I have a way of motivating myself. I have a small notebook and every week I write 5 things on a page that I want to do that week. I add items such as clean one closet this week, repot a plant, or something major such as clean the carpet in one room. I look at the list every day and try to do one item a day finishing up by Friday. If I get all 5 items done I reward myself with an hour of reading, buying myself a new book or maybe a new shirt or pair of pants. I do decide what the reward will be and list it on my page for that week so I can see what I have to look forward to. And I have to admit that some weeks I don't finish the list and these items are placed on the next weeks page. After working all day this is the best way I've found to keep my motivation up.

Awesome thoughts. Motivation is definitely a requirement in succeeding in anything in life. The key is to never give up and never give in to frustrations of challenges that you meet along the way. Self Discipline is a must when one is trying to stay motivated also. Have a very positive day! Dorothy Ls last blog post..
