How to Motivate Yourself

Motivation. I love that word. It's so motivating and inspiring. So what motivates you? What makes you spring out of bed in the morming ready to take on the world, and what happens when you're totally unmotivated? What happens when you're tired, restless, worried and can't even put a smile on your face let alone get magically motivated and raring to go? Okay, so here's what you do. When you're in a funk, think of this acronym and see if it helps:

M is for move, take action, take one small step, whatever it may be.
O is for octopus. Think of what you would do if you had eight arms and could do eight things at once.
T is for Tap, Tap Into What you Love To Do
I is for invitation. Invite yourself to your own party
V is for Va Va Voom. That's you all the way
A is Accelerate. Put the pedal to the medal and pretend that you've got an hour to achieve your goal
T is for time, it's ticking so make it happen
I is for incredible. That's who you are when you're living on purpose.
O is for ownership. Take responsiblity for your own happiness and it'll happen
N is for NOW. Do it now and I know you'll be successful!
