Motivation chain

The thing about the motivation chain is that it’s not only a three-part chain but an endless loop:



Your actions create further emotional reactions and inspirations and move on to motivate your future actions. Taking advantage of this knowledge, we can actually re-orient our mindset in the following way:

Action → Inspiration → Motivation

The conclusion is that if you lack the motivation to make an important change in your life, then do something, anything really, and then harness the reaction to that action as a way to begin motivating yourself. when no one is around to push you, sitting around and watching TV reruns all day can quickly become the more appealing option. I quickly learned that forcing myself to do something, even the most intense tasks, quickly made the larger tasks seem much easier. the appropriate action occurs at some point or another. The motivation is natural. The inspiration is genuine. It’s an overall far more pleasant way of accomplishing my goals. Motivation comes and goes. Inspiration can strike when you least expect it and leave you high and dry when you need it the most specially when you want to create content for YouTube or anything creative. 

So whatever you call it—motivation, willpower, inspiration, your “muse”—you need to regularly nourish and replenish your supply. The important thing is simply having a ritual—any ritual—that gets you started in the right direction. 

1. DEVELOP A RITUAL 

A routine everyday helps. 

2. RUTHLESSLY CUT DISTRACTIONS OUT OF YOUR LIFE

Means remove apps that are distracting you from doing the tasks. 

3. UNCOVER THE REAL REASONS FOR YOUR LACK OF MOTIVATION


If you’re still having trouble staying motivated after all of that, it’s time to take a good, hard look at your life and figure out what might be the proverbial piss in your cornflakes all the time.

If you consistently have no motivation to be productive at work, maybe you hate your job and it’s time to get a new career. If you’re having a hard time fitting regular exercise into your day, it might be time to examine your beliefs around your body, what you think a healthy lifestyle is, and whether or not you’re doing exercise that you find enjoyable and worthwhile. 

So these are the moments you have to not only face, but embrace. Rather than turning away from discomfort, you turn towards it as a source of motivation itself.

And that’s when shit gets real, my friend.

The Importance of Going After your goal You Want

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...

Building a resilient child

Image
  As much as we would love to shield our kids from the harder parts of life, sadly we can’t keep them from facing challenges, big and small. I believe it is important to teach kids how to handle challenges in life like I did. What we can do, however, is teach our kids the skills of resilience. I’ve been through a lot as a child and lost a sibling through suicide in 1995 and there was nothing for children back in 1995 they swept it under the carpet but it’s important we actually learn ways to overcome these traumatic experiences. Resilience is what helps us humans cope when times get tough. Although the term ‘ resilience ’ is talked about a lot these days, it’s not always well understood. It doesn’t mean simply putting on a brave face or learning not to care about what happens to us. It means facing the negative situations with courage. It’s about being able to recognise that some things in life are hard. And it’s ok to have big feelings about that.  When we can accept our fee...

  How to move on from setbacks Bounce back better with these 5 science-backed strategies None of us sail through life without some drama. Sure, it can feel like some people experience more hardship than others but think about the people you know. Really know. Chances are, most of them struggle with something. The best we can do is work on how we respond to challenges. These science-backed strategies are a good place to start. 1. Acceptance This doesn't mean you agree with the situation, but you can acknowledge it as your current reality. This helps you to stop dwelling on what could have been and start moving towards what can be. 2. Let go of the past Holding onto disappointment and tragedy for example suicidal death of a loved one. It only keeps you stuck. One technique you might like to try is writing down negative thoughts in a journal. Sometimes seeing it on paper or a journal can help you examine it more objectively. - this is used in life coaching known as cognitive behaviour...
