10 Motivation Tips
The following are 10 tips to help you achieve your goals. These ideas will help you set smart goals and improve your ability to achieve them. These tips were taken from” How to Keep New Year’s Resolutions” in the January 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping.
1. Exercise your will power. It is just like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Will to do small things daily. Then gradually increase to bigger goals.
2. Make your changes, one at a time. Sweeping change will exhaust your limited will power.
3. Break goals down into their basic behavioral modification parts. For example, break down a weight loss goal into 1. Don’t eat after 8:00PM. 2. Take the stairs at work. 3. Eat dinner from an 8 inch plate instead of a 12 inch one.
4. Lift your spirits. Doing things you enjoy boosts your ability to exercise self-control.
5. Keep your glucose levels up. The brain relies almost exclusively on it for energy.
This energy fuels the brain’s ability to maintain self-restraint. Furthermore, you should avoid tempting situations when you know your blood sugar is low.
6. Avoid absolute resolutions or goals. For example, don’t say, “I will never let my house get messy again.” Instead say, ” I will take 10 minutes before bedtime to straighten up each night.”
7. Remind yourself of past accomplishments. Write down a list of things you are proud you have achieved. Success begets success, and you will have a visual reminder of how much will power you really do have.
8. Do something nice for someone. When you do, you will feel personally empowered. This feeling makes it easier to stick with uncomfortable situations. In other words, you are better able to endure the difficulties along the way to your goal.
9. Use your senses. Put up pictures or other visual reminders of what you want to achieve. These visual cues build cravings for what is seen. The more intense your craving, the harder and stronger you will go for the goal.
10. Know when your resistance is tapped out. When (not if) it happens, get away from temptation
