This is a quick guide on how I stay motivated throughout the day. This can be used at any time of the day. All you need for this is the Notes app on your phone. (I recommend using your phone notes rather than pen and paper so you can look at it any time)
Open the notes app and title it "Benefits of Achieving My Goals" or "Reasons I Must Achieve My Goals"
once you have your title just start writing the first things that come to mind when you visualize your success. Just keep writing your reasons down until you can't think of anymore. I was able to write down 40+.
Here are some examples of some Rewards I wrote for my goal of financial freedom:
- Retire my parents
- Never have the stress of being poor
- No 9-5
- Able to network with other entrepreneurs
- Dress Properly
- Able to invest in my health and education
- Never have the stress of being broke
- etc
Now that you have written down the positives of achieving your goals. Now focus on the negative. Focus on what your life would look like if you never accomplish your goal. Write down everything that would make you angry, unhappy, and unfulfilled.
some examples of not achieving financial freedom:
- Constant finacial stress
- Take orders from a boss
- Hard time providing for yourself and your family
- Hard to pursue your interests
- etc
You can do this with any goal you have.
Now that this is in your notes you can come back to it at any point. So whenever you don't feel like doing your work or procrastinating just open your notes and read through what you wrote down and visualize yourself on each side and what your life would be like.
