That One Thing That Guarantees Your Unlimited Motivation And Success
What can you do when you do not feel like getting started? When procrastination takes over... We all know what that feels like. You sit there staring at the mountain of work in front of you while your mind screens a horror movie of toil and effort. I am sure you have tried making a list of things to do but the problem is the longer the list the harder it is to get started. Well, listen I have a very effective remedy you can use whenever you feel this way. Find That One Thing You CAN Do Now. Now, it does not matter how small a task that one thing is. Select one thing you feel capable of starting and completing. Let me give you an example. Last week I was sitting at my desk ready to get stuck into a new project but I just could not get started and my mind kept wandering. Then it hit me... There was such a huge pile of papers, books and notes on my desk that the clutter was driving me crazy. I picked up that pile of paperwork and deposited it on a different desk in my office. Notice that I did not sort through the pile and file it away. I did one thing! Now, at that stage I had started and completed one task that would help me to make progress on my project. I then picked one other thing I could do NOW. Little by little I found myself starting and making progress on the project without giving myself a hard time. This is easy to do. And it gives you a sense of achievement and gradual progress towards the successful outcome you have in mind. You Can Use This Simple Motivation Approach Today... 1. Pick a task you want completed but do not feel like starting. 2. Ask yourself - what is the one thing I CAN do now?
i.e. you feel capable of doing it and it is effortless for you to do so right now.
3. Do it! 4. Repeat step 2. Ask yourself again - what is the one thing I CAN do now? This works as long as you use these steps without putting yourself under pressure. Remember that even a tiny step forward is still a step forward. And each one builds your confidence. Do not force yourself to raise the stakes in a big way every time you go back to the question - what is the one thing I CAN do now? Simply do that one thing you know you can do and repeat the process. You will become more motivated as the momentum builds. About The Author Peter Murphy is a peak performance expert.

Life?s an Illusion
I'll get right to the point. Life is not necessarily what we think it is. And no, I'm not going to extrapolate this to the extreme to try to convince you that we really exist on some obscure planet in a distant spiral galaxy and that all of this we're experiencing as "Life" is only a dream. Of course, it is kind of cool to think that we could waking up any time now, wandering out to the kptfrun to put on the cuggy and then stepping out on the prafo to watch the bos rise and enjoy the sounds of the bilbs as they greet the morning. We naturally, would be all the more enlightened because of the dream experience of the previous night and could therefore anticipate an even more productive, enjoyable day at the Snark assembly plant. (Does excessive caffeine intake cause everyone to think weird stuff like that? Probably just me, huh?)

We've probably all heard the famous movie quip, "why don't you wait here while I slip into something a little more comfortable".

Visualization
Visualisation plays a very important role with the mind and body relationship. Visualisation and Imagination are quite similiar. Visualisation is the picturing power of your mind. Your mind is like a camera constantly taking pictures of things around you. You are the star of your show. There is no one to give orders to your mind. The images you hold in your mind will determine the kind of life you will lead. When you first start to work with visualisation it is normally the imagination that comes to play. Visualisation takes time and practise to acquire. When working with visualisation it is important that one practises regularly. Try to practise at the same time each day, by doing that it becomes a habit.

March Madness - Give Me The Ball!
March madness is great to watch not because I have
basketball ability, (you can tell that by my
height), but because every year there are some
good players that become great players. Some of
the tournament games are nail bitters and come
down to last second shots. When they do there are
maybe one or two players on the team that have
this attitude of, "just give me the ball." They
want that pressure shot, they want to be the one
making or breaking the teams future. Those are the
players that go on in life to be the Michael
Jordan's, Larry birds, and Magic Johnson's of this
world.
