What we covered

In this interactive session, we will examine how changing our perspective can help us stay motivated and fulfill our goals. We will discuss the common mental barriers that can dampen our motivation, such as fear of failure, self-doubt, and negative self-talk. We will also explore tactics to help us reframe our thinking, build resilience and shift our mindset in order to stay committed and motivated on our path.

Sometimes, our biggest obstacle to success is our own mindset – the way we think about ourselves, our circumstances, and our goals. If we approach our goals with a pessimistic attitude, it can be difficult to stay motivated and to push through the obstacles that stand in our way. By shifting our perspective, we can gain the clarity and confidence to continue to move forward and stay focused on our desired outcomes.

Identifying Mental Barriers

The first step to shifting our perspective is to become aware of the mental barriers that are preventing us from staying motivated. Fear of failure, self-doubt, and negative self-talk are some of the most common mental barriers that can limit our motivation.

When we’re afraid of failure, we’re more likely to give up when we encounter obstacles or setbacks. We tend to focus on the potential for failure and forget about the potential for success. We become so focused on the possibility of failure that we lose sight of our goals.

Self-doubt is another mental barrier that can keep us from staying motivated. We may question our abilities and feel like we’re not good enough to achieve our goals. We may also compare ourselves to others, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and frustration.

Negative self-talk is another mental barrier that can limit our motivation. We may tell ourselves that we’re not capable or talented enough to achieve our goals. We may also view ourselves in a negative light, which can make it difficult to move forward.

Reframing Negative Thinking

Once we’ve identified the mental barriers that are preventing us from staying motivated, we can begin to reframe our thinking. Reframing is the process of changing the way we think about our circumstances and goals.

One way to reframe our thinking is to focus on the positive aspects of our situation. Instead of dwelling on the potential for failure, we can focus on the potential for success. We can remind ourselves of our accomplishments and focus on the progress we’ve already made.

We can also use positive affirmations to help shift our mindset. Positive affirmations are statements that we can use to replace negative thoughts. For example, if we’re telling ourselves that we’re not good enough, we can use an affirmation such as “I am capable and talented” to replace the negative thought.

Another way to reframe our thinking is to focus on the process instead of the outcome. We can break our goals down into smaller, more manageable tasks and focus on taking one step at a time. This can help us stay motivated and keep our focus on the present moment.

Building Resilience

In addition to reframing our thinking, we can also build resilience to help us stay motivated. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficult situations and to stay focused on our goals.

One way to build resilience is to practice self-care. Self-care is any activity that helps us take care of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Examples of self-care activities include taking a break from work, exercising, meditating, or spending time with friends and family. Taking care of ourselves will help us stay energized and focused on our goals.

We can also use visualization to build resilience. Visualization is the practice of creating a mental picture of our desired outcomes. Visualizing our success can help us stay motivated and maintain a positive outlook.

Maintaining Motivation

Once we’ve shifted our perspective and built resilience, we can maintain our motivation by setting realistic goals. Setting realistic goals can help us stay focused and motivated. We can break our goals down into smaller, more achievable tasks and set deadlines for each task.

We can also use positive reinforcement to stay motivated. Positive reinforcement is the practice of rewarding ourselves for our progress. We can reward ourselves with something small, such as a piece of chocolate or a night out, when we complete a task. This can help us stay motivated and focused on our goals.

Finally, we can stay motivated by building a support network. Having a support network of family, friends, and mentors can help us stay motivated and on track with our goals. They can provide encouragement, advice, and accountability.

Conclusion

Shifting our perspective and staying motivated can be challenging. By becoming aware of our mental barriers, reframing our thinking, building resilience, and maintaining our motivation, we can stay focused on our goals and achieve success.
