Self Motivation Skills – 8 Skills For Staying Motivated

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:57:19 +0000

Self motivation skills are essential if we are to enjoy success, fulfillment, and fitness throughout our life. We may benefit tremendously from gifted motivational speakers, books, and seminars. But if we are to continue to move forward and make progress in achieving our goals we must develop our own personal skills for staying motivated.

These are skills that can be learned and improved with time and effort. We never reach a point where we can stop honing these self motivation skills. As we become more skilled we are able to move forward more quickly and reach for even higher goals.

Improve Your Life With These Self Motivation Skills:

1. Take responsibility. Blaming others for your lack of motivation and inability to persevere in reaching goals is a waste of time. People who constantly blame their boss for their lack of motivation on their job will inevitably stay frustrated and unsuccessful in their work. Get in the habit of not letting other people’s words and actions have an impact on your motivation.

2. Stop procrastinating. This self-defeating habit can be devastating to your motivation and your ability to reach your goals.

3. Take action. There is a time to think and plan but then there it time for action. Nothing will happen until you take some action. Don’t allow yourself to be paralyzed by fear and indecision. Steps of action will lead to more and more motivation.

4. Stop comparing. Comparing yourself with others will inhibit your own personal growth and motivation. Focus on being the very best that you can be and allow others to do the same.

5. Eliminate negativity. We can get bombarded with negativity from friends, family, media, co-workers, and even our own thoughts. Negativity can kill out excitement and keep us from living a motivated life. Skillfully eliminating this negativity can be a great boost to our motivation.

6. Be realistic. After proper self-evaluation you should set goals that are attainable. Setting goals too far out of reach leads to frustration and depletes our energy and motivation. A common example of this is when people set weight-loss goals. You can only lose 1-2 pounds of fat each week. If you set a 10 pound goal you will become frustrated and defeated. Be realistic.

7. Make plans. Failing to plan is planning to fail. It’s an old saying but full of truth. When you follow a well-devised plan you will stay motivated.

8. Reward yourself. Take time to celebrate. Include those who helped you reach your goal. This will keep your motivation fresh and keep you moving forward.

Effective Staff Motivation

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:36:44 +0000

My grandmother, when she was owner and CEO of a successful company (having to do with medical supplies for the fields of cryogenics), was, as I understand it, and absolute genius at staff motivation. She kept it simple. If she’d for instance received a call from a client who complimented her administrative assistant on her professionalism, then the my grandmother would present that assistant with a $100 bill at the next staff meeting in front of the other employees to motivate them. Now I think that is effective staff motivation.

Staff motivation is more an art than science, but make no mistake it is incredibly important. Think about what you want from your staff and what that staff consists of, humans with human feelings and needs. Humans are, of course, strange creatures by our very design. In one study I read when I was taking an elective course on management psychology (which included such phenoms as staff motivation), a staff of factory workers were actually affected by changes in lighting. The heads of the company brought in light bulbs with dimmer wattage…and it was learned that production actually increased but they didn’t like. The heads then brought in bulbs of a brighter intensity (than the original bulbs)…and the staff cheered and worked harder: production went up just as much. I guess this was an example of bait and switch.

So a good example of staff motivation is manipulation and subtle deceit. But be sure not to overtly trick anyone or cause harm in any way. After many years (decades) of working for and with and “over” teams of employees, I have personally found that rewards work best for motivation. I was the spirit leader in one company, coming up with freaky Friday and Muddled Mondays ideas for staff motivation by way of staff morale-boosting (for the company and the work was typically quite Kafkaesque).

It was almost childish sometimes, but it really did break up the monotony and add a little life into the mix. It actually put a lot of smiles on people’s faces and that can never be under estimated. We had make-your-own-sundae days, international food days, and show-and-tell days…yes, just like when we were kids back in school but with adult objects and stories that distracted temporarily, enlightened, humored, and entertained…getting us through another week. We also openly encouraged employees to express their own ideas and suggestions and try to foster that type of thinking (learning the jobs each had for a change of pace and for support of whomever was bogged down or behind).

Some ways to destroy staff motivation, which of course is not something you want to teach, but rather be on the lookout to avoid, are those which do the opposite of the above, those whaich are the antithesis of good leadership. I recall having jobs were clueless bosses and administrators could make the workplace they truly miserable place to be (for unsavory political reasons they got into the position in the first place). One leader would hold brainstorming meetings and then say no to every single “idea”. Could you imagine that? What’s the point?

Another would insist on a project, get everyone working at completing the project/presentation, then on the day of debut would bring unrelated changes and items and schedules so that only one person looked together and knew what she was doing. The signs, tents, flyers, and fundraising items were all tossed aside as irrelevant and thereby tossed away potential buyers and supporters, too.

