How to motivate yourself? ........

A topic that has taken up too much of my thinking time as I have been confined to the house over the last 3 weeks! Yes, that's what I've been doing - thinking about it ... thinking about it ... and thinking about it ... aaaahh!!

So why has my thinking time not lead to doing something about it?

Good question. I think I have been on the downward spiral of inertia, and now it's time to wind back up onto the upward spiral of action.

So, my action is to change my thinking:

Away with downward spiral thinking:

I’m stuck in this chair!

How many times have I heard that story on 24 hour news coverage?

That’s another client I have had to let down because I cannot get to them.

Farmville again – yawn.....

“I feel terrible asking for help all the time”.

Call to action with:

What can I create whilst sitting here? I don’t often get that sort of time.

Great new books have just arrived from Amazon. What new inspiration can I get?

What can I do for my clients whilst I have planning time?

Call and ask them, then diarise a meeting when I am back on my feet.

Write a series of blogs. Time well spent now, so that I have material prepared for when I am back out and about finding little time to write.

“Thank you so much for all your help when I really need it”.

How do you get your motivation back when it has been waning?
