SELF MOTIVATION- AN EASY TOOL TO USE AND MOST ESSENTIAL TO
SURVIVE IN TODAY’S WORLD!
WHY SELF MOTIVATION IS VITAL???
Due to fierce competition and large amount of comparison
because of immense talent pool which is accessible in the global world, it is
highly imperative to have our SELF MOTIVATION intact now a days to survive!!!!
Without having any support, how we can derive self
motivation; is a matter of concern. Because many times when I deliver my
coaching sessions, people ask me, “Sir, how should we derive self motivation as
it is harder process to perceive?” But my answer is always, “Yes my friends it
is very easy to do that!”
If we know our
priorities of life with respect to our dreams/aims we have set; then
possibilities of one getting motivated on
his/her own; will be greater.
Secondly if we are determined irrespective of any hindrances that we may
confront, we will remain focused which in turn will support our motivational
energy which should not get lost at any point of time. In the word Motivation
we can find out one or two important words which have direct inclination as to
how motivation can be self driven!!! First is Motive and second is Move
according to me where continuous positive movement towards our motive will have
automated self motivation!
We have tremendous influential elements in the outside world which de-motivates us
very often or even people around us many times discourages us reacting in such
a fashion where our efficiency will get decreased. But then keeping in mind
that we humans have an ability to control and decontrol our vision the way we
want because of strong brainful and mindful abilities, self motivation can be
easy to achieve. Motivation plays a part of water in growing the seed of any
plant! Motivation is in our conviction i.e. in our approach. It means everyone
has different taste and vision in appreciating something and similarly imagining
that every situation in our life is a design and we are trying to make it
superior by our own conviction because in this imagination our motivation is
hidden and then any exterior incident will not bother us and will not override
our abilities.
TOOLS WHICH ARE RESOURCEFUL FOR SELF MOTIVATION-
1.
PAINT YOUR PICTURE OF EVERY MOMENT POSITIVELY-
Many times…whenever any situation crops up, we get scared and without giving a
thought we react and also get depressed. Instead, if we will paint a picture of
that particular situation by imagining that we are the part of the situation
and handling the same diligently without any fear, it will be courageous. At the same time, one should have a painted
picture of every short term goal he or she has set for himself/herself because
it helps a lot to remain energetic irrespective of problems. When I thought of becoming a life coach, I
painted a picture of what I shall be five years down the line and how people
would think of me everyday being a life coach or even am I getting something
really extraordinary in life due to which my motivation will remain forever?
These questions helped me a lot because I painted a unique picture and have
been painting almost every day since the day I started working as a life coach.
2.
USE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS CONSTANTLY ON EVERY
DAY – Using affirmations like, “ I am healthy, I am happy!” and I started using
this affirmation at the time of doing exercise in the morning and it started
making my day more and more beautiful just because of this simple positive
affirmation in life! Start jumping little bit…then start clapping and then
start uttering these words and see the difference it will have in your life!
The way we get habituated to something by practicing various things as per our
own likes or even the way we have our breakfast every day or even sleep every
day or even the bath, why can’t we get habituated with few positive
affirmations like stated above? Yes, we can for sure!!!!! Before going to the
bed in the night or before getting off
from the bed on every sunny morning, if we will start chanting few affirmations
as if it is our prayer…it will surely help you in maintaining your motivation
intact. Self motivation works like as if the machine needs overhauling after
certain period…the man will need to be motivated at every step and hence
overhauling will have to be done every day instead of making it a practice
after every interval. Isn’t it interesting??? I also started chanting “AUM”
every day and it worked fabulously for keeping my enthusiasm intact.
3.
LISTEN TO SOME HEALING MUSIC OR GET ASSOCIATED
WITH ALMOST EVERY FORM OF MUSIC- I am a professional musician and after having
a journey of almost 20 years, when I kept of listening to good music…I realized
one day that barring all obstructions in life, I can surely keep my motivation
blossoming and the healing gimmick was nothing but listening to pure music
which you love from the bottom of your heart. For e.g. When I am depressed, I
listen to the tune of piano or group violin or strings etc. and it activates my emotional
intelligence in such a manner that I reveal some precious thing about myself
and it works as a self motivation. Likewise, if people will listen to the healing
music which they appreciate as per their taste, it will surely inspire
them. So be a good listener of GENUINE
MUSIC!!!!
4.
DO SOME BENEVOLENT ACTIVITY AS A PART OF YOUR
NORMAL SCHEDULE- Social aspect is really essential in the current world of
affairs and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is a buzz word now a days in
the industrial world but then think as if you on your won has some terrific
benevolence on the basis of which you plan to have some social activity as a
part of your normal schedule. Try and find out such social organizations where
you can be a part of the same easily without having any monetary investment and
help the people selflessly where it is a self motivation within itself. Over a
period of time, you will realize that you have lot of social homes with whom
you have got associated and you feel really homely there because of pure
sharing & giving approach!
5.
BE CREATIVE IN YOUR OWN AREA OF POTENTIAL- The
worst part which I have observed in people through my journey of a life coaching
is; when people can not tap their true potentials and remain de-motivated &
stressful thereto! In such a situation I
really feel like helping them in revealing their own circle of abilities which
has a greater radius and diameter…! And when I see that zeal on their faces, I
can make out that because of some unconditional desire to help people in making
them find their own potentials, the world around me has changed totally where
only glorious feeling of achieving something persists in your mind and moreover
if you will see people becoming very creative in their own potential field then
sky is the limit. Writing a letter to your own many times is a creative way of
utilizing time and likewise there will be such numerous ways to adopt where
your self motivation will remain intact! Isn’t it exciting? Yes very much…!
Because I tried one exercise one day…! One day there was little more time for
me to go inside the cabin of one senior person for the meeting and then his
secretary asked me to wait in the reception. I waited over there and then all
of a sudden thought came in mind…that what kind of thinking people carry when
they come and go like this in various organizations….and it goes in
multiples…how such scenario affects or effects. Just by sitting over there, I wrote a poem on those people who come and
go like me in various organizations…and to my surprise it gave me a great
motivation to lead life enormously in an emphatic way!!!
So friends, above
five ways can surely keep you motivated because I could think of one line of
famous management philosopher Robin Sharma, who
says “BE A ROCKSTAR LIKE A POET” Because poet has his own world of
creative aspects and he feels out of this world when he writes a poem and it is
an expression of ROCKSTAR, right? Similarly you can have your own ROCKSTAR
feeling in your life to keep your motivation rejoicing!!!
