I’ve just finished reading and commenting on a great post by Henrik Edberg of The Positivity Blog, where he shares a few simple and effective ways to get motivated again, once you’ve entered a “slump”…
It’s a good read. Go ahead and find out: How to Break Out of a Motivational Slump »
As I explain in my comment there, here’s what I’d usually do to get my motivation back:
3 Powerful Ways to Make 2011 Your Best Year Ever

(by Tony Mase of The Personal Power Course »)
The use you make of the rest of this month will, to a large extent, determine the use you’ll be able to make of the coming year…
As 2011 has begun, I’d like to share with you three simple, yet powerful things you can do over the next couple of weeks or so that’ll help you make the coming new year your best year ever. Here they are:
1. Spend some time in gratitude.
Whatever you focus your attention on expands in your life. If you focus your attention on lack – that’s exactly what’ll expand in your life…
Lack.
If you focus your attention on abundance – that’s exactly what’ll expand in your life…
Abundance.
The practice of gratitude keeps you focused on the abundance you already have in your life and thus opens the door for
more abundance to flow into it.
Here’s what I suggest you do…
Keeping a Life-Changing New Year’s Resolution
(by Tim Ryan) (Image: hinnamsaisuy / FreeDigitalPhotos.net)
Yes it’s that time of year again. Time for making and breaking yet another promise to yourself! Ring any bells?
Here’s what generally happens…
You pick a random subject that is your current sore spot. You make some sweeping promise such as ‘I’m going to drop five dress sizes’ or ‘I won’t eat chocolate ever again’, but after a few days of being strong you let it slip and become de-motivated by the fact you couldn’t even keep one simple promise to yourself…
You then forget all about your initial good intentions and end up right back at square one where you started.
But what if you could actually make a promise to yourself and REALLY keep it? What exactly would YOU change?
Just imagine how rewarding it would feel to purposefully change your life for the better…
Welcome to a New Decade… (and yet another post about new year resolutions)
Here we are at the beginning of a new year and a new decade… and there is no way around talking about ‘new year resolutions’ (NYR), right?
Let’s start with a bit of laugh…
Now seriously, almost everyone is talking about why NYR don’t work, right? I don’t like the idea of the NYR. I haven’t made any ‘resolutions’. I do have written goals, and as it happens, I got my long-term and short-term goals re-written a couple of days ago.
Yet, my yearly goals talk mostly about results, not actions. When it comes to actions, I prefer to take it one step at a time…
How to Overcome Your Secret Addictions
I guess I’m putting myself on the line here by telling you this, but I don’t care…
The truth is that for years I’ve had the habit of watching online porn for about half an hour a day, almost every day.
The habit was so strong that you could call it an addiction. I’d do it even when I didn’t really feel like it, or when I should have been doing other things. (By the way, my wife had known about this almost ever since we first met.)
I knew it was bad for me. Besides the obvious time waste, it was the lack of self control that bothered me most. Besides, it’s been pretty obvious to me all along that (like most ’digital addictions’), it was simply an escape mechanism, a way to procrastinate on less ‘attractive’ tasks and responsibilities…
