your abilities to achieve success.  Become very aware of your self-talk and ensure that everything you say to yourself, verbally or mentally, is a positive affirmation of yourself and your ability to achieve these goals.

You can do what you believe you can do, but you cannot do what you think you cannot do.  In order to succeed at anything, you must first believe you can accomplish it.  If you think you can win, you can win.  But you must have belief in yourself and in your abilities. 

A positive trait of success is to erase from your mind any negative thing that has happened to you up to this very minute.  Release the past.  Release the mistakes, blunders and disappointments.  Clean the slate of negative thoughts.  Remember that the past only exists in your mind, if you let it. 

Events in your life are influenced by your beliefs in yourself and by your great desires.  Your ardent desire and supreme confidence can mould the events that shape your future.  Your expectations can become your reality.  But first you must believe in yourself and in your future. 

Remember, whether you think you can, or whether you think you cannot, you're right!

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 6

 

6. Visualise

Mohammed Ali famously said: "If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it."

The first step to doing anything is to 'see' it in your mind's eye. Once that happens, you'll have started your journey, whether it's consciously or not in the beginning.

Utilise the awesome power of mental visualisation by picturing in your mind's eye the achievement of your goals. In your mind's eye, picture the person you will become and the goals you will achieve. 

Focus daily on this vision of your new self.  

Actually envision yourself achieving these goals, becoming the person you want to become, acquiring the possessions and being successful in all the important areas of your life.  Visualise things as they can be and what and who you will become. 

The events in your life mirror your thoughts. Picture yourself mentally achieving each of your goals. See them as accomplished. Visualise your success with great specificity. 

Program your mind to visualise your success as you go to sleep. And let your unconscious mind work to turn your visualisations into reality. 


Now go ahead, visualise your future, and have fun with it!

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 5

We're half way there! We're on step 5 of 10 on how to Supercharge Your Self Motivation. How are you finding it and which of the steps have implemented? Which is your most / least useful of the steps? Let me know - feedback is always interesting and it allows me an opportunity to coach you to overcome your stumbling blocks.

Listen to, Read and Review Your Goals

Record your written goals in your own voice play it to yourself every day.  At a prescribed time each day, like while driving to work or before going to bed, simply turn on the voice recorder, and listen to your voice affirming your goals. 

You will accept in your subconscious mind whatever you repeat to yourself often, whether the statement is true or not.  That's why it's really important to control your inner voice which is more than often not a negative or critical one.

Whatever goals and affirmations you plant in your subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and conviction will one day become a reality in your life.  

You are controlled by your thoughts.  

Begin each day by putting into your mind the thoughts that will guide you to your goals.  

Reprogram your mind so that your daily actions are the product of your carefully determined plans and goals. Live life by intention, not accident!

Put purpose and direction into your daily life first by carefully articulating on paper your goals and affirmations, and second, listening to them every day.

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 4

Excited to share step 4 to Supercharge Your Self Motivation.

4. Affirm Your Goals Daily

Affirm your goals each morning.  It is the repetition of your goals and affirmations that leads to subconscious belief.  And once your belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. Without failure, read aloud to yourself your abbreviated goals summary.  Implant in your subconscious mind through daily repetition exactly what you are going to accomplish and the goals you will achieve. 

This neurological reprogramming of your subconscious mind will provide you unlimited power, persistence and determination.  Start your day right by reviewing and affirming your goals daily.

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 3

Continuing our series of 10 steps to Supercharge Your Motivation, let's look at step 3...

3. Commit

Make an ironclad commitment to yourself to achieve your goals.  Make a solemn oath to yourself that you will achieve these goals and become the person you plan to become.  

You cannot be defeated if you develop an iron-willed determination to succeed and are committed to realise your goals.  If you are truly committed, whatever unforeseen obstacles you encounter in life won't really matter very much.  The lack of money, setbacks, or other circumstances may delay you, but if you desire something passionately and are committed, you will ultimately find a way to achieve it.

Your commitment to success must be so strong that you are consumed by the desire for success.  It should be your first thought when you awake in the morning and your last thought when you go to bed at night.  Develop the intense desire of a drowning person for a breath of air or a person lost in the desert for a drink of water. With this desire and commitment, you can accomplish anything.



Next step tomorrow, and in the meantime, how committed are you to yourself? Hit reply to send an email, or add your reply to the post if you're reading this on social media.

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 2

Following on from yesterday's first step to supercharging your motivation, which was to put your goals on paper, let's look at step 2.

