Do you ever feel there is a need to get motivated, that there is this motivated person dwelling inside you ready to unleash onto the world?

Anchoring Motivation to a Trigger
Tony Robbins talks a lot about motivation.  According to Tony one of the keys to motivation is something called state management.  This is basically anchoring your emotions to some sort of physical trigger.  When Tony pounds on his chest, he is essentially trigger his feeling of motivation.  They key is to tie in some sort of physical action with the feeling of motivation.  This may even mean hitting your fists together or simply butting your tongue, who knows.

Intellectual Motivation
You might set a goal to increase your website traffic by 20%.  But, is there some sort of intellectual level of thinking that is stopping you?  Maybe you don’t even really like making websites at all.  If you try to become successful at activities you don’t enjoy, your chances of successful motivation to achieve them will be minimal. If you are cook at a restaurant, but all you want to do is be a musician’s, your attempts at successful cooking may be frazzled simply because it’s not really what you want to do.

If you try to set a goal in your activity, yet you really long to do something else, your mind is going to fight against you.

Why Am I Unmotivated
If you feel like you are fighting against yourself, ask yourself simply “Why am I feeling unmotivated to achieve this goal?”.   Make a list of reasons which may be working against you.  Maybe you’re just letting some simple fears or excuses from holding you back.
