Motivation is the most important aspect to achieve success in life. Motivation not only makes you feel good about what you are doing but also keeps you mentally and physically charged up. Motivation helps you to perform at your level best in all areas of life. Learn how to stay motivated in some easy steps listed below.
Positive attitude - Attitude determines your altitude. It's very hard to remain positive throughout the day you never know when you might come across a situation or a person who might affect your mood and you might fall prey to negativity. It's basically all in your mind and your mental attitude. It does not matter what happens to you but what really matters is your reaction to what happens to you. Either you can cry over your problems or be positive and devise a solution.
Listen to motivational speakers - This is the best form of getting your daily dose of motivation. Make it a habit to listen to any motivational audio at least once a day to keep you charged up. The more you listen to it the better you will feel and day by day you would notice that the problems do not seem like problems any more rather they seem like challenges now.
Stay in a positive environment - A man is known by the company he keeps. And same might apply to your moods and attitudes. It's very important to surround yourself with positive people and stay away from the negative ones. Some of you might have negative people in your family. The best thing to do in this situation is to either not involve yourself into heated conversations or just not let such a thing affect you.
Learn to walk - Yes that's right. When you feel negative due to a certain problem or just the circumstances start walking. Sitting at one place and thinking about a certain problem worsens your situation as your mind is focused on one thing and it can not think straight.
Make yourself happy - Try to keep yourself happy at all times of the day. Do things which excite you and make you feel good. If you feel down or depressed simply put on a beautiful piece of music and start dancing. You might think it's weird but it would seem weird at first. It can dramatically change your attitude and the world around you would seem different.
Life is all about changes and how well you adapt to the change. Therefore it's very essential to be a dynamic person and learn how to adapt right. Problems would not seem like problems if you treat them as challenges. You are the writer of your own destiny. So make it a point today to write your destiny for success.

Don't Let Fear Paralyze You

Have you read every well respected self-help successful book ever written? Do you have the absolute best advice on success but you secretly have not achieved it? Have you tried every MLM and internet marketing business but no one knows you have never made a substantial amount money? At least enough to "fire your boss" like you swore you would one day?
What kind of excuses do you tell yourself to explain why you have not achieved the success you know you deserve? Not enough time? No help with kids? Job too demanding? People in your area are not interested in a opportunity? Well, I am here to tell you that there may be one reason you are overlooking, maybe even on purpose. FEAR OF SUCCESS.
Yes, I dared to say it to you and I"ll say it again. FEAR OF SUCCESS. It is time to deal with it, maybe even conduct a personal survey to see if it suits you because some people are not aware. Some people (like myself) have this fear masked or hidden in a safe place so that they don't even have to face it. For that reason alone I urge you to read this article just in case. You never know, right?
First, there are some truth's that need to be exposed;
1. Fear is a normal part of every one's life. 2. Your belief system is the driving force behind how you react to fear. 3. Self sabotaging is fueled by fear
Fear is a normal part of everyone's life
Everyone experiences fear. Think of the bravest person you know, yup, they experience it as well. But there is difference from some who allows fear to control them and someone who decides to control fear intellectually. Moving forward in the face of fear requires faith. Accept that you deserve to achieve your dreams, accept them as you current reality. Replace the word fear with the word "anxious" I am anxious about speaking in front of people for the first time instead of "I am so scared!" The feeling of anxiousness brings about thoughts of excitement and adventure instead of feeling like you have to stand still or change course.
Your belief system is driving force behind how you react and what you belief about fear.
If your dreams are a destination, say Jamaica, then your pilot to get there is your belief system. You in the air, on track to this beautiful, exotic island that embodies everything you've ever wanted. All of sudden there is a bit of turbulence, it scares you, and all of sudden you can't see directly where you are going. You tell pilot to land, your pilot does as he is told. So here you are 10 minutes away from your destination and you are standing still. You find every excuse imaginable to keep him taking off. You don't feel confident. You might even ask the pilot to take off but to turn somewhere else. somewhere that is so far away from your intentions but visible, comfortable so to speak. He listens. You wake every day sad, depressed, irritated because you look out your window it is not what you want. It hurts. But not enough to change so you remain there as long as your believe system about stays where it is. Fear has paralyzed you. Your belief systems are commander and chief to you behavior, your behavior governs your results.
Self-sabotaging is a clue that you are fearing success
Self-sabotaging sounds really ugly but if you at a point in your life where you are ready to change, it can be the most effective self-manging tool you have. It can be that little voice that says "Hey, your doing it again!! Stop It!" If you are on the verge of success, things are looking great, here are some behavior you need to recognize within yourself that are sign of self sabotaging:
-Procrastination
-Disorganization
-Rebelliousness/Anger
-Busyness w/o Productivity & Focus
-Perfectionism/Overpleaser
All these behaviors are servants to some self limiting negative beliefs. If you are saying that you want all these wonderful things out of life but honestly do not believe that you can achieve them, your behavior will GREATLY contrast your wants:
Want: I want to be in a loving relationship Behavior: You decide at the last minute to work overtime instead
Want: I want less stress in my life so I can do more fun things Behavior: You take on more commitments and refuse to say "no"
Want: I want to build a successful MLM organization in the next 30 days Behavior: You spend HOURS filing papers, coming up with new spreadsheets to organize and keep track of the actions you are not actually doing to meet that goal.
When you are expressing these behaviors, stop and move forward!! It will feel awkward because the urge to delay will be dominate. Pay attention when you are searching for reasons like "I want do something for myself today but so and so ask me to do this project, didn't they help me one time when I really needed it? I sure don't want to feel bad if I disappoint them..." Learn your mental thought process every time you are straying away from your goals.
When I began to conquer my fear, I affirmed it every day. One day when I was having a hard time, procrastinating as usual, I affirmed well over 100 times. I closed my eyes, repeated very slowly while visualizing me moving forward to my goal with my head up and determination in my eyes, fixated on Jamaica. When I was finished I got up to attend a workshop entitled "Conquering Your Destiny" that I was personally invited to by my mentor. I had been trying hard to think of a reason not to go. During the workshop, my mentor gave away books randomly and I raised my hand. She looked right at me and said "Come get this April!" The title? "Conquering your Fear" by Lisa Jimenez. She is the true source of this article. Changed my Life. If you are someone you know are on the road to success but fear is holding you hostage, I would recommend this book. Good Luck and I wish everyone as much success as the sky can hold!
