How does one motivate oneself?

Question

What do you do to motivate yourself to think that you can do it !? What can I do to think that I can do whatever it is!!!!?

Answer 1

People have 2 fears.... fear of failure or fear of success. Either way, fear is what is paralyzing you from the motivation of doing anything.

Surrender your fear. Life is short.... and that should be motivation to be all that you want to be in your life and how you show up in it.

Sometimes people are motivated and driven by fear, but I think motivation should come from within. No one can make you do anything you don't want to do.... or not motivated to do.

Picture your goals/dreams - things you want to achieve and just go for it. You honestly have nothing to fear.... even if you don't achieve what you expect. The fact is you try... and no one ever said that anyone who ever tried.... is a failure, only those who fail to try!

Get off your butt - get out there -----do whatever it is you are wanting to do.

Answer 2

Well, it could aid to understand, what you desire to inspire your self for. But what often works for me is to have one transparent and exact target. It is main to select a target that's round the corner at some point, however as a substitute a smaller one, that's particularly handy to attain or wherein you are going to see the outcome of your paintings in foreseable long run. So as a substitute than looking to inspire your self with a ten - 12 months plan, I'd say divide and triumph over. (retaining the ten 12 months plan at the back of your brain of path ;-) ) Else, if you're worn out and exhausted and simply in a "do not wanna" temper, deliver your self a while, an quantity which you'll have enough money to take off, anddon't feel approximately your tasks, simply loosen up or do whatever a laugh, that fills your vigour tanks up. Sometimes taking break day isn't a waste of time, however as a substitute a well research. If all that is too summary for you, discover a track, that tickles your vigour stage or raises your will to combat (while I'm lazy to do any physical games or exercise, I pay attention to "eye of the tiger" , I comprehend it's tacky however works generally) So cross get'em tiger!

Answer 3

Just start it.
When my mother died last year I had the wonderful job of cleaning out her house and she was a pack-rat. I would go over there and just sit there and wonder where to start.
Then I went to the farthest corner closet and just did it. It took all summer to get the whole job done.
You just have to sit down, make a short plan, say I have to do this, and get started.
Before that she suffered from a stroke for 9 years and guess who had to go and take care of her all the time. Talk about a lot of positive self motivation! Everyday I had to talk myself into going over there 3 times. It got really hard but I made it through and in the end I am very glad I did.

Answer 4

You are the only one holding yourself back. You must believe in yourself and go for it. If things don't work out the way you want them to, chalk it up to experience and try again. Anything worth having takes work and stepping outside of our comfort zone. Make a list of your good traits/characteristics and you will see how much you have going for you. Look towards your goal and think about how badly you want to reach it. That should motivate you to keep trying and never give up on your goals and dreams. If you want something badly enough keep at it and you will get there!

Answer 5

Motivation differs from "Drive" in that a "Drive" is biologically related and originates from "within ous" for example the "thirst drive", "hunger drive", "sex drive". By contrast "Motivation" is something that originates or exist's "outside of us". I do not believe we motivate "ourselves", I do believe that "Something" or "Someone" motivates us, for example; we see a new car that we want, so we are motivated to get up early in the morning and go to work or work two jobs. We want to become a Doctor, Lawyer, or Engineer, so we are motivated to spend years in college study long hours to achieve a desired goal. As for me personally? what motivates me are people. I have three sons so I am motivated to be a good daddy to them by being responsible. Sexy Girls motivate me, sexy girls motivate me to be the best possible man I can be; WHY? because I want to win and earn their love and affection. Thank you for a very critical question and thank you for allowing me to respond!

Answer 6

think or live by an example of someone who has done something similar to what you did and know they are just like you so you can do it as well. maybe look at yourself (really look at yourself) and not want to be where you are or like you are now later in your life use both positive and negetive to motivate you.
