Motivation Tips

First Believe Then Achieve
By:Michael Cheney

Nothing happens without momentum. When you have momentum you can become, own and achieve anything you want.

But what happens when you can't it? Or when you manage to get momentum but it disappears?

This might hurt you (and it hurt me when I first realized it) but the only reason you lose momentum is because you lost it and one of the biggest momentum killers is having baloney beliefs.

And of all the baloney beliefs you can have those surrounding your self-imposed limits are often the most damaging to your success in life.

Do any of these sound familiar?

"I can only do 20 push-ups."

"I get tired after 10pm."

"I need 8 hours sleep a day."

Let's take the push-ups example. If you dropped right now and did as many push-ups as you could then you'd get so far and then your muscles would ache so much you'd have to stop. Let's say you made it to 20. But this is not your limit.

When you take time out, rest and then go back to the push-ups guess what happens? You can do 20 more. Now you've done 40. How cool is that. If you take a bit more time out you can go back and maybe 25 more push-ups this time.

Now you've done 65 push-ups. The point? It's big, really big - are you ready for it?

The only limits you have are the ones you self-impose on yourself.

ARE YOU SELF-SABOTAGING?

Let's say you're working late on something that will put you closer towards your one of your life goals. Normally you're in bed by 10:30PM and it's now 9:55PM. In your mind you start saying;

"But I get tired after 10pm."

And the thing is - you DO get tired after 10pm because that's the belief you've told yourself over and over. You've reinforced it to yourself by going to bed shortly afterwards every single night right?

But what about when you to a concert or go out with a friend? You stay up later then right and you don't feel tired until much later do you? Why is that?

It's because you are in a different environment, your body is in a different state and your senses are being bombarded by exciting sensations. So what you need to do is re-create this effect in your PRESENT environment when you need to work late to achieve something that will move you towards one of your goals.

Move your body. Get up, jump around! Change rooms. Change the lighting. Bombard your senses with up-beat music, your favourite drink, your favourite picture - whatever it takes to get you into the state that will get the task done.

BREAKTHROUGH YOUR BARRIERS AND BOUNDARIES

You can achieve a LOT more than you think you can - the trick here is to keep pushing your personal boundaries.

Keep saying to yourself;

"The only limits are the ones I create."

Self-limitation like this is often hard-wired into us from an early age so it can be very difficult to re-write these limits.
