9 Great Ways To Change Your Life By Changing Your Motivation Style

 

If you are not as productive as you'd like or tend to procrastinate, you can become motivated by changing your personal style. The trick lies in making the activities you put off more interesting, easier, and less unpleasant.

One way to make a job easier is to break it into smaller jobs. If your task is to file your income tax return, you may view it as time consuming and tedious.

But if you break it into smaller categories such as gather records, download tax software, and prepare a rough draft, the tasks don't seem as difficult and you are likely to complete them in considerably less time.

Some other ways to make those undesirable jobs seem more bearable are to prioritise, use self-discipline, and reward yourself for small accomplishments...

Try to do the least desirable tasks early in the day so you'll look forward to having the rest of the day to concentrate on more pleasant jobs.

Keep in mind that self-discipline is something you do for yourself, not to punish yourself. Make a schedule and stick to it. Don't forget to reward yourself for each step you take in overcoming procrastination.

Positive reinforcement goes a long way in changing negative behaviours.

Here are a few more suggestions as to how you can get motivated and quit procrastinating...

1. Tasks will seem less daunting if you break them into several steps over a few days or weeks. Don't expect yourself to do everything all at once.

2. Don't worry about doing the job perfectly. Once you quit procrastinating, you'll have more time to go back and perfect each particular task. Allowing yourself adequate time to finish a task will give you more time for corrections later.

3. Find a supportive co-worker or friend to help motivate you to get moving.

4. Don't schedule important tasks at a time of day when your energy is low.

5. Reward yourself for reaching critical points in your least favourite jobs. Having something to look forward to is a great motivator.

6. Put the most difficult tasks at the top of your list and work from there.

7. All times of day are not equal. If you are a morning person, then tackle the most difficult tasks when you are at your best earlier in the day.

Reserve your most demanding activities for the time when your energy is at its highest. Save the small jobs that require little thought for the time of day when you are at your lowest productivity level.

Accomplish your tasks efficiently and you will see an improvement in your time management and motivational skills.

8. Start yourself down the road to success by setting clear, attainable goals. Break tasks into smaller pieces so they will seem less difficult. Get organized and prioritise your activities from most important to least important.

Eliminating the harder tasks will leave you feeling good about your work and motivate you to continue.

9. Keep focused on the end result instead of concentrating on how hard it will be to break your old habits. Having a light at the end of the tunnel will make your efforts seem worthwhile and the reward waiting for you will keep you motivated to achieve your goals.

Procrastination is unproductive and can even be harmful to your well being if allowed to get out of control. Stop making excuses, organize your thoughts and tasks, and be on your way to get your life under control and get motivated!

Mental Training

 

1. Maintain the focus of where you want to go.
This is similar to consistency, but with an added dimension. When you are truly focused towards your goals, you are moving to receive it through mental, behavioural and attitudinal dispositions. True focus requires all 3, and not one or the other. You cannot say you are going to do this and that, but then sit around for 2 days and do none of it out of laziness. The focus must always be there, and it will be kept when you take steps to protect it. This protection is in the form of not "chopping and changing" the way that you do things, and instead, through making consistent and decisive action.
2. Adapt your schedule to your lifestyle.
This will give you the time and the drive to get things done. It will give you time, because you are training your mental faculties at a time and place at your watch, and you are following the mental programs which suit you. Mental programs are flexible, so being flexible as to how you apply it will help to ensure that your mind increases in its mental flexibility and strength too.
3. Set up a journal of your training schedule.
When you sit up a journal, you are setting up a plan. When there is a plan, there is a direction and goal to which you are aiming to achieve. If the plan proves to be unrealistic, don't automatically bin it. Instead, adapt and continue to modify your journal, until it is an exact fit to the type of training schedule you want.
4. Be consistent in your schedule.
When you make consistent effort, you will get consistent results and move yourself upwards to higher levels of understanding consistently. When consistency is broken, so to if everything else that it brings. Not only will your progress halt, but you will feel lazy and almost indifferent towards your training. This is the worst state to be in, so a good way to avoid it is to always be in constant physical movement, and wary of maintaining focus towards mental accomplishment.
5. Make sure you take breaks between training sessions.
This might seem totally obvious, but I am always surprised by how many people seem to go training on and on without taking any breaks to help themselves recover. When you take a break, you are allowing your mind to catch up with you. It also allows you to look back at what you've done to assess your progress.
6. Make sure you are in a calm place in which you will not be disturbed.
Again, another no brainier, but important to stress nevertheless. If you fail to keep yourself calm, you are effectively allowing constant distractions to take a hold of you and further you from your goals.
7. Be sure not to overstrain.
here are loads of techniques one could use to boost their mental abilities, but the fundamentals to make sure you make good progress lies in solid training coupled with solid recovery. Mental training is actually pretty gruelling and tiring for your mind, even if it doesn't feel that way. This means that both subtle and dramatic drops in mental performance can be a result of adequate or overstraining. It is therefore crucial that you take days off training to ensure that you recover correctly. This can be 1-2 days off max per week.

8. Use a GeniusIntelligence Brain Harmonics product.
This is an excellent way to help you achieve the correct state of mind to help towards your goals. Your brainwave state has a profound impact on your ability to think and act in situations, and therefore achieving the correct mental balance internally is an easy way to put you into the right mental and behavioural frame of mind.
What To Expect
When you decide to take the right steps and move towards your goals with a decisive training plan, the momentum will eventually gather and make your plan a daily habit. The gains which you will experience will come easily and naturally, as a result of continuous and cumulative mental and physical action.
