Let's have a SERIOUS moment… I am not a "ray of sunshine" every morning. Many mornings, I have to write the Morning Motivator just to get ME motivated properly. Some mornings, I don't even WANT to do that.
Most people STRUGGLE, at least, one day a week with their lack of proper DRIVE and MOTIVATION. We wake up… slowly… and can think of nothing BETTER than just going back to sleep. (sound like this morning?) This is SIMILAR to the feelings people EXPERIENCE with working out in the gym. You just don't want to make the EFFORT…
The DIFFERENCE between those who are SUCCESSFUL and those that struggle is the ABILITY to overcome these lags in motivation. SUPERSTARS don't have "limitless" energy and motivation. They are NOT superhuman in their focus and drive. They are just better ABLE to BUST THROUGH the down days…
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Here is MY SECRET to getting through these "less than perfect days":
1. Know what your MOODS and how you commonly react. (ex. How do you act n rainy days? Are you a morning person?)
2. DISCOVER your "pick me ups." (ex. Does music get your hyped up? Would writing a blog help you get focused daily?")
3. MAKE and TAKE time to get your mind right. (you boss many not like to hear this, but it is better to spend 30 minutes in the morning getting focused to work at 100%, as opposed to coming in early and working at 75% all day long.)
4. LEVERAGE others motivation. (Be a magnet. Allow others to share their ENERGY with you. Don't be afraid to allow others to get you FOCUSED. There will be days you do that for them… cash in your favors!)
We are all SUSEPTABLE to performing at low levels, feeling "drained" of our drive or just not giving a DAMN at all… OK! That's cool. Don't act like it is not ACCEPTABLE… Just BUST THROUGH those moods and CONTROL your own daily outcomes.
Cheers,
Zach