This absolutely destroyed morale and to fight the opposite of the wanted affect. Another clueless boss came up with the idea of “working retreats”, which we employees made fun but where the leaders would bastardize the concept of “retreat” in the first place…. Still, games, fun, open exchanges of ideas and togetherness projects, and the honoring of (by listening to, acknowledging, crediting, and rewarding) individuals wherever possible seems to work in favor of staff motivation.

It sounds like common sense doesn’t it? But some bosses and companies just don’t get it. Don’t be one of them and your staff motivation will never be a problem.

Motivation Using Dean Spitzers 8 Desires of Motivation

admin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:32:11 +0000

There are many motivational theories out there, but one of my favourites I’ve come across in the past has to be Dean Spitzers 8 Desires of Motivation.

In his book ‘Supermotivation’, Spitzer describes 8 desires which causes inner motivation. These inner motivators are closely linked to Hertzberg’s Internal Motivators.

Spitzers 8 Desires are:

Desire for Power – People want to be in control of where they are going. In organisations with top-down structures this can be difficult. People want their power to control where they are going. You can do this by allowing people to set their own objectives, providing they are in line with the organisations vision.

Desire for Activity – People want to be involved and active. In our lives we try to avoid boredom and monotony, yet at work we tend to accept jobs that are like this without complaint. However, internally we know that we don’t want to be doing these. As leaders, we could involve people in decisions that affect them and in team decisions to provide that power of choice.

Desire for Recognition – People want to be recognised for a job well done and feel appreciated by others. A simple thanks or some feedback on a job or task carried out can go a very long way. This is a great way of energising people to want to do more.

Desire for Affiliation – People want to feel part of something, whether it be the local team or the wider organisation. Doing things to create a team environment will energise those who are social and will create a stronger team bond. Help people to see where they fit into the organisation.

Desire for Competence – People welcome opportunities to become more competent. Training and developing people to be better at their jobs can provide the energy these people need.

Desire for Ownership – People want to feel as though they own tasks or jobs that they do. Physiological ownership can be even more powerful than physical ownership. Delegate ownership of tasks and don’t just use GOFER delegation. Agree objectives and ensure you discuss what THEY are going to do.

Desire for Meaning – People want to understand what they are there to do. If they have to press a button all day at work, ensure they know why and what the consequences of not pressing the button are. People want to know what difference they are making.

Desire for Achievement – People want to achieve what they set out to do, whether its climb a mountain or a work based objective. Help people to understand how realistic their goals are, envisage what problems they may encounter and what they will do to overcome them.

What can you do to understand what individuals motivators are? Simple answer is ask them. Share the above motivators with them and question them on which of these motivators relate to them.

Remember the pneumonic PARACOMA.

We have a free self assessment questionnaire for you to use available at our website or on request.

Motivation Tips – Discover Your Key Motivators

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:11:53 +0000

Do you ever sit back and create a path or goals for yourself, but just aren’t finding the right motivators to achieve them? Are you struggling at balancing all that life has to offer, never mind the fact that you want to experience new things you just don’t have time for? Now is the time to do those things you’ve always wanted and achieve that “someday” you’ve been after. The following motivation tips will jump start your progress towards achieving those wishes and wants you’ve always desired.

Let’s get your motivated and your goals on their way today. Before we dive into any suggestions, you must come up with an action plan for your goals.

FIRST: Set out your goals. Decide exactly what it is you want to accomplish. Write it down and describe it in great detail.

SECOND: What is a goal without a deadline? Think about how much time you want to dedicate towards your goal and when you hope to achieve it by. Be realistic, if it’s something you’re saving up for, make sure to factor in your current money situation. If you’re unsure of how long it will take, don’t rush yourself or base your decision on wants, try and make a realistic assumption by including all factors.

THIRD: Write out your plan. When you are planning a trip, you usually map out your destination based on turns, stops and any conditions that may cause loss of time or rerouting. Now that you’ve found your goal, map out how you’ll get there. For example, if you are trying to lose weight, your first goal may be to exercise three times your first week for a half an hour, and skip out on extra snacks everyday but Sundays. Your second week, you may up your workout times or change your eating habits based on how well you did the week before.

LASTLY: You’re ready to start achieving your goals. Now you need the support and motivation tips to help you move closer to achieving them.

When you find yourself down and out and think you should give up on your goals, try the following:

Team up with people around you and try working towards goals together. If you don’t have someone with the same mission in mind, ask them if you can report your progress to them. Keep track of your progress. Every night, write down a reflection on what you accomplished that day towards your goals. If you didn’t have any progress, write down what stopped you and how you can change that in the future. End all of your reflections with an objective for the next day. Have your family and friends write motivation tips for you. Place them, ones that you’ve made on your own and any other inspirational pieces where you will see them throughout the day. (Hint: try on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror or on your office computer screen). Brag about your progress. Next time you’re out with friends, share with them how things are going. Even if you have bad days, talking about them will prevent you from doing them again. Reward yourself. The best motivator is a reward. If you’re trying to lose weight – buy new clothes. If you’re quitting a bad habit, treat yourself to something more positive. Don’t be afraid to set milestones and rewards in your action plan. Each time you see your progress, you’ll feel even better knowing you were rewarded. If possible, make each reward a little better than the last – forcing you to make it to your end goal. Visualize yourself accomplishing your goal. That final moment will keep you inspired throughout your journey as you strive to make it a reality.

These motivation tips can only be of use to you if you are honest with yourself. Every time you make a turn in the wrong direction, don’t get down on yourself, instead get back on track and think of it as an obstacle you have been proud to accomplish.

Remember being healthy will help you accomplish your goals faster – sleep, exercise and proper nutrition help you feel good about yourself and your progress along the way. Whatever you do, don’t allow any negativity to get in your way. When you do find hurdles that knock you down, use positivity to get you back up and on your way. Use your motivation tips to help you move on.

And last but not least, keep these motivation tips where you can find them. Don’t get too obsessive with reaching your goals that you want to give up, rather make it a lifestyle change that will help you get there at your proper pace. Keep yourself motivated and you will succeed.

Motivation And Success

admin — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:49:51 +0000

How many things do we need to be successful at? How many ways can we motivate ourselves to accomplish this success? Every day we push ourselves. Looking for motivation and success?

We connect with our family and friends; connect with our colleagues. There are only so many ways to stretch ourselves. Every time there is a dip in the proverbial cup the need to fill it back up is there.

We think the cup is easier to fill then it was for our ancestors; accomplishing it perhaps less harsh but tedious just the same. There is a history of leaders using motivation to build successful societies. Gathering food to stay alive or clothing their families for warmth. We are as driven as our ancestors.

Our motivation for success is instinctual. Even at the earliest stage of life; infants driven by it to crawl; toddlers driven by it to walk. In the teen years we’re driven by motivation to become successful academically; well, somewhere after the pursuit of finding something on four wheels to leave the nest. As high school and college graduates, the drive cumulates to the ultimate motivation; success through our work.

The road we find ourselves on however is not a straight path in any one direction. Women and men jaunt off in all directions. Responsibilities coupled with the desire to be successful in all we do. Are we successful husbands, wives, parents, co-workers, and friends? Are we motivated enough to continue this success? To get there is the paradox of having and obtaining more motivation to in the end be more successful.

This instinct drives men and women the same. Not in competition; motivation is about something more in the context of survival, or living if you will. Individuals with motivation may be misunderstood. Levels of motivation may differ between two people. Perhaps, as instinct would have it, one individual knows his needs to feed himself alone while another is aware of his needs to feed a family.

It may not be uncommon for individuals to feel in competition. Perhaps it is more that we reevaluate our needs through the observation of others. A personal wakeup call so to speak.

To find what we are looking for, we can either motivate ourselves for personal success; or as our ancestors did in building societies, we can motivate for the success of all. Motivation and success go hand in hand; personally and in a community.

Neither is unique to any one individual, sex, age or culture. It is instinctual; and in the instances where we may forget to use our motivation; success is not lost. Though we can apply our hearts and minds to find our silenced sense of motivation and our success will follow.

Motivation Is Like Bathing, You Need to Do It Daily

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:02:41 +0000

Keeping one’s motivation in high gear 24/7 is an incredible challenge given all the obstacles we face traveling the road to success. The lack of motivation appears to continually cross our paths as we grow forward.
Recently I read about Zig Ziglar’s simple answer as to his own motivation technique. Zig said: People often say, “Zig motivation is great, but it does not last.” I just tell them, Bathing does not last either, that is why I recommend it daily.

To stay highly motivated according Zig requires a daily habit. How you construct that daily habit is up to you. Bottom line is that you need to reinforce, reinforce and reinforce your own thoughts and desires so that you stay focused, focused and focused on where you want to be 365 days from today.

Developing a habit is understanding that attitudes are habits of thought (another Ziglar definition). These attitudes are merely reflections of our foundational belief system that holds all of our experiences and knowledge. Much of this belief system has become so internalized that it is subconscious or what some call on automatic pilot.

