Motivation / / December 19, 2019
Usually you are reading an article or book, motivating, inspiring, and some days do exactly what it says, but then forget until the next inspirational books. This post is for those who are tired of the ephemeral and short-lived motivation and want practical tips that really work.
Given the number of articles and books that call to become better, the concept of "self-improvement" itself synonymous with something short-lived and futile. And maybe even harmful, because of all this information begins to seem that people can be improved, simply by reading articles and buying motivational books.
Here are five practical tips on how to motivate yourself and get better without new books and articles.
1. Pan the goals under his real life, not the other way around
It is clear that when you are thinking about goals, I want to set the bar higher. It is nice to see on paper, but difficult to implement. Therefore, the high end so often remain unfulfilled.
So do not overestimate your strength and put realistic goals that relate to your present life. For example, if you have three small baby, is unlikely to succeed to find six hours a day for writing a novel.
Be realistic and put small goals. You will be much easier to reach them, and pleased to see that you are slowly approaching his dream.
To determine how much free time you have and how much you can actually spend on something to do, try to plan your day on the clock on the calendar.
2. Set personal standards
In society, there will always be people who will say that you are doing too much. You also always compare yourself with other people, and if their background, you really do a lot, it can slow down your development.
It is not necessary to look at other, otherwise you will live as they are, not as you want. It is important to acquire a clear understanding of what you want to achieve, and build your life in accordance with your goals, not with what people say.
What do you care about a colleague who says that you do not feel sorry for myself and a lot of work, if your goal - to get a promotion until the end of the year? Will you listen to a friend who says that you are too often lost in the gym, if you must grow thin 5kg by next summer?
3. Do not look back
If you ever played sports for a long time, you know how bad stagnate and do less of what is capable.
Item number 1 is important because small goals easier to achieve, gradually increasing the load.
Start with small tasks, do them no matter what, and gradually increase the load. Consistent implementation of better single sharp bursts of activity, both in the gym and in any other field.
4. Do for someone close
If you can not achieve goals for yourself, try to do it for someone close. Become better at something to please your loved ones. This does not mean that you earn their love, as you express your most.
Recall the Jack London novel "Martin Eden". He is the main character could change, if not in love with Ruth and decided for her to be different? Love gave him an iron will, and he has changed beyond recognition, overcame the cultural divide and become a level above his beloved (we will not remember the sad end).
Just do not confuse the achievement of the objectives for someone and achieving goals that imposed on you by someone. It is not necessary to go on about other people, even the closest, if they try to impose their vision of you.
5. Love and forgive myself
Guilt, shame, and regret - this is the most terrible and bad feelings that can end the day. Some people even wake up with a sense of loathing.
If you too often experience similar feelings, think about this: you have to live with it is still very, very long time. You are unique with its own set of skills and talents and all the skills and qualities that you are missing, it can be developed.
Do everything as best as you can, and remember that a little - it's better than nothing.
Every day - this is your new chance to do better and achieve their goals. Everyday.
