Fill Up Your Motivational Toolbox
Posted by Theo McLanahan at Aug 21st, 2008 in Personal Development
There are days when working from home can be very challenging. You may be under a tight deadline and it seems that a new obstacle creeps up at every opportunity. Perhaps your business isn’t moving as fast as you had hoped and you’re ready to throw in the towel. Whatever has you ready to give up, don’t let it win. Instead, grab your motivational toolbox and get pumped up.
Ripping apart negative and self defeating feelings of anxiety and stress are the job of your motivational toolbox. It should be chalked full of books, emails, videos, training, and pictures that you can whip out in those especially stressful moments of particular need. These tools might be tangible objects or digital media.
Audio trainings are great to listen to for motivation. They are quite easy to find on the Internet as more and more people are embracing audio technology on their websites. Another benefit is that you can simply download the audio to your MP3 player and go for a walk, which will get your heart pumping and help lower your stress. There are many Internet Talk Radio programs to choose from.
Save the emails you receive from your clients that explain what a terrific job you performed for them. When you are having a bad day, take a moment to read through some of them. This will be a great confidence booster and get you ready to tackle your next project.
Emails from a mentor describing their personal experiences of overcoming difficulties can be a great support on rough days at work. These inspirational and motivational words are sure to help you carry on.
Looking at an inspiring picture or photo can also help stir up motivation. If you find a picture that inspires you, save it to your computer’s desktop. Perhaps it is a picture of an athlete winning a race or a completing a hike up a mountain.
Personal photos of your grandparents when they were young or your high school portrait can be equally stimulating.
Hand made cards or pictures that your children have created can also be a great motivator. You may not always feel confident, but in their eyes, you are the best at what you do.
