I just finished watching one of the greatest movies of all time Rocky 3 and it has given me the idea to write my next post. In my previous post I discussed What is motivation? So, in this post I am going to write about How to strengthen your motivation.
But, before I start, let me briefly tell you about the movie first.
Rocky 3 is a 1982 American film written and directed by, and starring Sylvester Stallone as the title character. Five years after the fight at the end of the previous film, Rocky has become the heavyweight champion and a major celebrity.

If you have a major goal, it would be a good idea if you split it into several minor goals, each small goal leading to your major goal. By dividing your goal into several, smaller goals, you will find it easier to motivate yourself, since you will not feel overwhelmed by the size of your goal and the things you have to do. This will also help you feel that the goal is more feasible, and easier to accomplish. Make your goal very clear. Writing it down will help.
Visualize your goal as already accomplished and close your mind to contrary thoughts.
While visualizing, feel the joy you will get upon accomplishing your goal.
Repeat affirmations and positive statements concerning your goal.
Read several times a day quotes that inspire you and create enthusiasm in you.
Whenever you have doubts, replace them with positive thoughts, and if this is difficult, engage yourself in doing something that diverts your attention to something else.
Read books or articles about people, who achieved success, especially in the area you want to excel.
Socialize with achievers and people with similar interests or goals, since motivation and positive attitude are contagious.
Never procrastinate anything. Procrastination leads to laziness, and laziness leads to lack of motivation.
Never give up, no matter how the situation
