- Do you ever feel like your motivation is waning?
- Do you find it hard to stay focused when life gets busy?
- Do you find yourself procrastinating and not accomplishing your bigger goal or short term goals?
- Do you need to be inspired to get back on-track towards accomplishing your long term goals?
While it doesn’t really help much, it’s good to know you’re not alone. It’s easy to lose motivation and forget why you started doing something in the first place. There might be days when it all seems too hard and you want to give up hopes and dreams.
But it doesn’t have to be that way! It doesn’t matter whether you’re trying to start an exercise routine, improve your personal life goals, a new project or a new business venture.
Tips to be inspired towards achieving your goals
These tips will help inspire you to get back on track with your action plans, whatever types of goals you have, to stay motivated with a clear target for accomplishing your larger goals.
You need to keep up the momentum and have the energy to do what needs doing to reach your specific goals. Act with a purpose every day – you deserve a fulfilling life, so do not wait any longer to achieve your goal today!
1. Surround yourself with like-minded people
It’s hard to maintain focus when you’re surrounded by people who don’t share your values or goals. At a minimum it helps to at least for them to be on a similar journey as you.
We know what it feels like spending time with negative naysayers, and how easy it is to get sucked into their negativity. From there it is a small step to distract you from working on the important things in life that matter most to you.
Do not wait any longer and start meeting like-minded people who have the same values as you do, and who are equally committed to achieving their goals. You can bounce off each other – their positive energy will help keep your mind focused on what really matters in life and vice versa. Help each other achieve success so we can all live our dream lives!
2. Complete a workout exercise
Exercise isn’t just about looking better or fitting into your favourite clothes. Exercise is a huge motivator because it releases endorphins into your body that boosts your mood. Endorphins are natural chemicals that make us feel happy![1]
A workout exercise will also help improve your energy levels, keep you motivated, sleep better at night, reduce stress and anxiety. Exercising also increases circulation which means more oxygen flowing through our bodies which leads to clearer thinking and faster decision making.
With an increased motivation you can do anything you want without giving-up on time for yourself, like taking a vacation or spending quality time with friends and family!
3. Challenge yourself
When people set goals, they often find themselves struggling or feeling overwhelmed trying to reach their big goals, or even their smaller goals.
It’s not surprising that this happens so often; it takes a lot of commitment and effort to achieve our work and personal goals. We all have limited time and energy, which makes us more likely to give up on our dreams, but only if we let it.
To be successful you need to have the right mindset. You need confidence in yourself and your abilities. You also need motivation and resilience to keep going in the face of challenges. In our Inner Entrepreneur course we go into great detail on how to achieve this for yourself
If you want your business or your life to be better than it currently is, then challenge yourself by learning something new. Put yourself in a new and challenging situation every day. When you believe in yourself you will soon see how far you can go and what amazing things you can achieve!
4. Stop being a perfectionist
Do you think that being a perfectionist means you must be hardworking and detail-oriented? If so, I have news for you. You might actually be working too hard and get nothing done. As a famous Spanish painter once said:
“Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it”
Salvador Dali
The best entrepreneurs can take risks, make mistakes, learn from them, and then go on to do better next time. And they don’t obsess over every little thing because they know in the bigger scheme of things it doesn’t matter anyway.
So stop being perfectionists because it stops you from making progress. Stop waiting for the perfect time or the perfect plan before taking any action, there will never be a “perfect” moment for you to get started on your dreams.
It’s time that we stopped waiting and just start with what we know now, so we can get started on making tomorrow even better than today!
5. The power of positive thinking
We all have the power to change our lives. We can be more successful, productive and happy. It’s just a matter of how we choose to see things.
The power of positive thinking is often underestimated. Your unconscious brain doesn’t know right from wrong. So it is easy to create a positive perspective on life.
If you keep telling yourself something, even if you don’t believe in what you’re telling yourself, if you keep repeating it to yourself, eventually your brain will start believing that this is a possible reality for you.
It’s true that all adversity is a prelude to triumph, and we can’t be afraid of what the future holds. To achieve success in life and in your business, you need to have faith that things will work out. So stay positive and believe in yourself!
The power of positivity starts with you – if you are filled with self-doubt, how do expect anyone else to believe in you? By thinking positively and tapping into your creativity you can transform yourself and your business.
