SELF-MANAGEMENT SKILLS<br />

MOTIVATION: MY GUIDELINES<br />

Having completed a reflection of your performance last term:<br />

• now is the time to identify the changes you need to make in order to improve<br />

• if you keep doing the same things, you’ll keep getting the same results.<br />

Focus on what you can control:<br />

• positive behaviours and attitudes<br />

• reaction to external influences; self-awareness<br />

• a balanced lifestyle; exercise and diet<br />

• willingness for open communication; sharing<br />

• identifying your personal needs; be resourceful.<br />

Achieving your goals won’t “just happen”:<br />

• opportunities need to be chased down<br />

• you must be self-motivated and set guidelines goals for your behaviour and your life.<br />

Self-motivation is an internal force activated by a desire to achieve your goals:<br />

• the greater the desire the more powerful the stimuli to achieve it<br />

• demonstrating perseverance and positive self-talk will help you achieve your goals.<br />

What motivates you?<br />

• a fierce desire to taste success?<br />

• a dreaded fear of failure?<br />

• knowing what your goals are and how to achieve them?<br />
