\"kickThis morning, one of my star clients (you\u2019re all stars) confessed that she was having a difficult time keeping her focus, determination, commitment and motivation up front and central to her day.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Who amongst us hasn\u2019t felt that way from time to time?<\/p>\n

With that in mind, I\u2019d like to offer up a quote from Zig Ziglar, who said it best.<\/p>\n

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. ~ Zig Ziglar<\/em><\/p>\n

We have to renew our enthusiasm, motivation, Joie de Vie on a daily basis!\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

Here, from Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>, the patron saint of permanent fat removal and Janice Taylor, Life, Wellness and Happiness Coach<\/a> (that\u2019s me) 7 Ways to Motivate!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Have a Vision.<\/b><\/p>\n

The root of the word motivation is \u201cmotive.\u201d The definition of\u201cmotive\u201d is \u201cA reason to act.\u201d\u00a0 You need a reason to act. You need both an external and internal vision of the new you. You need to be moving towards a compelling future! What\u2019s your reason to act?<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Be Passionate.<\/b><\/p>\n

Motivation is not task driven. It\u2019s all about emotion. It\u2019s fire driven. You\u2019ve got to fuel your passion (just like you have to fuel your body and fuel your car!). You have to set yourself a goal that connects to an all consuming desire. What moves you?<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Stay Focused.<\/b><\/p>\n

The more focused you are the more results you\u2019ll be getting. The more results, the more motivated. It\u2019s called the \u2018upward spiral.\u2019\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry about getting dizzy. You\u2019re getting lighter and lighter.\u00a0 Keep on spiraling, Up, UP, UP!!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Build on Your Successes.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you permanently remove a pound, be proud. When you drop a size, get fired up. Woo hoo! Keep on going!<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Acknowledge All that You Do Well.<\/b><\/p>\n

We have a tendency to negate our wins by focusing on the minor slips of the day. If you said \u201cNo, thank you\u201d four times. \u201c<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Rejoice.<\/b><\/p>\n

What else did you do today that was stupendous? (It could be as simple as filling up a bowl with fresh fruit for the kitchen counter. Filling the room with good energy.)<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Positive Messages.<\/b><\/p>\n

Read positive books, listen to good music, anything with a positive message. Fill your brain with stories of successful people. It will take hold. (Without question, do not watch the news before you go to bed.) Think positive!<\/p>\n
