Motivating yourself to excel at your job or to be an
example to your employees, should not be something you do
only when the spirit moves you. It's an ongoing process
that should include every facet of your business life. This
means your mental attitude, physical well-being and
appearance, work atmosphere, your interaction with others
(clients and employees alike), and your off-the-job
environment.
Motivational experts get paid big bucks to tell
professionals, striving for success, that they must
constantly examine these factors. How do you do that?
Follow the 5 tips that follow, and watch the changes.
1. Maintain a Positive Attitude - Let's realize that life
is only 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to
it. We're responsible for our own actions and attitudes,
and changing them when appropriate. When you're around
people/things that are uplifting and positive, you feel
that way. You have more confidence in yourself, and know
you can change whatever needs changing. If you can make
your workplace such a place you'll find happier workers and
higher production. You might even find your employees look
forward to coming to work!
2. Leave Personal Troubles Home - Everyone has problems,
but they don't belong at work. Turn your attention and
energy entirely to your on-the-job tasks. This will
actually be good for you because you'll get a mental break
from your troubles.
3. Create Positive Affirmations - The reason for writing
goals for your business is the same as creating positive
affirmations on paper. What your eyes see and ears hear,
your mind will believe. Try it! After you've written them
down, read them aloud to yourself - and do it every morning
when you get into work. You'll be amazed at what happens.
Come up with a set of new ones every month. Statements
such as, "I'm an important and valuable person," or "I know
I'll make good use of my time today." Repeating them out
loud everyday at a set time will help reinforce positive
actions.
4. Make Sure Break Times Are Really Break Times - This is
an area where most bosses/entrepreneurs fall down. You
become so intense about the project or situation you're
working on that you don't ease up. Thinking that it'll be
solved in the next few seconds, and then you'll get a cup
of coffee can lead you right up to quitting time.
Regularly adhering to a specified break schedule, even if
you're the boss, releases the tension. If you work on a
computer this is even a greater problem because before you
realize it - you've been working in that same position for
hours. The best answer to this is to set yourself a
reminder on your appointment calendar for every 2 hours,
and let the computer reminder chime send you the alert to
move around.
5. Exercise, Exercise, Exercise - I know that lately it
seems that "exercise" is the cure-all to every physical
ailment or your love life, but despite that there is some
truth to that ugly word. By "exercise" I don't mean that
you should go out and join a gym and spend your lunch-time,
3-days-a-week there working out. What is really beneficial
and workable is that at those chiming alerts from your
computer, get up and walk around your desk or room. Maybe
go outside and get the mail and enjoy the sunlight (if
you're an entrepreneur that has a home office), or just get
up and do a few stretches. Concentrated, tense thinking -
typing - plotting plans - or whatever your work, makes all
those muscles tighten up and knot up. Then when we move we
"ooh" and "ouch" because we've knotted up into a ball of
tension. Periodic stretching, even at our desk, or just
getting up and walking over to the window and getting a
different view can help. One of the greatest disservice
modern business décor has done to us, is making our offices
pristine, sleek, unencumbered spaces. There is nothing
more relaxing than getting up from your desk and walking
over to a peaceful, serene, seascape or pastoral painting
and just drinking it in visually. Momentarily transporting
your mind out of work and into that place does wonders. A
few good paintings and less shiny chrome in offices would
benefit us all.
It only takes a little concentrated effort on our part to
keep motivated and productive, which leads to success. I
know you're going to hate hearing this, but it's true
anyway - and that is, "WHEN LIFE GIVES YOUR LEMONS - MAKE
LEMONADE!"
