8 Sure-Fire Strategies for Getting Started

Starting can sometimes be half or more of the battle. It's kind of like how the anticipation phase of something can give us more stress and worry than the actual event. (well, ok, except for going to the Dentist!) Once you can break through your barriers and get started, you're almost home free. Here are some tips to help you get you going.

Things to Know About Enthusiasm

Motivation is easy when fueled by enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means you believe deeply in what your company is doing and you believe your job is important because it contributes to the cause.

Get Your Never-Ending Motivation Here!

People often ask me, "Ken, I can't seem to get motivated some times. How do you stay motivated every day, even when you don't feel like working, or when things aren't going so well?" The answer I give them can be the difference in YOU getting what you want out of life, or not. It is your answer, if you have low or inconsistent motivation. his will give you never-ending motivation to achieve the major things you want in life. This is the answer to those people's question, and to yours.

Why You Don't Need Motivation

We will not feel much motivation for a goal that is incongruent with our profound beliefs and thoughts -- as idyllic as this goal may be. Motivation isn't about toughness and strength -- it's about alignment. It's not necessarily about wanting something very badly ... but more about wanting something completely. When we lack motivation, some part of us is saying, "I don't want to reach that goal -- it doesn't serve me".

Fire Up Your Motivation

Here are some sources of motivation to prompt you in reaching the peak of accomplishment. Being with people who oppose your ways of thinking may trigger a negative, yet very powerful, kind of motivation. When aggravated, you will do anything to make those who are against you swallow their words. But of course, your main focus should be on the acccomplishment of your goal and not for the purpose of revenge. Never let your emotions toward others alter your main objective.

Keep Yourself Enthused

Almost all of us feel enthusiastic at the start of a new project. However, keeping the enthusiasm going over time is another issue, and is problematic for many people.

Wisdom Source G. Gurdjieff suggested that there are points in the progress of every project when energy fades unless there is an influx of external energy. Since we cannot be sure that we will receive an energy boost from outside ourselves at just the right time, here are some ways to prevent our enthusiasm from flagging.

Are You Going Where You Want to Go?

Acknowledge yourself for every effort you have made over the past 4 months, regardless of the outcome. For some, just getting through tough times was quite an accomplishment. Recognize and celebrate the ways you showed up for life, and congratulate yourself for all you have done.

Take time to fully experience the sense of accomplishment for each and every success, no matter how large or small. With renewed goals and revised action plans, you can increase momentum and excitement by frequently visualizing your success. You can even write out your own success story to help you stay committed and focused on your goals.

Anger Means Your Power is On!

When you feel lost and confused, it is easy to give your power to anyone who appears on your doorstep -- a coach, a counselor, even a good friend or relative. People in transition, who are seeking direction, are especially vulnerable to anyone who offers help.

The US government has developed programs to protect newly-bereaved citizens who are vulnerable to claims from funeral services. But if you have let your intuition lie dormant or you have responded passively to events around you, anger is a sign that you are getting your power back. You are turning on the juice.

Your intuition is beginning to overpower the wet blankets, the poison darts, and the well-meaning-but-misguided mentors. Recognize, welcome and manage your anger. You are almost certainly ready to take action and experience your own power once again.

What's Self Esteem Got to Do With It?

Self-esteem is described as how you think about yourself. You may have been brought up to caution how you express yourself to others. You temper how you think about yourself so that you don't "get out of line" or become arrogant or "too big for your britches."

But the fact is that by tempering yourself, you shrink yourself. And although others may not feel insecure around you if you are not any bigger or more expansive than them, the fact is that you do not get to experience all that there is of you. By being less than you are capable of being and doing for fear of being too big or too great, you are limiting yourself.

When you limit yourself, the result is that you are left with a sense that you could be so much more and the world loses out because you are not giving all that you have " to BEING YOU! The more "you" you are, the greater the impact you have on the world.

Great Ways To Stay Motivated At Work

Staying motivated at work is easier than you think when you know what to do. Motivation really is a question of strategy. When you know your personal motivation blueprint there is nothing you cannot do.

It is easy to get caught up with non-urgent matters that you can either ignore completely or do at a later date. All that clutter leaves you confused about what to do so you end up procrastinating. It is very motivating to have a highly specific game plan that challenges you without leaving you overwhelmed.

Aries Horoscope

A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.