2. Meet Your Deadlines

Develop a series of action steps and a written timetable for achieving each of your goals.  Set out a strategy of action steps and target dates for each of your short and intermediate term goals.

You can climb any mountain one disciplined step at a time.  And you can achieve any major goals you set for yourself by simply taking the tiny steps daily that are necessary.

Determine the essential daily action steps you must take to realise each of your goals.  Then set weekly and monthly target dates for the accomplishment of your goals.  Deadlines stimulate action. Strive to reach each deadline you set.

Treat each little step as a little goal. Break those steps down into doable chunks. When your steps are too big, that is what leads to overwhelm. In other words, and to use a well know acronym, KISS - Keep It Stupidly Simple!

10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 1

One of the most common questions I get asked, as a Success Coach, is "How can I motivate myself?"

When you're stuck, it's quite difficult to work it out. It's confusing and seems hard. But, there's hope...

As the New Year approaches, your motivation begins to stir - there's hope in the New Year, and the opportunity to start afresh. Hope by itself is not enough though, you must have a method.

I wrote a little article on this, and called it '10 Surefire Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation'.

Here's the first of those ten:

1. Put Your Goals on Paper

Articulate on paper the specific goals you wish to achieve in life, both long term and short term.  Be precise.  Laser like focus is the distinguishing characteristic of super-successful people.  Pinpoint exactly what you plan to achieve in all of the major areas of your life.

Remember that a tiny magnifying glass can ignite a huge firestorm by concentrating the rays of the sun on one spot, and that you can start your fire by concentrating all of your energies on one purpose.  You may know in your mind what you want to accomplish, but until you put it in writing, it is only a vague wish list.

It is critical that you take the time to articulate your goals on paper.

Only a tiny fraction of the population has written goals.  And only a tiny fraction of the people become truly successful.  Not surprisingly, they are generally the same group.  If you haven't set out on paper your important life's goals, do it now.


I'll share more tomorrow. In the meantime, please share how item 1 might help you. Hit reply to send an email, or add your reply to the post if you're reading this on social media.

Wealth Redefined: Find More Than Money in 2024 - Unlock the Door to your Personal Fulfillment!

Today, as we continue to look forward to 2024, it's time to talk about something we often whisper about but rarely tackle head-on – our wealth.

But hold on...

I'm not just talking about your bank balance or your investment portfolio.

I'm talking about a richer, deeper understanding of what wealth truly means.

You see, wealth isn't just about the figures in your account…

 It's about the value you place on your life and the joy you derive from it.

It's about finding richness in experiences, relationships, and personal growth.

But most importantly, it's about freedom…the freedom to make choices, to live life on your own terms.


But let's face it – navigating the waters of wealth can be tricky.

It's all to easy to get caught up in the numbers game, constantly chasing more without ever feeling truly 'wealthy'.

So, let me ask you this:

When you think about your wealth, does it bring you a sense of pride and contentment? 

Or does it feel like a never-ending race with no finish line in sight?

I've walked that path, chasing after wealth in its most superficial form.

And I've learned something vital – true wealth is about finding balance and contentment in all aspects of your life.

It's about creating a life where your financial success supports your personal happiness, not overshadows it.

Way back in 2014, I went through a personal storm which cost me everything - money, peace of mind, my sleep and lots more.

When I look back at that time now, I realise I wouldn't be who I am today had I not gone through those experiences.

The journey was more than enlightening; it was transformative.

It reshaped my understanding of what it means to be truly wealthy. And I'm here to share that journey with you.

I'm talking about redefining wealth on your terms.

It's about understanding that wealth isn't just about having, it's about being.

It's about aligning your financial goals with your personal values and finding joy in the balance.

This isn't just about financial planning or investment strategies.

This is about a holistic approach to wealth.

It's about building a relationship with money that's healthy, sustainable, and fulfilling.

And here's the exciting part: We’ll go through a conversation that’s so straightforward, it will feel like a breeze. Yet, it will be so impactful, you’ll discover your true aspirations – and these insights won’t just ‘move the needle’, they will set you free.

Are you ready to redefine your concept of wealth in 2024? 

Are you prepared to embrace a wealth that goes beyond the material and touches every part of your life?

Let's have a chat. I'm offering a no-strings-attached, 20-minute call to explore your financial landscape and how it integrates with your life's bigger picture. We'll look at what's working, what needs a shift, and where you can find true richness in your life.

This is your opportunity to redefine wealth and set the stage for a year where your financial success fuels your life's joy, not just your bank account.

