Motivating Yourself Everyday

   Motivating Yourself Everyday

Do you still remember when you were younger, participating in a baseball game or a cheerleading contest, and your parents and teachers were huddled in the sidelines cheering on you and shouting words that were meant to invigorate your efforts and push you forward? It would be nice to have your parents and teachers cheering you on every time you need a boost of confidence, but things do not really happen that way especially now that you are all grown up.

The Power of Words

Words are just words but if you are able to choose the right things to say, you will realize that words can be truly powerful and effective. Self-affirmations are effective and you can choose to start your day, by whispering certain positive phrases to yourself, facing the mirror and talking straight to yourself, and by reading motivational notes posted in your room. Not a lot of people understand how important words are, but once you see the effect it has on your day, you might begin to whisper more “power words” to yourself.

Simply saying, “You can do this!” every time you are about to face a challenge will surely make a difference. There are so many other examples of words and you just have to pick the right one for your situation, and make a habit of starting your day with it.

Talking to Yourself

Not a lot of people are able to talk to themselves and they will probably think it is ridiculous and insane. Still, who do you expect should converse with the “inner self” residing in you? Everyone has an inner potential that is usually slumbering comfortably, and you need to awaken this part of yourself, to be able to utilize it well.

                                                                                                         

How to Talk to Yourself

If you are having a hard time choosing the right motivational words, here is a guide that you can follow:

Step 1: In every journey that man has to take, it is always difficult to take the first step. For some reason, your heart and your feet will feel heavier and it will be very hard for you make the first move, but once you get the ball rolling, things will be a lot different. A good motivational expression would be to say, “Today, I decide to do this...” It is hard to make a decision to do something, but you have to declare and claim it as your reality.

Step 2: Once you begin, you have to keep on going. You will meet difficulties along the way that will hamper your view, cloud your decisions and make it harder for you to move on. Still, you know what you are doing and you should be strong enough to say: “I can do it... I am doing great!”

Step 3: Finally, just when you are about to claim your spot in the finish line, things will shake and you can fall. Regardless, you should be wise enough to understand that, “Everything will be alright” so that you can proceed, move forward and be there to say, “I did it!”
