5 Tactics To Winning The Mental Motivation

Battle

This presentation is a part of the “Diary of a Female Over-Achiever”

Empowerment series

1. Never mind that you're not this or

that. It all begins with little excuses like “I don’t feel good”, “I am not that smart”, “I don't have enough faith in myself”. Then we start believing in these things like they are written in stone, and then these negative beliefs become a part of our system, a part of whom we are.

Let’s forget about what we are not... And start focusing on what we ARE.

2. Don’t give a second's worth of

recognition on these negative

self-talks. Whenever we hear that part of our brain tell us things that can pull us

down, we have to make the effort to shut it out and listen to that

less powerful, but oftentimes ignored voice that says “we

can!”

3. Try to have a little faith - In ourselves, in what we can do, and the things we

believe in

It doesn't matter if we fail; everyone goes through that hurtful

process. What matters is that every time we do,

we bounce back, rebuild, and give the world a

better us. 

4. Be very careful when choosing

sides.

We can either talk ourselves into doing the task or not, which means we can either be a part of success that one part of our head says we can be, or take part in the downfall the other side of our head tries to go to. We have to always take that side of our brain that believes in our dreams, that cares about our well being, and pushes us to be the person we are trying to be.

BIG

Big dreams inspire. It makes people work harder, with even more passion. What would happen to people if they have nothing to shoot for? Nothing. If there are no Olympic medals and several hundred Olympians to compete against, the champions will never exist. If Mount Everest is not the highest mountain, there will be no mountaineers and hikers who struggle everyday to reach the peak.

If we don’t dream big, we would stay forever in that nook of the world where everything is mediocre, where sense of achievement is an abstract concept, and where success is all but inexistent.
