3# FIND OUT WHAT FIRES YOU UP
There are a lot of things that we need to or should do,
but that doesn't mean we do them. So I want you to
try on the following sentences, simply add what you
want to be able to do at the end.
For example, if you want to go to the gym every day
at 6pm for an hour, try these on. Say them out loud:
I should go to the gym – I need to go to the gym – I
have to go to the gym – I'd better go to the gym
I could go to the gym – I can go to the gym – I will go
to the gym – I'm going to the gym
Do this a few times and notice which one creates the
strongest feeling within you, like you want to go do it.
You've just unlocked your personal motivational language. Make sure you use it from now on!
It's vital that you build a propulsion system that makes you feel
good and look forward to doing the things you want to do, so that
you want to do them more and more. This is how you get to build
up new more useful habits to last you a lifetime.
I've just shared 4 motivational strategies with you, that when you
use them, they will help you get more stuff done and achieve
more, faster. They can be applied in any area of your life. These
strategies have helped transform some of my clients from couch
potatoes into fitness freaks, so good luck to you!
4# IMAGINE YOURSELF SUCCEEDING
One of the main functions of the brain is to prove itself
right. So, whatever you focus on is magnified, as the
brain thinks it is an objective of yours. Also, the brain
doesn't know the difference between a vividly imagined memory and reality. This is why if you want to do
something, it's vital you imagine yourself doing it like
this (read this resource fully before you do it):
Think of yourself doing the thing you want to do, training in the gym, or whatever. When you think about it
you may notice the thought to be at a certain distance
from you, a certain size, and in a certain place. Just
make sure you see yourself in it, looking happy, positive and really enjoying what you are doing.
Now, imagine the thought getting bigger and bigger
until it's almost panoramic. Make sure it's big, bold
and colorful, maybe add some sound to it, and notice
how good you feel.

Now, imagine you can float outside of your body and
into yourself in the image, so you can see through
your eyes, hear through your ears and feel how good
it feels to be doing what you are doing and loving it
too! Intensify everything even more, so the colors are
brighter, the sounds louder and the feelings stronger.
Now, tell yourself in your most motivating voice "Go
For It!"
Now, take a deep breath through the nose and magnify the feelings so you feel even more motivated!
Repeat 3 times, first sitting down, and then standing
up, and notice how you feel even more motivated!
