How do you keep yourself motivated to finish a difficult task? Do you have someone there to push and support you? Perhaps, you hang motivational quotes. More likely, you are the type to constantly berate yourself, expecting nothing but perfection by drowning yourself with harsh words, guilt, and shame. Sure, this may seem like the best way to get motivated but think about this: How long would an employee stick around if you motivated them like that?
Next time you find the need for self-encouragement, try finding ways to look at the "possibilities". Instead of focusing on the weight you have left to lose, focus on all the weight you've lost so far. Concentrate on all the things you do right, instead of the things you do wrong. Or reward yourself with a weekend vacation after a hard week. Regular words of encouragement have been proven to not only lift self esteem, but also help get the job done. Studies have shown plants grow taller when spoken to positively and children grow up to be more successful when living in a positive environment. The fact is, while cruel motivation may get you moving, regular rewards will keep you from burning out.
