Motivation...is it Internal or External??
Is it both?
For many of us, it's a combination of both. Why?
Most people aren't motivated by external influences. Most people find it hard to be internally motivated. In our opinion, one MUST be motivated by things that are important to them. Those things keep us motivated long term.
How well will 'I want a bikini body' keep you motivated when you're stressed out and lacking sleep? Not very well.
Have you noticed why there are people in this world who are constantly motivated? Have a think as to why.
It's no surprise that it's because they are motivated by things that are important to them. Things that get their fire in the belly going.
They visualise. They have their goals in font of them everyday. They don't allow for petty excuses to dictate what they do with their day.
How can we all get motivated? That's easy. Find something that you really want to achieve and then think about how good it will feel to actually achieve it. .
How do we all STAY motivated? This isn't as easy. There will be times where we struggle. There will be times where we find things to be very hard. There will be obstacles and hurdles that slow us down.
But what separates the great from the mediocre is their ability to never lose sight of their goals and how important they are to them. This is a daily practice and although may not be easy for some, is certainly beneficial to all.
Practice gratitude daily. Revise your goals daily. Practice positive thinking daily. Practice ACTION daily.
What's your daily practice?
