Keeping Yourself Motivated

As a manager you have to be motivated yourself in order to motivated others.

1. Regularly review what you have achieved each day, month and year; set SMART goals for yourself.

(S pecific, M easurable, A greed, R ealistic, T ime specific)


2. Develop a personal reward system for small, medium, large and milestone success; contract with yourself that you will always give the best.


3. Regular review your personal goals and targets; go to everything you can.


4. Develop a mental picture of yourself doing and achieving what you aspire to; give everything you do total focus.


5. Keep a success file and record all your achievements; rejoice and celebrate success; keep learning from your experience (your successes as well as your failures)


6. Look after your health by eating, resting and exercising appropriately; look after your body so that you are fit, alert and healthy.


7. Ensure that you self-talk is positive; continually visualize success.


8. Keep a confidence file, a list of everything you like and admire about yourself.

9. Use positive affirmations and say them to yourself regularly.


10. Avoid making comparisons with others.
