Motivation leading to Goal Realization

Motivation is inspiration to achieve. Motivation is an incentive that helps us to grow, learn, and develop without complications. It is our drive. Motivation is impulse that backs purpose and reason. To understand how motivation develops and how it applies to goal realization we can look at steps to gain motivation.

Steps in gaining motivation:
Step One: Make a promise to self. During the process, realize your goals, work to achieve the goals and analyze self. Of course, you want to use moderation while analyzing, since you want to develop willpower, self-discipline, purpose, and motivation.

Step two: Today you will learn to recognize and take control of your discomforts. Discomforts is what holds us back many times, thus today you are going to learn to relax with your discomforts. For instance, I don’t want to take this test now, gosh, I had other plans. Decide now what is important. Decide what the consequences of not facing your discomforts will bring. Decide how not facing your discomforts will hinder your abilities to achieve your goals. Now, face you discomforts and take the test. Realize that if you put off now what you could finish, tomorrow you are one-step behind on reaching your goals.

Think of time: I don’t want to sweep the floor now. I sweep the floor and find two minutes later, I am finished and the floor is clean. Think: I don’t want to take the test now, this is extreme, and if you dive in without wanting/desiring to take the test, you might just fail. Again, think of purpose and importance of the test.

Discomfort is a leading setback. Rather avoidance of facing discomforts can set you back. Therefore, learn to change the mind and body to conform to your discomforts. For example, I want to take the test now so that I have room to accomplish other things I have planned after the test is completed. As you talk, sit with your back straight in the chair, or stand. This poses confidence. Now consider the aspects of taking the test. What is it that nerves you or makes you lack in motivation. If you consider the aspects, you might find areas of the test that you lack confidence, thus you can study harder to achieve confidence to master the area of concern. In other words, possibly the test has math quizzes that nerves you. Thus, study harder to learn various types of mathematical problems. Alternatively, the discomfort could be the situation in which you are resting. If you feel discomfort in your position, thus rearrange your body so that it feels comfortable.

You can also talk to self to discuss how miserable the test makes you feel. Often when you self-talk, you will find that your discomforts were a state of mind that hindered you from progressing. In other words, each time we attempt to achieve in life some force seems to hold us back. If you self-talk, you will often find there was not an issue to begin with and that you just added burden to comfort.

Step Three: Sometimes you have to turn up the volume of pressure to achieve. In other words, your test is due tomorrow, thus move the date up to next week. This will apply pressure on you to finish the test immediately. Otherwise, you can turn down the volume of pressure and take smaller steps to complete the test.

Step Four: If you are feeling totally uncomfortable with the test and unclear as to what to do, thus you may ask for help or support. For instance, could you invite a few friends over to study and prepare for the test with you?
