Episode Highlights:
- Most of the time personal growth happens gradually. It is a very organic growth process.
- Focus on your intrinsic motivators. Get centered and find your motivation within yourself. These creative ways are all about going inward and sparking your own inspiration.
- The first way to motivate yourself is to put on your creative hat literally. Having objects that we give meaning for specific activities signals our brain that it is time for that activity to occur.
- Tip #2: Pay yourself a compliment. Ideally, the compliment has something to do with the work you are stepping into. It puts you in the mindset to create more value by showing up today.
- If it feels disingenuous to give yourself a compliment at the moment, let your clients do it for you. Go to your website and look at the testimonials you have gotten or reflect back on recent conversations with your clients.
- Generating empowering thoughts will create an emotional vibration in your body that has positive energy behind it coming from a positive self-image.
- Tip #3: Gamifying your to-dos. Playing games stimulates your creative brain and it also makes work more fun. Set a 15-minute timer and make it a game. There is no losing in this game!
- Tip #4: Give yourself the "Honey I am home" speech. Ask your future self to share the best of today's moments with you.
- Tip #5: Give yourself a moving pep talk. A talk that will get your blood pumping and fill you with this "I got this" energy. Moving your body can break up the stagnant energy.
- Make sure your mindset is focused on thinking the thoughts that you want to be thinking while your body is moving in a way that feels good.
