You become what they think, whether that is something positive or something negative, so you need to make sure it's something positive. If you control your thoughts you control your future and you can make it happen. Motivation techniques need to get you in the right frame of mind to begin with.
1. See Yourself Achieving your Goal
Motivational Techniques
Sports psychologists train athletes to visualize themselves as winning a race. Top athletes see themselves as passing the finishing line in first place then they mentally rehearse the steps that will achieve this. You can do that too, no matter what your ambition. This mental rehearsal starts you planning the things you need to in order to fulfill your ambition.
2. What Needs to Happen for you to achieve your Aim?
In order to be successful in your aim, you need to identify exactly what you want to achieve. If you don't know the target, you can't aim efficiently. Write down a list of things that need to happen/not happen. Make it realistic and make it comprehensive. It doesn't matter how many things are on there.
In fact, the more ideas on the list the better, because if something later comes up that you hadn't thought about before, that can knock your confidence and your motivation. Once you have this list, you can get motivated because you will know some practical thins that you can do to achieve your aims.
3. Hold the Thought and Act upon it
Keep your aim in mind. Now you know what needs to happen in order for you to achieve your aim, take the steps you just planned. They're no good just in your head; you have to do something about them. So take that class, make that appointment; arrange that bank loan or whatever you need to do.
4. Keep Re-visiting your Aim and the Actions you Planned in Order to Achieve it
That enables you to stay clear about your aim, but don't be a slave to the exact aim. If it's not working for you, change it. Scale it down, or make it bigger. Make it motivate you again. After all, that aim is yours; you can do whatever you want with it. Knowing what you want will concentrate your energies and you won't waste time on doing things that won't help you achieve it.
Re-assessing your original aim will give you greater motivation for the difficult times that may be ahead. You'll see it's still something worth working for, and you'll see what benefits success will bring. You'll also see how far you've come towards achieving your goal.
5. Take time to celebrate those achievements
Notice when you have fulfilled one of your targets. It will keep you motivated and keep you focused as each target builds on the previous one.
Perhaps most importantly of all, looking back at what you want to achieve will help you see what you need to do next. You can achieve your dreams. Sometimes that will need a little help, sometimes it will need a lot, but you can do it. Your future is in your own hands and that should be a very motivating thought.
