Sustain Motivation Over the Long Haul
by Jane Powell
“Do you lack motivation?”
Does it grow tougher to quit smoking, to start that diet, to workout, get projects done or follow through on goals and decisions? If so, it’s time to evaluate your self-motivation.
Motivation through negative self-talk, like, “I am so fat, what’s the point in dieting,” “I have to do this whether I like it or not,” or “I will never be loved until after I reach this goal,” may get you started, but it won’t sustain you in the long run.
Motivation for the long haul comes when you learn to truly appreciate what you have already accomplished and value your previous successes. When you embrace this frame of mind, you’ll find you’re internally motivated to accomplish more. And, that can change motivation into accomplishment!

I promise myself To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything, and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side,
so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

If you're not making much progress, it's time to give yourself a boost. Remind yourself why.
Remind yourself why you chose the path you are on. Remind yourself why you selected the priorities that you now follow.
Remind yourself why you chose the path you are on. Remind yourself why you selected the priorities that you now follow.
Perhaps it is time to focus on a new destination. Or perhaps you could simply use a good, clear reminder of what's truly important to you.
It can be all too easy to get caught up and dragged down by the day-to-day business of life. Take time to regularly give yourself the benefit of the big picture.
Take time to treasure the things you treasure. Admire, appreciate and be inspired by all that is beautiful to you.
The best of what can be is yours to create and experience. Remind yourself why, and make it so.
