Staying motivated can be so tough at times, especially when personal life gets tough which can make life itself seem unbearable when you have so much going on. There are days where you just feel tired and you don't have the strength to move forward. I'm a wife, mother, and a BUSY entrepreneur and balancing it all drains me so bad that I had to come up with things that I can do on a daily basis to stay motivated and make sure that I don't give up or procrastinate when it comes to accomplishing my dreams (my vision)! I have listed some tips below and I hope that they can be beneficial to you as well! I wish you many blessings and success with your goals and dreams! ENJOY :-)
- Feed your mind everyday.
Read, watch and listen to inspiring and encouraging material everyday. Just a few minutes a day can make a huge difference and help you to stay focused on what’s important. There is enough distraction and discouragement everywhere around you. You are exposed to negativity all the time. Some of it is not in your control. What’s in your control is that you can make a deliberate effort to expose yourself to positive influences.

- Start the day with passion.
The first thing you do or say in the morning often has a huge effect on the rest of your day. When you get up in the morning remind yourself of your dreams and your why. Say positive things about how your day is going to be. For example, I often say “today is going to be so productive and it will be the best day of my life.” It’s going to be better than yesterday and I will do everything possible to achieve my dreams.” Expect the best and you will get the best. That is one of the secrets of daily motivation.

- Focus on your dreams.
Have a clear vision of what you want . If you really want something, it should be the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing you think about before you sleep. That is the minimum. You need to visualize this many more times during the day. What the mind continuously thinks about it brings about. Feed you mind the vision you have created every chance you get. With time, it will become effortless. You will not be able to separate yourself from your vision. It will become part of you. That’s when things start happening.

- Do. Do. Do.
One sure way to get demotivated is not to take any action. Do something everyday to get you closer to achieving your dreams. Little things count and momentum builds up. Inaction is probably the number one cause of frustration and failure for a lot of people. Take action today. Consistency is key!
- Be realistic
Don’t set unrealistic goals or expect too much too soon. If you do this you will feel that you are not getting anywhere and will be discouraged. Set out achievable daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals. This will help you to see the big picture and to understand how every small thing you do is adding to that picture. Please don't give up! Understand that anything great and worth having takes time!
- Be patient
Cliché, I know, but its true! Know that lasting success does not come overnight. Anything worth having is worth the wait. As long as waiting is not all you are doing! You have to do the work to see results! Remember these 3 P's - PRAYER, PATIENCE, AND PERSEVERANCE!
