What is self motivation?
Infuse your life with action. Don’t wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen… yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
You might be in positive state or “move toward” (what you want). For example, a person who leans toward apathy might be pulled from that state if they feel curious, which might then lead them to excitement, which could then pull them all the way through to a state of being inspired.
Some examples of “move away from” states are:
Boredom
Frustration
Irritation
Annoyance
Agitation
“Move toward” states include:
Curiosity
Excitement
Enthusiasm
Desire
Anticipation
Inspiration
Ambition
Passion
However you design your strategy, an important point is that each positive state needs to have movement, whether it’s positive or negative. For example, “happy” is a positive state, but it doesn’t provoke action so it’s probably not an intermediate state that will get you moving. Frustration is a negative state that can inspire movement because as soon as you feel frustration, you want to get away from it. The most important thing to keep in mind about the positive states is simply that each state needs to be sufficiently intense enough to move you from the last state on to the next one.
For your chain of states to be effective, each step also needs to be self-initiated, meaning you shouldn’t rely on someone else to move you from one state to the next. It’s a new way of doing things that only you can create and initiate, which takes both creativity and application.
