How to Get and Stay Motivated?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_Fowler] Mark Fowler

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." - Zig Ziglar.

Motivation is a determining factor in how you view life, and in how you experience life. Once a person is inspired and motivated, the most important thing they can do is keep that positive momentum going. Listed below are several tips to assist you in maintaining a positive, fulfilling life.

Tip #1: Stay Optimistic

Don't let pessimistic individuals, worldly events, and negative news generated by mainstream media dampen your spirit. As often as possible, replace negative news or media programs with positive, uplifting ones. You cannot change the past, but you can change your future by choosing to live a motivated, inspired life.

Tip #2: "Seize the Day"

It is depressing, unhealthy and de-motivational to feel guilty and (or) blame yourself for events that occurred in the past. The past is simply that... the past. Let painful memories go and focus on the present. Savor every moment of every day, and look towards a magnificent future filled with love, life, opportunity and abundance that YOU will create.

Tip #3: Choose uplifting activities

Strive to include enjoyable and edifying activities into your day. Whether it be a walk on the beach or in the park, listening to your favorite music or your favorite motivational speaker as you drive to work in the morning, spending time exercising or meditating, gardening or enjoying your favorite hobby, spend this time knowing that it is time well spent. It is time that will "feed your spirit", "recharge your batteries", and motivate you to do, desire and "be" more than you ever thought possible.

Tip #4: Change your perspective

The power of positive thinking can have a dramatic affect on your life. Albert Einstein was quoted as saying, "The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe". Coming from one of the most brilliant minds that existed, that is a profound statement. Make a conscious decision to see the good in this world, in everyone and everything. You will be amazed at how this shift in your perspective can influence your mood, your mind and your life.

Tip #5: Motivational Mentors

Find motivational mentors and (or) role models that live the lifestyle you desire to create. Look for individuals, (living, or those who have passed on) who demonstrate qualities of compassion, generosity, optimism and motivation. These souls typically demonstrate or demonstrated the ability to live their lives unaffected by adverse circumstances or individuals. They consistently exhibit or exhibited a passion for and in their beliefs. Use their spirit to motivate yours as you walk your path.

Tip #6: Defeat is not an option

Never give up on your dreams. Obstacles and adversity will arise, and may try to hold you back for a while, but they can not determine the outcome of a situation or your life. The only thing that can defeat you is YOU. If you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or frustrated, don't give up; close your eyes, take a deep breathe, go within and focus on the life that you deserve and are entitled to.

Remember, "the sun is always shining behind the clouds" - Dr. Wayne Dyer
