Picture this: you’re on a quest to shed those stubborn pounds or you’re hustling to land that dream job. You know what can tip the scales in your favour? It’s that little spark called motivation. It’s the secret sauce that separates the winners from the also-rans.
But let’s face it, the road to success is often paved with sweat and toil. It’s not always a walk in the park. You might sometimes feel like you need an endless supply of motivation to keep you going.
Now, you might be scratching your head and asking, “How do I light that fire in my belly?”
Well, don’t sweat it! Here are three tried-and-tested strategies to keep your motivation burning bright:
Confidence in your abilities to go after your goals can sometimes be difficult to find or keep.
It can sometimes take time to discover the confidence you have inside you. This can be especially true if you are trying something new.
I have a program that can help you to discover what is holding you back from achieving your goals as well as help you set an attainable goal related to where you are in your life and where you are trying to be.
This program also works with you to build up your confidence in being able to reach your goal.
You can find out more about this program at Confidology, a funny name but a serious program.

- Draw Inspiration from Others
Look around you. The world is brimming with two kinds of people – those who had the potential but didn’t quite make it, and those who are smashing their goals and reaching for the stars every single day.
Here’s the kicker: you can learn valuable lessons from both these groups.
The underachievers can serve as a mirror, reflecting what you don’t want to become and why you’re busting your chops to taste success.
On the other hand, the high-flyers can offer a glimpse into what you could become if you stay the course. Watching others like you scale new heights can reinforce your belief that your dream isn’t just a pie in the sky.
So, if others can do it, why should you be left behind? Instead of hunting for excuses why you can’t make it, start unearthing reasons why you can!
- Keep Your Eyes on the Prize
Imagine you’re training for a marathon. You’re pounding the pavement day in and day out. But if there’s no rhyme or reason to your gruelling routine, your interest will fizzle out sooner than later.
Here’s the secret to staying the course: keep reminding yourself why you’re going through the grind.
When you’re clear about your “why”, you’ll pour more energy into your preparations, and the results will be nothing short of spectacular.
So, always keep your purpose front and centre. If you can’t find a compelling reason for what you’re doing, maybe it’s time to rethink your game plan.
- Have Unshakeable Faith in Yourself
When you’re in the thick of it, slogging day after day, it’s easy to second-guess yourself and your abilities.
Here’s the deal: stay upbeat and believe in your skills and hard work. If you don’t, you’ll be sowing seeds of doubt in everything you do.
Staying positive can be tough, but having faith in yourself is all about forging ahead, even when you can’t see the road ahead clearly.
This means that even if you’re unsure about how you’re going to reach your goal, you can still take steps towards it, secure in the knowledge that you’ll figure out how to cross the bridge when you come to it.
Make these strategies a part of your daily routine and you’ll soon find that motivation flows naturally. You’ll leave your half-hearted attempts behind as you stride confidently towards a future glittering with success!
