The Motivation Mindset: Techniques for Cultivating Self-Driven Success

in motivation •  2 years ago 

This post focuses on the key techniques for developing a motivation mindset. By having a positive outlook and being excited about what you're doing today, you'll be able to achieve greater results in the long run.

STEP 1: Visualize Success


If you want to get results, visualize them as clearly as possible. You should only visualize things you can easily see and feel in your mind. The more vivid the image, the more likely you are to actually achieve it.

It doesn't matter what kind of visualization works best for you. You may prefer a written plan, or perhaps you like seeing your goals or desires come to life. Whatever type of visualization technique you choose, make sure it is positive and helps you get excited about what you're working towards.

STEP 2: Prioritize

It's easy to get lost in the excitement and enthusiasm of visualizing success, but at some point you need to prioritize your most important priorities.

This can be as basic as figuring out where you'd like to spend your time and attention. It's also helpful to look at your life from the perspective of your dreams and desires. Once you've identified your top priorities, it's time to think about how you can achieve them.

STEP 3: Set Goals

In order to achieve your highest priorities, you need to set specific goals. As you continue to prioritize and visualize, this becomes clearer and clearer. It's very important to write down goals using concrete words such as "get out of debt" instead of vague or open-ended statements such as "be debt free."

What's the goal? How do you know it's been achieved?

Is it a goal to save X amount of money, or is it a goal to be free of debt?

STEP 4: Reward Yourself

Sometimes you just need to reward yourself for hitting a big goal. When you reach a major milestone in your life, it can take a lot of hard work to get there. You deserve some recognition for your efforts. Whether it's by giving yourself a little treat, taking a vacation, or just relaxing for a day, it's important to make yourself feel good when you reach a new level.

STEP 5: Make New Goals Every Day

You don't need to set goals that are too difficult to achieve. On the contrary, making goals that seem so daunting will actually slow you down in the long run. When you have the opportunity, make a daily goal.

A goal should be achievable, yet something that is challenging enough to drive you forward. If you're trying to lose weight, for example, don't set a goal to lose 30 pounds in a month. Set a goal to lose one pound every week, and build that goal from there.

STEP 6: Keep Goals Realistic

Keep your goals realistic, as well. You can't become successful overnight. To be clear, you should set goals that you can accomplish within a matter of weeks or months. Setting a goal that will take years is unlikely to ever come to
