How to motivate your self

If I ask you about a person performance based following statistics, what will be your judgement?

There is one person who performed the same task 62850 times and the success of those tasks was 1334. What you think of his performances? Was he performed well? Or was he underperformed.

The person is none other than our spin legend Murali.

He has bowled 62850 deliveries to get his 1334 wickets in both formats, ODI and Test.

He never feared to bowl, he never gave up, bowl by bowl he focused, improved his performance and became a legend

When it comes to our work, Don’t fear your failures.

That’s my first point of how you can motivate you self in your work life.

If you look at our lives, we do the same thing over n over for years, this induce us to get de motivate our self. There are many factors you can consider to be motivated such as money and power, but I believe to be motivated to be success, money and other external things not that much matters.

So when you fail, take it as a pillar to be success. If Murali gave up his bowling, then there won’t be a legend.

The second point is that do all your tasks positively. Learn to let go negative thoughts of tasks before they have a chance to take hold of you. You might not be able to be positive all the time, but it’s really good being positive all the time, which helps you to be open minded. When you approach to perform a task with mind set like that, you will complete the task or will find solutions for complex tasks. When Murali was dried up with wickets he always took that challenge positively and produce new deliveries to take wickets.

When a task is huge or complex, break it down to small chunks. You can complete them piece by piece, by the end of the day you have completes whole task or at least you have completed some. That feels good. Believe me. Break your task in to small pieces, that’s my third point.

Next point is Remember your successes. The reason behind this is when thoughts of successes flow in your mind you will be energetic and will be in good frame of mind to do complete tasks. You feel positive because you believe you r self because of the successes you had.

Final point of the day will be to have fun, whatever you do, make sure you have fun. It’s always possible to do what you most like to do during weekends or whenever a holiday is there. It’s always good to do exercises as a part of you life with other fun activities. When your mind says get a break, it’s the right time to get a break

Even you can have breaks in between while you perform your tasks daily. I prefer to play TT with my friends at office which refresh my mind continue the remaining tasks. Personally I felt that playing TT refreshes me on a packed day.

Every day you need to ask yourself whether you are motivated and satisfied enough.

And it’s all about, stay hungry stay foolish
