- You cannot always rely on others to encourage you, if you have positive friends who are always there when you need them then you are indeed lucky and very much in the minority. If you are lonely or have few friends when you face any difficulties in your life you must rely on your own motivation to get you through. Lack of self motivation at that time could lead to depression.
- You need self motivation to achieve because if you don't encourage yourself to accept opportunity and challenge who will?
- To plan and find direction in your life
- To take up a new activity, hobby or challenge
- To be enthusiastic about life and living
- To have the courage to see things through despite setbacks or negative comments from others
- Focus on what you really enjoy doing, maybe on something you want to take up or on a hobby you've always wanted to devote more time to. What's stopping you? Think about giving it priority to start doing what you love doing.
- Make a list of things you'd like to improve on and how you're going to do it
- Review all the successes you've enjoyed in every area of your life, totally forget any negatives, just positive successes here!
- Start an exercise program - force yourself to do it, it'll make you feel much more positive.
- Contact a positive friend and have a chat.
- Read inspiring books that will help heal your mind and improve your attitude.