Revolutionise Your Health This Year: Uncover the Path to True Happiness and Well-being!

As we step into 2024, it's time for a real talk about something we often sideline – our health.

But I'm not just referring to hitting the gym or eating greens.

I'm talking about a holistic view of health that intertwines with our happiness and well-being.

You see, health is more than just physical fitness or the absence of illness.

It's about feeling vibrant, energetic, and mentally sharp.

It's about waking up each day with a zest for life.

But let's be honest – achieving this level of health can feel like a distant dream.

So, let me ask you this:

When you think about your health, does it feel like a source of joy and vitality? 

Or does it feel like a constant struggle or an afterthought?

I've been on both sides of this coin.

I've felt the drain of neglecting my health and the exhilaration of nurturing it.

And here's what I've learned – your health is the bedrock of your happiness. Without it, everything else is on shaky ground.

Recently, people really close to me, around my age, have suffered devastating health issues. One of my closest childhood friends lost his fight for life just yesterday after a couple of really hard years fighting various illnesses. My late friend's illness and the other events made me embark on a journey to revolutionise my own health. It isn't just about getting fit; it is about transforming my entire well-being.

And the results? They already are nothing short of life-changing.

Now, I want to share this journey with you.

I'm talking about a health revolution that goes beyond the usual.

It's about tuning into your body and mind, understanding what they need, and giving them just that.

It's about creating a lifestyle where health and happiness dance together in harmony.

This isn't about quick fixes or fad diets.

This is about sustainable, enjoyable changes that make you feel alive. It's about finding the right balance that works uniquely for you.

And here's the best part: We’ll go through a conversation so simple, it will feel like a walk in the park. Yet, it will be so profound, you’ll uncover truths about your health that will not just ‘move the needle’, they will set you free.

Are you ready to revolutionise your health in 2024? 

Are you ready to embrace a lifestyle where happiness and well-being are at the forefront?

Let's talk. I'm offering a no-strings-attached, 20-minute call to dive into your health goals and challenges. We'll explore what's working, what's not, and how you can create a life brimming with energy and joy.

This is your chance to make health more than just a goal – to make it a joyful and fulfilling part of your life.

Transform Your Home Life in 2024… Discover the Secret to Lasting Contentment!

 As we edge closer to 2024, it's time to take a hard, honest look at where we call 'home'.

But I'm not just talking about the four walls and the roof.

I'm talking about what happens inside them – the laughter, the conversations, the silence, and yes, even the arguments.

You see, your home is more than just a place.

It's a feeling.

A sanctuary.

But let's be real – it can also be a battleground, a place of tension, or just a spot you pass through.

So, let me ask you this:

When you think about your home, does it fill you with a sense of peace and contentment?

Or does it feel like something's missing?

I've been there.

I've felt the disconnect between what my home was and what I wanted it to be.

And I've learned something crucial – contentment at home is the cornerstone of a happy life.

It's where every good day starts and every tough day finds comfort.

But here's the kicker – creating a home that truly reflects contentment isn't about the perfect décor or the trendiest gadgets.

It's about how you feel when you walk through that door. It's about the relationships that grow within those walls. It's about creating a space where you can be your truest self.

In late November 2020, I took a deep dive into my own sense of home.

What I found wasn't just eye-opening; it was life-changing.

It led to a radical shift in how I approach every aspect of my life.

And guess what?

It can do the same for you.

I'm talking about a journey to rediscover what 'home' really means to you.

It's about peeling back the layers of what you've been told your home should be and discovering what it could be.

This isn't your run-of-the-mill home makeover.

This is a heart and soul project.

It's about aligning your living space with your inner space.

It's about creating an environment where contentment isn't just a visitor, but a permanent resident.

And here's the best part: We’ll go through a conversation that’s so simple it will feel like child’s play.

Yet, it will be so profound, you’ll uncover your truths – and these truths won’t just ‘move the needle’, they will set you free.

So, are you ready to transform your home life?

Are you ready to turn your living space into a thriving space?

Let's chat.

I'm offering a no-strings-attached, 20-minute call to dive deep into your concept of home and how it aligns with your life's blueprint.

We'll explore what's working, what's not, and where there's room for a little magic.

This is your chance to make your home a true haven of happiness and contentment in 2024.

Click here to book your free session: https://bookme.name/yusratraining/lite/20-min-chat

Let's make your home more than just a place to stay.

Let's make it a place to live, love, and thrive.
