Once your engine is running momentum will keep you going but what do you do if you feel stuck and unable to begin?

You need to learn how to run your brain!

All of that vast potential is not being used because you do not know how to activate it. When you discover how easy it is to become motivated you will be amazed that something that once seemed so complicated can actually be so simple.

Here is something you can do right now to experience how your mind works - it is an application of research carried out by behavioral scientists in 1970´s.

Think of something you are highly motivated to do and choose something else you want to get done which you are not motivated to do.

Now compare how you represent these two experiences in your mind in terms of pictures, sounds and feelings.

Take task you need to get done and change way you think about it by giving picture, sound and feeling same qualities as motivated experience. i.e. picture size and color, sound volume and pitch, intensity of feelings.

This is difficult to do first time you try it but it gets easier with practice. When you learn more about peak performance you will be able to do this in a matter of minutes. And go from feeling apathetic to feeling energized and highly motivated.

This time spend learning how to run your brain will transform quality of your life even more quickly than you can imagine.

Only ask for advice from people who are qualified to help you. When you act on good advice you know you are doing right things and staying motivated will be easy.

Whereas when someone with no relevant knowledge or no sense of possibility advises you it makes sense to be unmotivated.

Why take action on bad advice? Why even try if that person cannot see things working out?

Avoid this negative world view by carefully deciding who to get advice from.

3. Switch Off Your Own Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts can be like a virus that just keeps on spreading. If people around you are negative it is only normal for you to lose a little of your own enthusiasm and drive.

You may even start to have a few nagging negative thoughts of you own.

Be careful!

One such negative thought leads to another, and another...

You need to switch off these negative thoughts ASAP or else your motivation will fizzle away to nothing.
