Motivation Strategies to Try

Some hints to keep your motivation going as we come to the end of our session:

SOG
     Set obtainable goals

4-4-4-4
     When you think you have gone as far/hard/fast as you can try this technique
         Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, do for 4 minutes
Mind's Eye
         Picture yourself as succeeding in your goal or make a collage'
         Go to your happy place (especially helpful when under stress)
         Get these images firmly stored.

Fire Wall (Mental Defense Program)
          When the self talk turn bad and the "negative film" starts, ask yourself these questions to stop that film.  If you can rise even a  little bit of doubt, you might be able to turn that talk around.

Are my fears (doubts) really air tight?
Are my negative assumptions completely free of errors & misconceptions?
What are my arguments against my raising doubts?

Give one a try when you need to increase your motivation.   Thanks to Liana Schull for a great presentation.
