Jan 23 – How are you showing up? Mentally, that is? When you first wake up in the morning to begin your day, is it focused on all that you are excited to get done or on all that hasn't gotten done? Are you jumping out of bed with anticipation or crawling out of bed with dread? Are you happy and gratified for the new day, or overwhelmed even before beginning it? How do you feel midway through the day? Do you need a boost of energy? Are you already lamenting what still hasn't gotten done? How...

Jan 15, 2018 - Are you being specific enough? As you contemplate the goals you have set for this year, are they specific enough that they inspire your next steps towards achieving them? When you seek assistance or support from others, are you being specific enough in what exactly you need them to do and why? When you provide your own answers and responses, are you being clear and specific as to the point you are trying to make? Vagueness is the killer of motivation and understanding. As you set...

April 17 – Are you getting to it? Is there something you have been meaning to get to or pursue? What is your reason that you haven’t? Is it a legitimate reason or just an excuse? Don’t allow excuses to keep you from doing what you really would like to be doing. If it is important to where you want to be, then tackle what may be stopping you and leap forward. Open up your mind to options so the reasons can be pushed aside to make way for your action. Take an MM&I Moment to list your...

Do you feel that you are spreading yourself thin in all that is on your plate and it is wearing on you and your ability to be motivated and focused? If you are running on empty, then what is it that is draining you mentally, physically, emotionally? And what do you need to fill yourself back up? Is it support? Is it time?

July 11, 2016 – Are you helping others see? Is your vision clear enough to inspire and motivate others to support and help you? Is your passion strong enough for others to feel and embrace it right along with you? If you are frustrated by a lack of engagement or support from others in what you are trying to accomplish, it may be because you are not effectively sharing your vision and passion behind what could be realized. Take an MM&I Moment to assess how you could better communicate your...

May 2, 2016 – Are you "do-thinking"? Are you actually doing things that will get you where you ultimately want to go? OR are you stuck in a mindset of wishing it were so, taking no action to actually create momentum to get there? Your ability to think and imagine the possibilities is only as powerful as your ability to take action and make those possibilities come to life moment-to-moment, and day in, day out. Whatever you think you want to be doing, do something right now to move you forward...

By staying on task and on target through purpose-driven motivation, you not only are able to achieve more, you are also able to engage others in helping you achieve...

April 20, 2015 - Are you thinking too small? Are you finding that the goals you set are easily achieved or they simply don't excite you to begin with? What makes a goal exhilarating is in the journey and effort that is involved to reach it. If your goals are merely tasks with deadlines, then no wonder you find no passion or motivation associated with them. When you stretch yourself to set goals that go beyond the realm of your current abilities, reality or comfort zone, you ignite within you...

Jan 6, 2014 - Are you feeling less motivated? Are you struggling because you are not motivated to do some of the work or tasks on your plate? Could it be because of an unclear purpose or undefined reasons behind the value in doing these things? Or is it that you need a reminder of your purpose and reasons? Not everything you do in order to achieve what you ultimately desire can be glamorous or exhilarating. Having a clear purpose and strong reasons are essential to staying motivated, especially...

28. October 2013

Oct 28, 2013 - Is frustration zapping your energy? Are you feeling drained because of a continuous flow of frustration you are experiencing from a variety of sources? Or is one particular situation affecting your morale and your motivation, which is causing you as much frustration with yourself as you feel about the circumstances causing you stress? While we cannot control what is thrown at us at any given minute to deal or cope with, we do have total control over how we respond, react and...
