Motivation plays a huge role in your success in anything you attempt. If you want to lose weight, control your stress or take your workouts to the next level, you must find and feed your motivation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Motivation <\/a>will help maintain your focus when you hit those bumps in the road that we all hit. You may get sick while training, or fall short when you work towards coping with your stress. Whatever the bump in the road, they will happen. It\u2019s just the way the world works.<\/p>\n

So what is it that successful people do to continue feeding their motivation? There are several factors that are important to continue your quest for success.<\/p>\n

First you can create a mantra<\/strong> or something that you can say aloud and print on paper to look at each day. Believe it or not, you become what you believe you will become. Some people think that mantras are religious but they can be as simple as \u201cI am a calm person\u201d or \u201cI am in control\u201d. The only requirement is that it works in your situation.<\/p>\n

Next understand that you need focus<\/strong>. Many people, especially women, are great at multi-tasking<\/a>. This can work for you or against you. In the case of feeding your motivation it will work against you. Work on focusing on the moment in time that you are living. If you are finishing one project, don\u2019t think about the next one, or dinner or your boss.<\/p>\n

Find your quiet place<\/strong>. The world if full of noise, confusion<\/a> and fast paced people looking for the next great answer. You have to slow down and find your quiet space. There has to be a time you find to recharge your own batteries or you won\u2019t be able to continue to work.<\/p>\n

Organization is key<\/strong>. You may have a disorganized nature but it won\u2019t be in your best interest to continue this habit when you are striving for success. If you can\u2019t be organized then find help to get you organized. The space around you is a good indicator of what is happening inside of you. If your space is cluttered it\u2019s a fair bet that your mind is also.<\/p>\n

All of this focus and strategizing feeding your motivation can sometimes keep you focused inward. People who are successful are also able to recognize the world around them and focus outward<\/a>. Focus outward<\/strong> to really see the problems and personal matters of others. It\u2019s not necessary to commit hours of your time but it is important to help others such as working at a blood drive or food drive, gather blankets for the local shelter or animal shelter.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget yourself<\/strong>. In all of the movement toward your success don\u2019t forget about taking care of yourself. While you are focusing on the moment with your significant other or children also remember to find time to focus on yourself. This may be harder that you anticipate since we don\u2019t seem to be wired to take care of ourselves first. Without self-preservation and recharging your own batteries you won\u2019t be feeding your motivation \u2014 just killing it.<\/p>\n
