Staying motivated in a busy world

Most of us have had moments when we feel motivated and empowered. It may have been after reading a book or listening to a motivational speaker. We all at some point have experienced that feeling of invincibility and empowerment. However, for most of us such a feeling is only occasional or temporary. It comes and goes. At one minute we are oozing with energy; feeling we can conquer our challenges and then the next moment we sink into despair. Thus we find that most of the times we are disorientated, demotivated and suffering from the so called blues.

Life’s daily pressures seem to overtake us and the genius inside of us lies dormant. We look at life situations and feel miserable and even though we know that we can overcome them, we cannot find the energy or strength to reach for solutions. We feel weak and disconnected from the Source and eventually we give up and succumb to a life of hopelessness.

How then can we stay motivated so that whatever life may throw at us, we can be able to rise up and reach for the strength within us. While we may not be able to go into forest retreats, we can through making use of what is available to us foster a constant attitude of invincibility. Below is a list of some resources which if incorporated into our daily routines can be very useful.

Daily motivators: you can receive these straight to your inbox. There are countless sites on the web which offer this service. A few of them are: As a man thinketh.net, the website for a course of miracles, Abraham Hicks, etc

YouTube: Whilst YouTube is famous for other things it is actually a very rich source of motivational material. You can listen to a number of clips from a diverse group of motivational speakers. The likes of Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Anthony Robbins, etc you name it and you are likely to find it on YouTube.

Hubbs: On this site you can read numerous scripts from a number of motivational writers. People like Christian D Larson, Florence Schovel Schinn etc. What’s more this site offers a lot of freebies, to include a 21 day Ecourse. You would think that just because it is free, it is of no value, but I have taken the course and I would tell you that it is priceless.

Science of Getting Rich (SOGR) website: This site is owned by Rebecca Fine and if you have read the Science of Getting Rich you will love this site. I got a free SOGR screensaver and it serves as a constant reminder, and helps keeps me uplifted.

So there you have it! There are a lot of resources we can use to help us stay motivated and connected to our inner self. Simple things like reading a motivational email each morning do help keep you on track. If you would like to stay motivated all the time, then you must understand that it is a continuous process and reading a motivational book once every year will only give you a glimpse of what you can be, but is likely not to be enough to keep you motivated all the time.
To stay in a constant state of motivation, then you must have constant reminders, constant motivators. It is important to feel motivated always because when we are motivated we feel good and when we feel good we attract more of that. How we feel has a lot to do with what we create and the movie The Secret places a lot of emphasis on the importance of feeling good.

I have pointed you in the right direction, and you can go ahead and explore a lot of ways which resonate with you and can help you stay motivated.
