Getting motivated requires your focus in a few key areas. Here are 7 tips for increasing your motivation.

Get A Dream- Get a big dream that motivates you to do whatever needs to be done. If your dream is big enough then it will keep you inspired. In times of low motivation all you have to do is focus on the benefits of your dream and you will be off and running again. A dream keeps you excited.

Make A List- You need clear objectives. When your goals are fuzzy it is hard to remain motivated for very long. You should know exactly what you want and you should have a step by step plan for accomplishing it. Make a checklist with your objectives arranged in order of priority. Next, take action to complete each goal on the list until you are done.

Take A Break- Schedule breaks into your calendar. It helps if you can step away from time to time and recharge your batteries. That way when you return to your goals you will have renewed enthusiasm and energy.

Get A move On- Just get started. Then take continuous action towards the accomplishment of your goals. As Newton's first law of motion states, "an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion." So get moving and establish positive momentum. It will make gaining and sustaining motivation much easier.

Get a Routine- When you establish a routine you eliminate procrastination and rationalization. You will not be tempted to put things off when you already have a predetermined routine which you can follow. You don't have to think about what needs to be done. With a routine you can simply follow the regiment that you have laid out for yourself. This helps you to establish a rhythm. Motivation will soon become a byproduct.

Get A Positive Attitude- You must maintain a positive attitude. You have to see the glass as being half full and not half empty. When you keep a bright outlook on life you will find it easier to put forth initiative because you believe that it will result in a positive outcome.

Get Away- Get away from negative people. Limit your exposure to negative and pessimistic people. They will bring you down to their level of thinking. You cannot get motivated if you maintain close relationships with people who bring you down. If you change the type of people you associate with from negative people to positive ones then you will see an immediate increase in your motivation levels.
