The biggest problems on goals is not setting a GOAL DATE.

Make sure that your goal date is not a form of procrastination while manipulating your conscious to fool your subconscious mind. When you set a goal date you need to speak in the present tense and make it very descriptive. If your like me then i always put sh!t off until the last moment. but i get it done WHY?

BECAUSE THERE IS A SENSE OF URGENCY THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOAL DATE! Can you remember back in High school or College when you were faced with a paper to write I'm guessing you took it upon yourself to finish your paper at the last closing min Huh? But there is a lesson here that is that you ACCOMPLISHED YOUR GOALS BEFORE THE DEADLINE, BECAUSE THE URGENCY THAT WAS ASSOCIATED THE PROJECT.

Set a goal date and make it Very detailed, descriptive, and apply a goal date. But make sure how you phrase it.

A goal date is not "ill stop smoking by the end of next month" because every month will be the next month therefore your urgency is not met but your goal is.

Instead "I will quit smoking by the end of October 1, 2008 by 10 pm and will start this program Today at 1:30 pm" See the difference

Start running! But dont ask me how to get motivated to actually start running...

Coffee! Tea! A nice brisk walk early in the morning and some sort of breakfast.

You can't get motivated if you don't:-

. BELIEVE
. DREAM
. & SET GOALS

Get excited, jump up and down, whoohooo I am going to .... what ever it is,

Write down all Goals, personal/financial/spiritual what are the others LLL?

Then pick the one that you reckon you want to achieve first and concentrate on that one only so you can fall into a pattern and start to achieve it, before trying another one, or should i say adding another one in.

The beauty is once you "start" to achieve a goal you get real excited as it's working and your motivation climbs and climbs.

You can do it.

For me to be motivated to do something it has to be something or someone that strikes really close to my heart, something that fires a kind of desperation in me. That's how I find the will to get out of bed every day and fight.

First, ask yourself "what do you want" - and here's the tough part, tell yourself the truth. What do you really want you life to be like.

If you don't know where you want to go, you can't know how to get there.

inspiration does not come while we wait, it comes when we do...

this same belief can be applied to getting motivated...one of the most inspiring motivators is to be around like-minded individuals.

want to work out? Go to a gym...cant afford a gym, go walk in a park...dont live near a park, cross the street or walk around the block.

want to draw a picture...take an art class, cant afford classes...pull out a piece of paper and nice soft lead pencil

just starting something can often inspire continuation and when you actually complete what you start, its most gratifying and ultimately inspiring and THAT keeps you motivated...