For it is truly our Beliefs that drive out Attitudes demonstrated through out Actions that create our results. (BAAR) If we belief that we cannot do something, the result will be that it will not be done.

Motivation techniques are essentially the internal fuels that keep our thoughts on the conscious level so that we do not allow unconscious thoughts from years of previous negative conditioning to take over. This is why changing actions or behaviors is so difficult. And why results continue to allude so many.

Not only does our brain respond to conditioning so does our body. After wearing braces for 8 years in junior high, high school and my first year in college, I had them removed. Teeth were straight. Then at the age of 40, I had to wear them again for another year, because teeth have memory and wanted to return to how they were. And we all know about losing weight and how the body is comfortable at certain weight levels no matter how much we do not eat or how much we exercise.

One motivation technique that I use is scheduling time to read and improve myself. Another technique, believe it or not, is Internet article writing. A third motivation technique is the use of belief statements or what are called positive affirmation statements.

Regardless of your motivation techniques, to be successful requires that you use them each and every day as you travel the road to success. Keep that fuel as a constant stream into your conscious thoughts and life will be good for you if not even better.

Define Motivation

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:12:43 +0000

Motivation can be defined in a number of ways. Generally, it is defined as a driving force that initiates and directs behavior. In other words, motivation is a kind of internal energy which drives a person to do something in order to achieve something. It is a temporal or dynamic state within a person which is not concerned with his/her personality. There are different types of motivation such as achievement motivation, affiliation motivation, competence motivation, power motivation, and attitude motivation.

Motivation is based on three specific aspects such as the arousal of behavior, the direction of behavior, and persistence of behavior. Arousal of behavior involves what activates human behavior and direction of behavior is concerned with what directs behavior towards a specific goal. Persistence of behavior is concerned with how the behavior is sustained.

Various studies have been conducted to understand the different motives that drive a person to success. Motives are categorized into three: homeostatic motives, nonhomeostatic motives, and learned or social motives. Almost all the motives belong to one or more of these three groups.

Motives such as thirst, hunger, respiration, and excretion are included in homeostatic motives. Nonhomeostatic motives include required activities such as seeking shelter and curiosity about the environment. Curiosity, a desire for novelty, power, achievement, social affiliation, and approval are considered as learned motives or social motives.

Motivation is essential to be successful in any endeavor you undertake. It can be positive or negative, subtle or obvious, tangible or intangible. It is very important in workplaces as it plays a key role in the effective performance of employees. In industry, managers play a significant role in employee motivation. They use different motivation techniques to improve productivity, thereby promoting cooperation between employees and employers.

Learning is somewhat interrelated to motivation. In education, instructors also use motivation techniques in order to motivate the students to learn. It is essential to increase student motivation as it can make a student more competent. Also, motivation encourages self confidence and problem-solving skills.

Money, Motivation and Happiness

admin — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:20:38 +0000

The question of money as a motivator in the workplace is not new. Years of research, and countless books and articles on motivation include references to money. However, much of the focus on money and motivation points to superficial needs of people or points toward the immediate gratification that money seems to bring. The inquiry around money as a motivator must be explored more deeply if one is to truly understand the nature of the so-called relationship between money and motivation.

There are a number of perspectives relating to money and motivation. Some of these are:

1. “I’m not making as much money as I’d like (the “starving artist” concept), but I absolutely love my work, or the flexibility, or the control I have, or the opportunity for creativity, etc.”

2. “I need to be in this salary range, make this much money, because I need to be seen as “somebody” as opposed to “nobody” in my circle of friends, acquaintances, family, etc. who view “money” as a merit badge of some kind.”

3. “It’s not the money, per se, but what the money “gets” me….i.e., possessions, stuff, materialism, etc., pointing again, for some, to “being somebody” and being recognized, and gaining self-recognition, based on their material stuff.”

4. “I need more and more money as I’ll never have enough, reflecting the “your expenses always rise to meet your income” syndrome…as I said to an attorney client of mine, “If you feel you cannot live on 2 million dollars a year, what makes you think you can live on 3 million?”

5. Unconsciously filling the psycho-emotional “hole” of lack and deficiency…which subsumes one or more of the above…and is the driver of the obsession with having money and needing more money, and what money “gets” one in order to feel (albeit fleetingly) whole and complete. The illusion that money provides a sense of self, or a sense of one’s worth or value.

At the end of the day, I, for one, subscribe to the intrinsic notion of motivation, that motivation is driven by one’s values and so it’s important to explore one’s values and from where one’s values emanate…from one’s True and Real Self, one’s Inner Core or from ego-driven needs for control, recognition and security…misguided values, the relentless pursuit of which, almost always leads to a living (certainly not a life) mired in the self-sabotaging thinking and behaviors reflecting frustration, resentment, anger, hate, rage, entitlement, misguided choices, and the feeling of never having or being enough.

