I am channeling my energy into “prosperity thinking” and the result is greater productivity.

I envision myself as a winner. When I picture myself debt free and on top of my finances, I am able to do whatever it takes to get me there. My accounts are clear. My debts are paid. Those mental images motivate me to work harder than I ever have worked so I can achieve my goals.

I have something to aspire to when I paint mental pictures of victory. I work harder when I envision myself more prosperous. My thoughts involve visualizing myself in a better place than I am today.

I visualize my career taking flight. I visualize my investments going through the roof. I see myself surrounded by healthy relationships. When I see myself this way and my dreams are clear in my mind, I am eager to help myself achieve my dreams.

All my energy is focused on the thought of being in the better place that I deserve. I do not waste my energy fretting about shortcomings and mistakes. Ambition helps me to press on in my work.

I am amazed at how focused my work is when I am working toward a goal. My work is marked by a high rate of productivity when all my energy goes toward positive thinking. In turn, I am capable of finishing my work ahead of schedule and exceeding expectations.

Five Ways to Stay Motivated Through Relationship Challenges

Whether you’re struggling with a new relationship or an older one, it helps to find the motivation to keep going.

It’s not always easy to see your love for each other when you’re experiencing serious challenges. However, a healthy, fulfilling relationship is worth striving for.

Try these strategies to keep yourself motivated through challenging times with your partner:

1. Figure out your “why.”

Why are you with your partner? Why are you still together and hanging on? Every relationship has an answer to this question. It’s crucial that you figure out your why and focus on it.

* You may be together because you started off as close friends, because you’re deeply in love and have passion, or because of children or other obligations.

* When you determine your why, it will help you rekindle your romance and figure out unique ways to overcome your challenges.

2. Remember the past.

Sometimes it helps to look back on the past and see why you fell in love in the first place.

* Your relationship will change over time as you evolve. However, remembering the past will help you figure out if it’s worth staying together. You may be able to go back and restore some of the initial emotions. The past can help motivate you in the present.

3. Seek a solution.

When you’re facing any difficulty, it’s easy to fall into despair and see the challenge as impossible to overcome.

* If you avoid viewing your relationship issues as impossible to solve, your mind will naturally start to search for solutions. You may suddenly find the answers around you as you look at other couples, watch TV, or read books.

* The key is to focus on finding a solution, rather than on how difficult and impossible the challenge is.

* Remind yourself that every relationship has a starting point and a middle point. You may be at the middle point with multiple challenges, but you can get past them and stay motivated to resolve your issues.

4. Stay connected to your partner.

One of the worst things you can do during a relationship struggle is to ignore your partner. This will make the issues worse and could destroy your love. Even if you need some space, avoid pushing your partner completely out of the picture.

* Whether it’s a daily meal together or a conversation late at night, it’s crucial that you continue to communicate with each other.

* Your efforts to stay connected may involve talking to your partner, getting outside advice from friends or family members, and getting therapy or couples counseling.

5. Find a reason to stay together.

Sometimes you simply need a reason to keep your relationship going.

* The reasons can include your children, pets, household, career, and other things that you have built together. The reasons can also be more subtle, such as you love seeing your partner smile, or you love the way they compliment your cooking.

* Whatever the reason may be, make it the center of your focus. It doesn’t have to be a monumental or enormous reason. It simply has to matter to you.

Your relationship doesn’t have to end because of challenges. Instead, find a way to overcome the obstacles and restore your love. These strategies can help!

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly. – Stephen R. Covey

My life is full of motivation and purpose

I am able to motivate myself easily. Because I know my purpose, motivation comes to me naturally.

Motivation is the key to accomplishing things with enthusiasm. I can do anything if I am enthusiastic.

Regardless of the task, I have plenty of motivation to carry me through to the end.

Motivation is a renewable resource. It must be replenished regularly.

My attitude is another great advantage I have.

My motivation determines what I do, but it is my attitude that ensures that I do things well. I avoid mediocrity and live life at a high level.

My purpose is clear to me. Whenever I am feeling lost, I remind myself of my purpose.

My purpose guides me each day. I consider my purpose before making any big decisions. Knowing my purpose makes my life easier because I remain grounded and certain.

I receive comfort and peace from knowing what I need to do. Knowing my purpose is the starting point of my achievements.

Being consistent in my purpose is the secret of my success. I know who I am and what I want.

Today, my life is full of motivation and purpose. I remind myself that spending time on my purpose increases the level of motivation I experience. My purpose is clear to me.

Rediscover Your Motivation When You’ve Lost Your Way 

Do you ever feel lost when trying to achieve your goals, especially when progress seems so far away?

If you’ve lost your way in trying to achieve a goal, you may find it difficult to rebuild your motivation. But there’s nothing stopping you from picking yourself up again!

If you feel like you’re off track, now is the perfect time for you to gather your thoughts and move forward again. This is a perfectly achievable feat, but you must be willing to give it your all.

Try this strategy to rediscover your motivation:

1. Figure out where you want to be. What do you want in your life? What matters most to you right now and where do you want to go from here? Take the time to visualize your dream life. Try to envision as many details as you can so you can get a feel for what you truly desire.

2. Commit these ideas to paper. Write the details out clearly. Focus on what you do want rather than what you don’t have or don’t want. Put all of this information down on paper in a format that works for you, such as a mind map or a brainstorm cloud. You need to be able to process this information after you jot it down on paper.

3. Review your current goals. How do your current goals and aspirations relate to your dream life? Are you setting specific goals for what you really want to achieve in life? If not, then revise your goals so they’re in line with what you actually want. Your goals are only effective if they’re driving you toward the future you desire.

4. Create visual representations of your goals. It’s important to keep your goals in mind. Leave reminders for yourself on note cards, sticky notes, poster boards, dry erase boards, and anywhere else that you’ll see them and be able to think about them.

* Keeping your goals in mind is essential to developing the motivation to see them through to their fruition.

5. Enlist help and support. Surround yourself with loved ones that support you and your goals. They’ll be some of the best help for relocating your motivation. Encircle yourself with people that motivate you, cheer you on, and feed you positive energy at every turn.

6. Remind yourself consistently. Why do you want these specific goals? Close your eyes and visualize your dream life often, in detail, and review your action plan to remind yourself how you’re going to get there.

* When the “why” of your goals is important to you, the “how” more easily appears. Knowing exactly what you want and how you’re going to get there brings consistent motivation. With a detailed action plan of achievable steps, you’re excited about your next step and tackle challenges with gusto to get past them and move on!

When you take decisive action to achieve your goals, you can find the strength and motivation to carry on. Avoid letting obstacles in your path prevent you from attaining the dream life that you deserve because, with hard work, the ability to bring your dreams to life is just around the corner.
