How can you stay motivated?

APPRECIATE YOURSELF & YOUR EFFORTS

We keep looking at all the things we have not accomplished.

The goals and the gap.

And then we get frustrated and overwhelmed.

And we give up.

The key is to shift your focus and appreciate the progress you've made.

APPRECIATE YOURSELF AND YOUR EFFORTS.

LOOK BACK AT HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME!

Reflect on your journey just as you would reminisce about a road trip or vacation. Enjoy the memories, photos and videos, the friends you met, conversations you had and the various experiences.

Look back: Write down your accomplishments over the past month(s) or year(s).

Write down the challenges you conquered and the effort you invested in learning, growing and enhancing different aspects of your life—whether it's your career, business, wellness, sports performance, or more.

Appreciate your efforts!

When we acknowledge our accomplishments and appreciate the effort invested, our brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter.
Dopamine makes us feel good and enhances our goal-directed behavior and motivation.

How do you appreciate yourself? Share your thoughts and favorite practices in the comments below.

Do you suffer from Pronoia?

Good for you.

Celebrate.

People who suffer from Pronoia feel that the world around them conspires to do them good.

John Perry Barlow, American writer, poet and activist defined Pronoia as "the suspicion the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf."

Isn’t that much better than Paranoia?

Unfortunately, far more often I encounter people suffering from mild to severe Paranoia. They believe that people or entities are conspiring against them.

So, in case you did not know, Pronoia describes a state of mind that is the opposite of Paranoia.

The word appeared in 1980 for the first time in a publication by the writer Phillip K Dick.

In 1982, Dr. Golder published a more scientific / psychology-based paper:

“Pronoia is the positive counterpart of paranoia.

It is the delusion that others think well of one.

Actions and the products of one's efforts are thought to be well received and praised by others.”

Just take this short sentence: “IT IS THE DELUSION THAT OTHERS THINK WELL OF ONE!”

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all suffered from Pronoia?

I believe we can!

Let's enjoy Pronoia.

Did you know that you have many, many opportunities in your schedule that you actually don't utilize?

Every season is a busy time for everyone - work, business, school, sports, education....you name it.

How can you find more time? Do more? Accomplish more?

I am not talking about multitasking - which does not work.

I am talking about adding intentions to what you are doing.

For example, I have a drive of 25 minutes to my favorite destination, which is the barn where my horse is.

Instead of driving and listening to the radio or negative news, I use this time for gratitude.

I'm so grateful for the beautiful view I have.

I think about all the things I'm grateful for.

I count them.

I say them out aloud.

I get myself in such a positive mood that I look forward to my 25 min of gratitude.

So, it's not going to be a drive I have to do.

No, it's 25 minutes of gratitude.

Or, I use this time to get clear on what I want to work on with my horse.

Setting the intention for my ride.

You too can use the time you have.

For example, your driving time with your kids.

Together you can count your blessings or set intentions for the day.

Or, set intentions for the soccer game you are driving them to and what they want to work on during the game.

Start your day by adding intentions while you are getting ready.

Tell yourself in the mirror how much you appreciate yourself and let others know how much you appreciate them.

Even while exercising, cooking or cleaning you can inspire yourself with positive affirmations.

There are so many different things you can do when you use your time wisely so you can increase your energy, feel joyful and all of this will bring you amazing success.

Your inner critic runs your life.

The story you are telling yourself about what you can or cannot do.

The excuses you find not to pursue what you truly want, "I don't have the skills... I cannot do it... I am too old/ young"....and so on.

And it's not your voice.

What other people told you a long time ago and your experiences are all deep-seated in your thinking, inner dialogue and every cell of your body. It's a constant inner dialogue.

Start listening to yourself.

Embrace the message because when you know what's on your mind all the time and running your life, you can change it.

Eustress, the "good stress," is the exhilarating feeling when faced with inspiring challenges. Distress leaves us feeling overwhelmed.

Ulrike is Wonderful!! Positive, positive, positive, full of insight, tolerant of others, mindful of others, patient…she listens intently and can subtly, gently redirect and teach you to redirect your own mindset. In both my professional life and my personal life (with and without equine partners), she has helped me with calming mind chatter and redirecting energy towards calmer mindfulness, and with positivity. I appreciate her and think she adds tremendous insight and worth to the Pain-free Riding course. ~ April Steele, www.PainFreeRiding.com member
