    How To Get (& Stay) MOTIVATED

    February 16th, 2012 by Hal Elrod

    Today I had someone tell me that they weren’t “feeling motivated” and asked for my advice. Here it is: Motivation doesn’t happen by accident; it must be created daily.  And it is YOUR responsibility to create it. Are you doing the things DAILY that create motivation? Such as nourishing your mind/body/spirit everyday with practices like reading (personal development books), exercising, reviewing your written goals, spending time in silence, etc? Motivation is available to all of us, but YOU must create it daily.

    What if you do those things and still don’t feel motivated?

    Now it’s a matter of “acting your way into feeling” or “moving your way into motivation” – meaning you have to do the thing you want motivation for, and it’s once you’re engaged in the activity that you create the motivation you need to follow through. For example, “thinking” about making phone calls is usually demotivating. It’s only once you’re on the phone making the calls that you FEEL motivated to keep making calls!

    Self-discipline (not motivation) is what’s required to get started, then motivation will help keep you going.

      I use this idea all the time when I need to wake up early or go work out. It’s such an easy concept, yet not many people follow through with it!

      James, you’re absolutely correct. As you well know, most of the things that create success and happiness in our lives are relatively easy to do, they’re simply easier NOT to do. And most people choose to do whatever is easiest (aka “the path of least resistance).

      Thank YOU for being a positive example for others!
