Motivation and How to Get Motivated
By Remez Sasson

How many times have you started enthusiastically a weight loss program, began a bodybuilding or aerobics training program, or started learning a foreign language, only to stop after a short while?
Often, there is lack of motivation, or only a short-lived one.
Motivation has become a popular term nowadays. There are motivational coaches and speakers, and motivational books and articles. What is it actually, and why do you need it?
Motivation is a driving force. In order to accomplish anything, you need a driving force, otherwise nothing will happen. A wish is not strong enough to make you take action. A wish is a weak desire. Only a strong desire can drive you forward, to act and accomplish aims and goals.
In order to get motivated, you need to know exactly what it is that you want, to possess a strong desire, and to be willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goal.
It's easier to display motivation in connection with short-term goals. When it comes to long-term goals, it is not always possible to sustain the motivation for a longer period of time. This is why it is wiser to start with small goals, and after gaining experience with being motivated, you proceed to bigger goals.
If you desire to get a certain object, or accomplish a certain goal, but you don't feel motivated enough to act, it means that the desire or goal are not important enough. To be motivated to take action and do something in respect to your goal, you need to possess a strong desire.
Motivation has much to do with the emotions and the imagination, which means that if you want to increase it, you have to work on your feelings and imagination.
Tips to Increase Your Motivation:
1. Think and analyze your desire, to find out whether you really want to achieve it, and whether it is worth the effort and time.
2. Make your goal very clear. Writing it down will help.
3. Think often about your goal or desire.
4. Visualize your goal as already accomplished, and shut your mind to doubts and disbelief.
5. Read books or articles about the subject of your goal.
6. Read about people who have achieved success. This is quite inspiring.
7. Think often about the benefits you will gain by achieving your goal. This will increase your desire and motivation.
8. Visualize, and think about how you would feel after achieving your goal.
9. Repeat positive affirmations such as: "I have the desire and inner strength to achieve my goal". Repeat this affirmation often, with attention and belief.
10. Start taking small steps toward your goal right now. Don't wait for the right opportunity and time.

動力以及如何獲得動力
Remez Sasson
有多少次你開始熱心減肥計劃，開始健身或有氧訓練計劃，或開始學習一門外語，但僅維持一段時間就停止了？
通常情況下，這就是缺乏動力，或者說只是短期的動力。
動力已成爲時下流行的術語。有激勵教練和演說家，勵志書籍和文章。它究竟是什麼，你爲什麼需要它？
動力是一種驅動力。爲了做成任何事，你需要一種驅動力，否則什麼都不會發生。一個願望不足以讓你採取行動。願望是無力的慾望。只有強烈的慾望才能驅使你前進，讓你行動，達成目標。
爲了獲得動力，你需要知道什麼是你真正想要的，擁有一個強烈的願望，並願意做任何事情來實現你的目標。
短期目標更容易顯示出動力。當涉及到長期目標，並不總是能夠維持較長時間的動力。這就是爲什麼從一個小目標開始會顯得更明智些，並且在獲得經驗與動力之後，你會朝着更大的目標前進。
如果你想得到某樣東西，或者達成某個目標，但你沒有足夠的動力去行動，那就意味着願望或目標不夠重要。要主動採取行動，爲你的目標做些事情，你需要有強烈的願望。
動力與情緒和想象力有很大關係，這意味着，如果你想增加它，你必須在你的感情和想象力下功夫。
增加你的動力的小技巧：
1.思考和分析你的願望，看看你是否是真的想要實現它，是否值得你付出努力和時間。
2.使你的目標變得清晰。寫下來會更有幫助。
3. 經常思考你的目標或願望。
4.想象你的目標已經完成，不再質疑。
5.閱讀有關目標的書籍或文章。
6.閱讀那些已經取得成功的人的文章。這是相當鼓舞人心的。
7.經常想想，通過實現你的目標你會獲得多少好處。這會增加你的慾望和動力。
8.想象一下，想想你達到目標後會有什麼樣的感受。
9.重複積極的肯定，如：“我有內在的力量和願望來實現我的目標”。注意力集中並堅定的相信，經常重複這樣的肯定。
10.現在開始朝你的目標邁出一小步。不要等待合適的機會和時間。
