How to Use Discouragement to Motivate Yourself
by Peter Murphy
Ever feel like giving up? Do you ever feel so discouraged
that even one more day of frustration will be too much too
handle?
Everyone gets discouraged at times. However there are a
number of key differences between people who keep on going
and those who give up.
Read on and use these insights to transform discouragement
into positive momentum.
1 Focus On Your Goal Not On Your Problems
One of my mentors is a highly successful property developer
and he loves solving problems. All day long he can take on
one problem after the next and just keep going.
How does he do this when most people would feel overwhelmed?
He understands the importance of focus.
He never loses sight of his goal and his goals so excite
him that problems are nothing more than stepping stones to
the achievement of his outcomes.
If you are feeling discouraged it is very likely because
your focus is on what has not worked - your setbacks and
your fears.
Even when you are off course you must take charge of your
thoughts. When you focus on your goals discouragement will
fade into the distance.
2 Ask For Help
You do not have to deal with everything alone. Ask for help
from someone who is qualified to help you and act on their
good advice.
Two minds are better than one especially when your mind is
full of discouragement.
And, you will feel stronger knowing that someone else is
backing you, keen to see you succeed.
When you think about it.
The only thing stopping your from getting from where you are
to where you want to be is -- learning! Learning an
effective approach.
If you do not know the answer why waste time guessing when
you can open your mouth and ask?
3 Learn How Your Mind Works
Once you take charge of your thoughts and your emotions you
will be able to deal with whatever challenges come your way.
Until that happens you will always be at the mercy of the
ups and downs of life.
The most valuable gift you can give yourself is the ability
to master your mind. And when you do - getting motivated
will be easy. Even at times when discouragement would leave
others feeling stuck.
The moment I finally understood how to motivate myself was
the day my life changed forever. I discovered a tenacity
that sees me though any challenges I have to deal with.
Until you learn how to run your brain it really is like
having a super computer without a user manual. The power to
motivate yourself will never be available to you until you
commit to learning how to do it.
Feelings of frustration, discouragement and overwhelm are
not random occurrences. It all comes down to how you use
your mind.
You will have challenges in the future. You will never have
a time when you do not have problems to solve.
Why not commit to mastering your mind?
