7 motivators to consider

7 motivators to consider












Can you keep going, at the pace you’re going at?

When do you review your goals, your dreams…your motivators? If
progress has slowed – or stalled – on any of the plans you’d set for
2012, here are 7 things to consider. I read them in a recent issue of a
running magazine, the report comes from a survey of 3,535 respondents to
a Runner’s World poll. Before I share the responses, I want to say:
When you achieve a goal in one area of your life, other areas benefit as
well.
Get MotivatedThe question: “What motivates you?” As you review the top 7 answers, wonder what you could do this week to improve your pacing:

30% Training for a race
27% Staying healthy
5% Getting outside

Get EducatedJust last weekend I listened to TWO audio programs featuring Dr.
Amen. If you’re not familiar with him – or his work on why we must care
for our brain – please see:

YouTube speech: Change your brain, change your life
Wikipedia page: Dr. Daniel Amen
Article about stress and performance at work: Optimizing brain function

Now, we’re way past the 50% response rate, what did other people say?

17% Controlling weight
15% Relieving stress
4% Being alone
2% Running with friends
These are mental and physical benefits of adding a “fitness” goal to your planning for the next few months. (Here’s a video on achieving a goal
you’ve set.) Whether you consider yourself an athlete, weekend warrior
or “health-conscious,” focus on just one of the motivators listed above
and ask yourself, “What do I want to work toward?”
Live On PurposeRemember, when you practice in one area of your life, other areas
benefit as well. Improve your fitness and you could improve your:

relationships
career
network
leadership skills

Focus on what you want

Making Your Best Better?

I know, I know, things are good. I mean mostly good, right? You've got some work lined up next week, some projects your workin' on over the summer, maybe even a getaway (or full-on vacation) on the calendar. So, why focus on getting better?

It seems natural to want tomorrow to be better than yesterday. Looking around, there's probably SOMEone you know who's lookin' to get better. (Any doubts, just tune in during the Summer Games in London!) I don't know about you, but when I see someone excelling at something I ask... “How did they do that?”

The most recent review of the book

Recently, I heard that Rex Williams (thanks!) wrote up a wonderful review of the book. Here's what he says:

“In a world of constant multi-tasking and increased demands on our time that we either place on ourselves, or is placed on us by others, we crave some kind of magical time and space where the rest of the world just stops, so we can focus on getting things done and catch up.”
