As human beings we have a limited amount of willpower There's only so much force that we can exert ourselves on a daily basis to take action. The key to overcoming laziness and getting into action is motivation . We need to gain leverage over ourselves and as human beings we are either running away from something or tore something at all times . We are trying to avoid pain or to gain pleasure, we are either afraid of something or we are hopeful for something, there's a desire So understanding these two forces and how you can use it to gain leverage over yourself is key and critical to actually overcoming laziness, getting into action. So here the four simple steps you may want have a pen and paper handy when you go through this exercise The first thing you want to do is simply ask yourself: What am I trying to avoid? What do I not want ? Be very clear about the result and the consequence of not taking action The second question you want to ask yourself is what do I want? What is it that I am actually aiming for ? What is it that I could potentially achieve if I were to take action? If I were to move myself and really do whatever it takes to actually get a result . What is the best possible outcome? So number two : What do I want ? The third step in this process is to ask yourself What's the next step that I can take, simply the next step not every step along the way but just next one If that means putting on your shoes,if that means just simply getting to the gym , if that means simply opening your computer ,and what whatever happens to be What's the next step I can take and take that step and fourth, repeat the whole process. Just go back to number one remember what it is you're trying to avoid . Number two, be very clear about what you can gain and what you will gain by taking action. Number three, what's the next step So after you taking the the first step previously, you go through the process again What's the next step now. And you just keep doing that on a daily basis everyday simply taking one step, if you're able to move one step closer to goal every single day , you will get there ,and that's the key thing to remember Rome was not built in a day, and you can't eat an elephant a single bite. So simply realizing that goals and achievements take time. Is very important to not getting stuck in laziness and in activity and authurgy .And I'll give you one last hint When we're attempting to get ourselves into action by either running away from something or running toward something, running toward something have a very having a very clear vision a goal is far more powerful in attempting to avoid something We can only again even if we're trying to avoid something or still exhorting force ourself or pushing ourselves. The key to success is to have a vision so compelling so attractive that it pulls you towards it and then the entire process becomes effortless . So again briefly repeat the 4 steps What am I trying to avoid ,what do I want what's the next step and take that step and spending a little bit of time whether it's 5 minutes a day or 10 minutes a day on that process are on the clarification and the visualization of your fear of your goal can be extremely powerful to getting into action and in a very short amount of time you'll be amazed at how much parts you can make To define success.
