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 />
