Kelly’s Korner – Tips To Get Motivated When You’re In A Slump

It's a new year, it's true. Sometimes the thought of giving up on all your new years resolutions, the cold temps, the darkness, it can all bring you down and make your dreams look somewhat out of reach.

What are you doing to keep yourself motivated?  Here's a tip list on keeping your dreams within reach.

FIND INSPIRATION

Read about others that have had great accomplishments, google your dreams, find inspirational sites that can help you get motivated and keep your dreams alive. Sometimes just seeking some inspiration can motivate you to keep reaching forward.

COMMIT PUBLICLY

Do you really mean it? Really Really mean it?  Then commit publicly, your intentions. Committing to others rather than yourself can sometimes be just enough of a boost to keep you going until you achieve your goals.

STICK TO IT

People can let you down, things can happen. Always seeming to take away the very thing that you're chasing. Realize that life is an ebb and flow...it's not always going to go smoothly. Sometimes you're not going to get that work out in...The kids are going to get sick at the most inopportune times...The key to anything is to keep on moving. If today you don't succeed....try and try again.  It's an old saying, but true.

BUILD ON SMALL SUCCESSES

Focus on what you HAVE accomplished. Look at the setbacks, and try to eliminate them from happening again. Focusing on all of the things that are happening in a good way, can keep you motivated to try another day, and keep improving yourself.