When one comes from one’s core values, one’s Inner Sense of what is important in life and living, then intrinsic, or self-motivation, is at the heart of a life well-lived, at work, at home and at play…and is at the heart of creativity, self-management, self-responsibility, healthy behavior (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, social, financial). Money, in this sense, has a different emotional and psychological energy around it, a softer energy, not unlike the energy reflected in one who says, “I love my work and I can’t believe I get paid for doing this.”

Many folks, in the relentless pursuit of “money” actually lose sight of what it was in the first place that got their juices flowing…having the corner office occludes the initial love of the work, obtaining the title interferes with one’s initial love of mentoring and supporting others…that the relentless pressure to make and have more money becomes more important than the joy one used to experience when one was focused on one’s love of the work itself. Losing one’s way along the way. The mid-life crisis…that now starts at 30.

Money as a driver then obscurates the clarity of one’s choices and one often makes unfortunate and self-sabotaging choices when controlled by money. I, for one, see this all the time in my work with clients…some who have made self-defeating choices in their work life, social life and spiritual life because the lens with which they viewed their world and their place in the world had become “green.”

For many of those who believe that “money” is the sign of success, or that money is what it takes to be “somebody”, etc., long-term success is often unattainable; it’s the “Sisyphean approach to living.

For many folks, it’s when they have experienced enough anger, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, terror, and loneliness, that reflected their need for money, and more money, and more money, that they then have the real motivation to change and adapt a life and lifestyle that is true Values-based, values that emanate from their True and Real Self, where money is important, but not an obsession (conscious or unconscious).

Motivation from this place is much different. Motivation from this place is not bounded by internalized pressures to have more, by rigid inner structures or beliefs, by paralyzing self-criticism that one is not (fill in the blank) for lack of enough money (whatever that is). That one’s true worth and value is not financially driven. That one’s purpose in life and the meaning one derives from work is intrinsically driven from one’s Inner Core Values.

From this place, one comes to one’s world of work or play from the perspective of a whole person, as one whose choices, volitions, motivations and intentions are driven by a freedom that was heretofore restricted and constricted by the “value” of money.

Finally, I have crossed paths with folks who feel that money allows them to be autonomous. Me, I see just the opposite. That money has forced many of these folks to live in an emotional and psychological prison whose bars are the self-defeating, self-sabotaging and controlling beliefs and behaviors driving these folks to do, be, and have in a way that forces them into a lifestyle (again, not a life) mimicking the lifestyles of the folks living in their prisons on either side of them…the illusion of autonomy, not the actions of one living from the place of one’s True and Real self.

From this Inner Self, the energy of “I am”, “I can”, “I will”, “I have”, “I choose”, “I love”, “I create” and “I enjoy”, that is, motivation and intention, flows with a sense of purposefulness, ease, grace, settledness and grounding that does not have a “price tag.”

Achievement Motivation

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:26:02 +0000

Over the years, behavioral scientists have noticed that some people have an intense desire to achieve something, while others may not seem that concerned about their achievements. This phenomenon has attracted a lot of discussions and debates. Scientists have observed that people with a high level of achievement motivation exhibit certain characteristics. Achievement motivation is the tendency to endeavor for success and to choose goal oriented success or failure activities.

Achievement motivation forms to be the basic for a good life. People who are oriented towards achievement, in general, enjoy life and feel in control. Being motivated keeps people dynamic and gives them self-respect. They set moderately difficult but easily achievable targets, which help them, achieve their objectives. They do not set up extremely difficult or extremely easy targets. By doing this they ensure that they only undertake tasks that can be achieved by them. Achievement motivated people prefer to work on a problem rather than leaving the outcome to chance. It is also seen that achievement motivated people seem to be more concerned with their personal achievement rather than the rewards of success.

It is generally seen that achievement motivated people evidenced a significantly higher rate of advancement in their company compared to others. Programs and courses designed, involves seven “training inputs.” The first step refers to the process through which achievement motivation thinking is taught to the person. The second step helps participants understand their own individuality and goals. The third assist participants in practicing achievement-related actions in cases, role-plays, and real life. A fourth refers to practicing of achievement-related actions in business and other games. A fifth input encourages participants to relate the achievement behavior model to their own behavior, self-image, and goals. The sixth program facilitates participants to develop a personal plan of action. Finally, the course provides participants with feedback on their progress towards achieving objectives and targets.

Achievement motivation as a branch of study has greatly established its prominence. A number of companies are now training their employees in the same.
