Motivate yourself

Motivation is a positive force to help you achieve your dreams – if planned and applied, it changes your behaviour and breaks through negative mindsets. The good news: it's possible to motivate yourself ! The following 12 steps will help you to build up your motivation.

  1. Look to the future – What sort of life do you want? Create your 'Success Dream'
  2. Look for the purpose in your activities. 'If I do this I will be able to do ...'
  3. Take pride in your work performance, record all improvements and successes.
  4. Look back at previous success. Remember how you felt then.
  5. Plan your work into a timetable. Month, week and day. Set yourself targets.
  6. Use a time planner to help see the big picture. Plan in your free time activities.
  7. Break your topics down into managable chunks.
  8. Set sensible time limits; it's not the number of hours you put in, it's what you put into them.
  9. Talk to someone who knows what you're going through. (Your 'learning supporter') Any praise and understanding from them will motivate you.
  10. Avoid comparisons with others.
  11. Praise yourself when you know you've got it right! Give yourself a reward!
  12. Develop a mental vision of yourself succeeding.
Give it a try, change your mind and start living your life !
