Easy way to Motivate Yourself
March 12, 2007
How do you motivate yourself? What can you do when you need to get busy doing something and you just don’t feel like doing it? Of course there are dozens of motivation techniques. Some of the NLP techniques are quite powerful. The following is a simple, yet powerful technique that you can use today to generate energy and motivation.
Motivate Yourself By Talking
All of us have felt the surge of energy that comes from a conversation we are really interested in. You may have even stayed up talking all night at some points in your life, with little tiredness. It is partly the company of course, but the bigger part of that energy is from the topic itself. When you talk about something that is important or interesting to you, it wakes up your brain.
Not only does it wake up your brain, but it wakes up your body as well. You can easily demonstrate this to yourself. Write down a few things that you love to talk about. the more passionate you are about the topic, the better. Then, the next time you are feeling a little sluggish, break out the list and pick a topic. Find a willing listener and start talking. You’ll see how quickly it affects your mind and body.
This is no real surprise, is it? You have probably noticed how much more common it is to feel the energy you need when you are doing something you enjoy, even if that is just talking about your favorite topics. But how do you use this when you need to work on something that just doesn’t inspire you?
There are three ways. First, if you have any interest in the project at all, identify those areas that are most interesting to you. Then start telling someone about it. For example, Whenever i feel like writing on my blog, I call my friends or my collegues and tell them about the articles i am going to write, I get energized. Soon I have all the motivation and energy I need to get started.
Now what if there is nothing about the work at hand that you enjoy or are interested in? You still are doing it for a reason, right? So concentrate on that goal that this work leads towards, and talk about that until you fell yourself getting motivated. Then get to work! Starting is the hardest part - momentum helps you keep going after you start.
The third way to use this technique to motivate yourself is to forget about the work for a few minutes, and talk about whatever gets you most excited. Once you feel that surge in energy, you can start working. You are effectively transferring the motivation to the work at hand. Again , just starting is usually the hardest part. Why not test this technique today?
