You can’t change a habit unless you replace it with another one.
The same is true of motivation. You can’t change how motivated you are unless you replace the undesirable motivation with a desirable one. Hence, you have to understand whether your motivation is a positive one or a destructive one.
Once your inspiration is identified, you must build on that inspiration until you create an intense hunger in yourself.
This means that you commit to taking responsibility for your own life. You set new goals for yourself or review your existing goals, as well as your reasons for setting them.
As you prepare to tap into your inspirations, ask yourself the following questions. Once you tap into this amazing source of motivation, you can create your own personal call to action.
1. What do you love to do?
2. What would you do with your life if you could do anything?
3. What inspires you?
4. What do you want to achieve in this life?
5. If you had all the money in the world, what would you do with your life?
To facilitate motivation and change, you must know and understand the answer to each of these questions. You can only facilitate change in yourself if you understand your motivation for making the change in the first place.
1. What knowledge and information do you need to take action?
2. Are you more motivated by inspiration, desperation or a combination of the two?
3. What is the cost of staying the same, or what will happen if you don’t change?
4. What are the benefits you'll receive when you make the change you are asking of yourself?
5. Do you feel capable and competent enough to make that change?
Remember: Life is a game and the more fun you're having the more you'll attract the things you really want in life. Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!

Do you realize ... YOU have the power to train your mind to choose what you think. That's right YOU! You have that power as a person, as a human ... YOU don't have to allow random thoughts to hold you hostage ... you have the power of choice.
And just how do you do that you might well ask?
You do that by becoming inner-directed and focused, so that you decide what you want to think, rather than have your thoughts and emotions determined by the world around you.
The untrained mind has more emotional ups and downs like a proverbial roller coaster because it's reacting to random thoughts. Focus on what you REALLY want with joy and enthusiasm.
Remember, just like the Earth, your brain doesn't discern what you plant. It'll work just as hard to grow weeds as it will to grow beautiful flowers. In your mind, You determine the seeds that are planted by what you say to yourself over and over again.
Quite simply, you're a self-fulfilling prophecy because your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between factual reality and imagined reality.
If you focus on what you say you don’t want, then you'll create that as The Dominate request in your experience.
If you think you're destined to be overweight, below average, poor, unlucky in love, clumsy, or even 'not good at something,' you'll take actions that make these thoughts become reality.
So, the trick is to keep focused on what you REALLY want
Define yourself as the person you choose to be. (Example: I am a perfect weight for my body and lifestyle.)
If you're still looking to let weight go, you may want to say something like: I am allowing my body to obtain its perfect balance for health and vitality.
Understand the power of I AM
Many of your beliefs about yourself have no foundation in truth, so instead of promoting your purpose, they hold you back from success. If keep saying to yourself ... I AM ... overweight, below average, poor, unlucky in love, clumsy, or even 'not good at something,' you'll continue to take actions that make those Dominant Requests become reality.
None of these thoughts are actually true, but thinking them creates beliefs and images in your mind that reinforce these negative statements until they actually become true for you. Be aware of the directions you give your brain
Your internal dialogue, along with what you believe about situations, is how you create your emotions.
Negative self-talk messages will cause you to give up before you even try something new. Always be aware that your words can make ominous predictions.
If you say about your habit, 'I’ll never be able to stop this; I’ve been doing it so long.' You're programming yourself to believe that you are too weak and powerless to overcome the habit.
These negative permissions clutter up your ability to change your behaviors. Pay attention to yourself when you hear yourself uttering negative permissions and negative reinforcements.
Avoid negative self-talk
'I can’t do this. I don’t understand. I’ll look stupid. I’m too old to learn new skills. They make me feel stupid. That’s just the way I am. There’s nothing I can do. No one in my family can do it, so I know I can't.'
Change your self-talk
Reframe the negative things you say about yourself and your life to positive statements which reinforce the creation of new behaviors (habits). A positive outlook creates more options for creative solutions.
Remember: Focus on what you want. Keep it simple and sure.Love life and live it creatively and on purpose!
