THE BEST KIND OF MOTIVATION IS SELF-MOTIVATION.
Here's ten steps to take to become more self-motivated.
- Discipline yourself to do your best work when no one is looking.
- Set goals for yourself and track your progress. Hold yourself accountable to the goals.
- Read books on a regular basis to improve yourself.
- Get in your sweet spot. It's hard to get motivated about something you don't enjoy doing.
- Remember the best way to get approval is to not need it. Let your approval come from within.
- Step out and do what you are afraid to do.
- Have a "leaders are always in school" mentality.
- See challenges as opportunities instead of obstacles.
- Know what energizes you. Keep notes on when your motivation is lacking and when you feel like you can conquer the world!
- Push back negative thoughts. Fill your mind with Scriptures like "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
