Will power alone will never work over the long term. It is
the hardest way possible to get yourself to do anything.
The answer is to discover the secrets of self motivation.
Why?
Because it is like trying to open a tin can with your teeth
when there is a can opener in your pocket.
Instead you need to tap into the limitless power of your
mind. When you do you can break bad habits, create
beneficial new ones and put yourself back on track easily,
quickly and with very little effort.
You see...
Making changes to enhance the quality of your life
does not need to be slow or difficult. Unfortunately most
people are still struggling because they continue to rely on
ineffective approaches like will power.
Forget about will power. Become a self motivation expert!
Instead write down one small action you have been putting
off and answer the following questions and really put some
thought into the answers:
1 What am I missing out on of importance by not doing this?
2 What will I gain most by doing this?
3 Why is it important to me to get this done?
4 How is not doing this inconsistent with who I really am?
And then...
Pretend You Have Already Completed the Task:
Get a pen and paper and take 5 minutes to describe how you
feel now that you have already finished the task you have
been postponing. i.e. as if you have already succeeded.
e.g. I have already cleaned the yard and I feel fantastic.
My family and friends are really impressed and I feel so
proud of myself and so delighted that it is finally done.
The yard looks immaculate, so tidy I have even impressed
myself. I feel so powerful, energetic and motivated. I feel
on top of the world. etc. etc.
Do this quickly and write with as much emotion as you can
express. Spend at least 5 minutes on it.
You will be surprised at how well this simple process works.
You may find that you feel a boost in motivation that gets
even better each time you use this process. Do it once a day
for best results.
