The magical bracelet

The Magical bracelet

Do you believe in magic? The magical power that a single bracelet could have on your life?

You can become the lord of the bracelet...following a few super easy instructions! Go on.

Complaining is the second worst thing you can do to yourself. If you complain that you're complaining too much than...here's what you could do!

For this exercise you'll need some equipment: A bracelet.

Alternatively- use your watch- wear it on right hand!

Instructions:

Get a bracelet and wear it on your right hand. The goal of the exercise is to go a whole month without complaining. Every time you complain about something you're supposed to wear the bracelet on your left hand for the whole day! 

Alternatively you can wear seven little bracelets on your right hand- one for each day of the week. Every day that you complain about something- move one bracelet to the left hand. Look at what happens at the end of the week :)))

So, what did you achieve? How many days you had a bracelet on the right hand?

MOTIVATION 101

Motivation

How to be super motivated all the time?

In this post I'm going to share some secrets related to the magic of motivation. Secrets that have the power to transform your life. However, before I do that I'm gonna raise a hugely important issue. A one that concerns every single one of us.

Simply being motivated and doing seems great, and in fact it is- compared to not doing anything and staying in one place.

The initial work that we do in life coaching is not so much related to motivation itself, but

to the Direction that you're going to. 

Progressing in the wrong time,place and field can be equally unsatisfying as not progressing at all. 

What is that you really want?

If you didn't face the expectations of other people?

If it wasn't for the money?

If it wasn't for the acceptance?

If it wasn't for the approval?

If it wasn't for the image?

If it was the one thing that you would highly regret that you didn't do 20 years from now

Setting the right goal is the first and very important step in creating a strong sense of long lasting motivation. 

Being involved in something that you simply don't like will never, ever keep you in a natural state of motivation. 

Therefore, the first step will be- Define your direction!

What is that you really want?

 

Then the first and the most powerful technique to motivate yourself is by constantly reminding yourself that this goal you have is your first, or among the first priorities that you have. A needed condition for happiness. It will outweigh all excuses and will keep you moving.

I found out that so many people lack motivation- simply because they do things they'd rather not be doing. 

In a seminar that I attended they pointed out that motivation is needed when you DON'T want to do something.

This means that you need to "convince" yourself to do it with arguments- motivators. If you want to do something you just do it- no convincing and motivation needed. Do you need some special motivation to meet friends, eat pizza, or watch a movie? You get my point.

 

When motivating yourself to do something that you simply don't want to- that doubles the energy, because you first have to convince yourself about the reason to do it in the first place and then- motivate yourself. It's a waste of You!

What to do? 13 Techniques that simply DO work:

1. Set a priority- one or two

2. Always remind yourself that the priority X is above Y or Z

3. Find people with the same priority and meet them often. Ideally find someone to be your mentor.

4. Avoid as much as possible people who are passive, negative, discouraging, jealous or people that lower your energy levels, enthusiasm or productivity in any way.

5. Develop a preference towards action.

6. Practice punctuality in all goals that you set- do it today, not tomorrow!

7. As yourself- "Five years from now, what I'd like myself to have been doing right now?"

8.Exclude activities that bring too much cost and too little benefit.

9. Ask for help- find people who can give you advice or any type of help- support is essential!

10. Be ready for setbacks- be ready for the difficult days, for the days when you won't feel enthusiasm. Do not quit! It's just one of these days. We all have them. Keep going!!

11. Take a good rest! Every two hours make ten minutes breaks. Do not overwork- this leads to burnout which= lack of motivation!

12. Have fun!

The story of the little frogs

The story of the little frogs

 

 

 

Once upon a time in a land far away, hundreds of little tree frogs decided to hold a competition to see who could be the first to climb a high tower in the center of town. As the little frogs engaged in the competition, a large crowd gathered to watch, and began taunting them, shouting, “You won’t make it, it’s too difficult you silly frogs!”

 

 

 

 

Ten feet or so up the side of the tower some of the frogs dropped off, too tired to continue. The crowd continued to jeer and ridicule the frogs and at twenty feet up about half the frogs had fallen to the ground, only to have to listen to the crowd’s ugly recrimination, “See we told you it is just too difficult!”

 

 



At the thirty feet mark, all but one of the frogs had eventually fallen. This one little frog continued to the top of the tower even though the crowd kept jeering and yelling about the impossibility of completing the task. The frog climbed back down and of course all the other frogs gathered around him, wanting to know how he had gotten to the top when none of them had. The questions flew fast and furious and in all the clamour of noise, the little frog finally put his front leg up next to his ear and said, “I’m sorry I can’t hear a word you are saying because I’m deaf!”
