7 Terrific Self Motivating Tips

No one can motivate anyone to do anything. All a person can do for another is provide them with incentives to motivate themselves. Here are seven very effective strategies to help you get up and get moving toward actualizing your tremendous untapped potential.

  1. Be willing to leave your comfort zone. The greatest barrier to achieving your potential is your comfort zone. Great things happen when you make friends with your "discomfort zone."
  2. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Wisdom helps us to avoid making mistakes and comes from making a million of them.
  3. Don't indulge in self limiting thinking. Think empowering, expansive thoughts.
  4. Choose to be happy. Happy people are easily motivated. Happiness is your birthright so don't settle for anything less.
  5. Spend at least one hour a day in self development. Read great books or listen to inspiring CD's. Drives or commutes to and from work provide an excellent opportunity to listen to self improvement material.
  6. Train yourself to finish what you start. So many of us become scattered as we try to accomplish a task. Finish one task before you begin another. (easier said that done...huh?)
  7. Live life fully in the present moment. When you live in the past or the future you are not able to make things happen in the present.
