5 techniques to motivate yourself

Getting started-

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.What you do today can improve all your tomorrows. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

Be gentle with yourself. –

Stop comparing the accomplishments in your life with those of your neighbor. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. If you can dream it, you can do it. Arrive at Work in a Good Mood.

Celebrate the little wins, no matter how small.

Little wins may seem like just that--little. Celebrating these wins can help to create positive habits. Slashing your aggressive to-do list in half will allow room for success. Knowing that it's realistic for you to complete the list is empowering.

Take a break--you deserve it.-

The only way we can perform at an optimal level is create time for rest. The moment you know you can't take any time off is usually when you need it most. So take that long delayed vacation, and return to your business with renewed enthusiasm.

Don’t give up-

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines. Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Things do not happen. Things are made to happen. We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.
