If you've ever wished that you were more motivated to experience life at your full potential then this is for you. Most of us set goals and work hard only to find our motivation fizzle out after a couple of weeks. But there are little tricks that will help you harness the power of your mind and propel you toward achieving your goal. The Two MotivatorsWhen you boil it down, you're motivated by two simple things:
You are naturally geared toward one of these motivators. To figure out which, think of the last time you accomplished a task and then ask yourself the following: While doing the task were you thinking about what would happen if you failed to finish, or were you thinking about what you would gain when you finished? Take note as to which motivator works for you - fear of failure, or promise of reward. Set Your GoalThe first step towards unstoppable motivation is to determine your goal.

Identify the healthiest food that you know you should eat regularly. Now with the image of these two foods in mind, find a quiet place and do the following exercise (seriously this stuff works):

Take a moment to imagine how you feel after a great workout (notice the emphasis on the word after). Remember the physical satisfaction as well as the sweet feeling of accomplishment. Now bring to your mind the aspects of exercise that you dislike. What is your biggest reason for avoiding exercise? Are you too tired? Do you not have enough time? Is physical exertion too much of a hassle? Pinpoint your greatest complaint about exercise. Now with the image of these two aspects of exercise in mind, find a quiet place and do the following exercise:
