Step 1. Keep track of your goals fresh in your mind by putting them in places that you visit often. An Example of this would be to put a post on your fridge or on your computer and look at your goals each day in the morning upon waking and at night before going to bed.

Step2. Make your goals realistic and attainable: Set a goal that is so easy to accomplish you never fail doing the task. Then set another and another as you slowly reach each goal. Give yourself positive feedback and never doubt yourself.

Step 3. Your environment make sure your surrounds like your friends and family understand your goals and desires and make sure they support you and tell you positive feedback. Your environment will have a profound effect on your success.

Step 4. Give yourself a reward: give yourself a gift for reaching your goals .Put a picture of what your reward will be up on a wall where you can see it often. It will help you reinforce what you want.

Step 5. Make progress: Always be moving forward with your job, health and self by moving in a forward motion you will be moving toward your goals and be able to self motivate easier.

The last thing is taking action you have to take action everyday otherwise nothing happens so there you have it. Five ways to motivate yourself to move forward and get things done. By doing these 5 things everyday you will reach your goal because it will be in your minds eye as a primary focus so always be aware and ask yourself what you want.

Set your goal.Break it down into small simple steps. Do one step at a time. If something doesn't get done move it to the next days task list. Never bounce around. Tip) Focus on the stuff you don't like to do first get it out of your mind. Then when if comes time to do the things you like to do it becomes more rewarding. Most of all have fun and don't put to much pressure on yourself. If your having a hard time doing the things you don't like just outsource it. Mainly try and focus on what your good at. Outsource the rest.

Weigh yourself.
Take out a thin photograph and pin it in a place you cannot avoid.
Try on an item of clothing you used to wear a year ago.
Close the bathroom door, stand in your underwear and take a photograph of yourself in the mirror. (For your eyes only ?)
Read an inspiring book of someone who has lost weight or overcome a major obstacle in their life.
Join a gym.
Sign up at a local support group.
Visualize the way you want to be ? FEEL what it feels like to be that person.
Declare your weight loss plans to someone out loud.
Ask a buddy to join you in your weight loss effort- you can help each other.
Stop thinking about it and do it. Are you a ?talker? or a ?doer?? Thin about someone who always talks about what he / she is going to do, but never does. Do you want that to be you?
A promised vacation or gift for when you reach your goal weight. Make this a unique, special and expensive celebration ?something you have wanted for a long, long time.
Imagine what it would feel like if you stuck to your weight loss plan for one week and then got on the scale.
Go out for a brisk walk today or this evening and identify how that makes you feel. More motivated, energetic and inspired maybe?
Clean out your kitchen closest and the fridge. Get rid of all the foods that have been sabotaging your success and take note of what this does to your mood.
Go and listen to a motivational speaker or author. You will be amazed at what this might do to motivate you into living the kind of life you are meant to be living.
Identify your obstacles to losing weight. Ask yourself if this is really true or are perceived obstacles?
If you have a real obstacle, ask yourself this question: ?What first step I can I take to overcome this hurdle?? Then, do it.
Speak to someone who was very overweight and find out what they did to lose weight.
Rent an inspiring and motivating movie ? some of my favorites are ?Jerry McGuire, Braveheart, Dead Poets Society, Rudy, Patch Adams, Forrest Gump, What Dreams May Come, Mr. Holland's Opus and Pay it Forward.
Last, but definitely not least, if you have not yet watched the movie ?The Secret?, do so. You can watch it for $4.95 on your computer. It is a must!

I believe that no one else can motivate you as much as the expert ? that expert is you! Be your own greatest motivator!
