#107 Become Your Own Cheerleader

Increase your chance of success of meeting your goals by becoming your own cheerleader. So often we depend on others to motivate and keep us going. After the initial excitement, those comments usually stop and our motivation goes with it. Who’s had this happen?

That’s why this week I am going to challenge to become your own motivator. Think of why you are so convinced you can be successful. Invent several phrases that reinforce your determination.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• I’m totally determined because….

• I’ve got a plan and I am sticking to it!

• I’m capable of meeting this goal.

• I can do anything I put my mind to.

If you are still struggling to motivate yourself, find some stories about others that have completed the goal you are after. Let them inspire you to keep going.

Practice by saying, “I CAN DO IT!” 10 times in a mirror.

Put sticky notes around your house, car, or work to remind yourself that you are strong and capable. You can meet this goal!
