7 down and dirty tricks to get you motivated fast!

7 down and dirty tricks to get you motivated fast!

We've all been there before. You know WHAT you 
need to do, but you just can't bring yourself to
do it.
 
You feel... STUCK. ugh.
 
Well, here are seven down-and-dirty, quick-and-
easy tricks you can use to GET MOTIVATED, in 
no time flat...
 
...drumroll please...
 
#1: Rock Out! Grab your headphones and your
favorite 8-track tape and turn up the volume. Make
sure it's a song that will really get you pumped
up.
 
#2: Move it, buddy! Ever heard the phrase,
"Motion creates emotion?" Well, now you have, so 
do it! Go for a jog, jump on a bike, or just go for a 
brisk walk and get the blood flowing.
 
#3: Go Zen! Find a quiet place and meditate.
Spend 5 or 10 minutes and completely relax,
focus on your breathing and silence
your mind.
 
#4: Visualize It! What's your motivating driver?
That new sports car? Request a catalogue from the 
dealer.  A vacation to Tuscany? Print out a picture 
from the Intertubes. Now tape it to your wall and
feel the excitement!
 
#5: Go Public! Want to really get your butt moving?
Have your friends hold you accountable. Jump on
Facebook and tell others about your BIG goal. Now
update them on your progress once per day.
 
#6: Zoom Out! Take a second to see the big picture.
Doing the mundane, everyday work may stink but
if it's leading you to your BIG goal then it will 
all be worth it. Stop and think about what you're 
working toward.
 
#7: Get Yer Blood Boilin'! Take a few minutes and 
write down 10 things that will happen if you 
DON'T get motivated. (No good, right?!)
Now, rip that paper to shreds and write down 
ONE thing you're going to do TODAY that will
take you in the right direction.
