Finding my MOJO.

May 18, 2010

I reminded myself about the FACTS when it comes to my MOJO -- my personal magic, my motivation sweet spot. Here are those facts:

1) Motivation is not a bird that alights on my shoulder. It's something I can choose to create from within.

2) It is my personal responsibility -- and my opportunity -- to create my motivation.

3) When I make my own motivation, I do not feel like a victim anymore, and that is critical to working a good weight loss program.

4) When I decide to motivate myself, I am instantly filled with great ideas to accomplish the task.

5) Motivation follows action. It goes like this:  I decide to get motivated, I take an action that will produce the desired result, and then I experience some motivation. If I don't muster much motivation, I act again. And again.

So, what can you do to motivate yourself, to muster your mojo, to feel your own personal magic?!

We're all different, but we can all make the DECISION to be motivated. It's a choice, as hard as that is to admit.

It's a choice.  It is MY choice.
