\"Carol<\/a>I want you to pause for a moment and think of that thing you needed or wanted to do this year\u2014but it\u2019s December and you still haven\u2019t gotten around to yet, and you keep putting off.<\/p>\n

The idea or project is just sitting there, and the unfinished-ness of it is weighing on you. But when it actually comes down to doing it, you seem to have lost all motivation.<\/p>\n

So how do you recover motivation to do something you think you should do?<\/p>\n

You can start by giving up this one word in 2019\u2014and replacing it with something much more powerful!<\/p>\n

Say goodbye to the S-word<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Should<\/strong>
\nThat one word can zap your motivation to do something faster than anything.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found that whenever I used the word \u201cshould\u201d I would procrastinate and avoid the activity or project I thought I \u201cshould\u2019 do. That\u2019s because the word \u201cshould\u201d in the dictionary indicates a meaning of obligation or duty.<\/p>\n

Notice how often you might say something similar to these:
\n> I should go work out.
\n> I should eat healthy.
\n> I should lose 10 pounds.
\n> I should get out of debt.
\n> I should clean that closet.
\n> I should learn how to ____.<\/p>\n

Why \u201cShould\u201d can sabotage your success<\/strong>
\nWhatever it is for you, it might even be a necessary or good idea (organize a closet, clean out the car, take a class, plant a garden). But if you\u2019re trying to force it, you either just won\u2019t make the time or have the energy, or you\u2019ll probably keep putting it off because you don\u2019t enjoy it. Or it might be a good thing to do, but maybe not for you to do. Or maybe not at this time.<\/p>\n

Get clear on what you want first<\/strong>
\nNow, for every \u201cshould\u201d statement you say, ask yourself, \u201cIs this what I want?\u201d Or do you think you should do it because someone told you to or you feel under some obligation to do it? Sometimes our choices are influenced more about what others want than we want.<\/p>\n

Although they might all be great choices, until we personally own them for ourselves we will not be motivated to follow through. So, the first step to healthy motivation in the new year is to examine your \u201cshoulds\u201d and get clear on what it is YOU want.<\/p>\n

You can also clarify what it is you want so it matches the outcome you want to create (i.e. I want to clean the closet so I can always find what I need.) Once we claim a choice for ourselves, we then can declare them with \u201cI am\u201d statements.<\/p>\n

Then replace \u201cI should\u201d with \u201cI am\u201d:
\n> I am working out.
\n> I am eating healthy.
\n> I am losing 10 pounds.
\n> I am debt free.
\n> I am cleaning that closet.
\n> I am learning how to ____.<\/p>\n

Take your choice even higher with gratitude<\/strong>
\nAn even higher vibration of belief is to act as if you have already accomplished it and imagine your success with these statements of gratitude:
\n> I am grateful I choose to workout.
\n> I am grateful I eat healthy.
\n> I am grateful I lost 10 pounds.
\n> I am grateful I am debt free .
\n> I am grateful I cleaned the closet.
\n> I grateful I have learned\u00a0 how to ____.<\/p>\n

This simple, but powerful, shift can make a world of difference!<\/p>\n

Remember, when you declare your intentions, you uplift your energy so it can support you with the motivation to do more, when it is right and timely for you.<\/p>\n
