What is Motivation? What is Drive? What is Inspiration? & How Do I Get It!

Motivation: “The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.”

Drive: “An innate, biologically determined urge to attain a goal or satisfy a need.”

Inspiration: “The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative.”

Desire: “A strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.”

<All definitions retrieved from Google.com>

Now we know exactly what they are. How do they tie in together?

What I believe is that the driving force is love. We want something because we love it.

Now is this the driving force behind motivation, not always. Sometimes our reasons for being motivated are all wrong. Sometimes we choose to go after certain goals to please someone else or to get something that we think will make us feel better.

How Do I Get Motivation, Drive, Inspiration, and Desire?

Have you been procrastinating a task and really want to figure out how to get motivated to do it?

Check out Marie Forleo’s video on When Procrastination is a Good Thing. http://www.marieforleo.com/2013/10/procrastination-good-thing/

She states that maybe the procrastination is a sign to look at why and what it is we are going after.

Do we really want it? I mean come on, how bad do you really want it if you have to look up how to get motivated to do it?....

Why do you have to/want to do it? Maybe you have to work at a shitty job to feed your family. Well that is your motivation right there!! Maybe your boss wants a report in by COB today! Well you value your job, right? You want to keep it, right? Well isn’t that motivation to get shit done!

One of the large motivators for me is…. You are always stepping into another position, or opportunity. You are always moving forward with every task you get done, every small goal you accomplish.

But… You have to know what direction you are going. You need a plan. You need to know what the next step is after this shitty job. Are you saving up to start a business of your own? Are you networking to get clientele for your next job? Are you working your way up to be a head honcho in the business? Are you choosing to get some experience in your field for cheap pay?

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING!

Of course motivation will be hard to have when you have no good damn reason to do whatever it is you are trying to do!!

Do What You Love and the Rest Will Follow

Do you need motivation to roam Pinterest?

Do you need motivation to garden?

Do you need motivation to go hiking?

Do you need motivation to shop?

Do you need motivation to go to the zoo and feed the animals?

Okay a few of you may need some motivation to do some of these, but what I am getting at is you do not need motivation when you want to something!  

When you are doing something you love, you will desire it. You will want to do it. Inspiration will come with it. You will get excitement about it!

And it is so much FUN to be all giddy, excited and inspired over something. 

Life Goals, Do You Really Want It?

Look at what your life goals are? Are they to get married? Have a baby? Buy a new car? Own your own house? Put your children in a private school? Have a huge wedding?

Now why do you want those things? Really dig deep. If you are only coming up with, well why shouldn’t I want it, then maybe you need to look at your life and your goals.

Many of us don’t really figure out want we want. So we want what others have or what we think we should want, which we get from society.

You do not need to be married to be an adult! You do not need to have a new car to be freakin’ awesome! You do not need to have a huge wedding to prove that you love your husband! You do not need to have children at all, if it doesn’t appeal to you.

DO YOU! Desire what you want. Love what you want. Inspiration will come flowing through you. Love for it will be your Motivation! 

With Love,

The Numerology of the 29 Birth Day number

via The Numerology of the 29 Birth Day number | Numerology.com

I love what they said about people born on the 29th day of the month!!

"You are highly intuitive and creative. Your mind thinks in pictures. You seem to draw information and ideas from out of the sky. Your intuition is your gift, along with a powerful drive to know the oneness of all things. You are so driven by spiritual pursuits that no matter what you do in life, the world of spirit and philosophy will be central to your daily behavior. You feel linked with the larger universal forces, and nothing will change that."

Very much true!

"Your highly developed intuition makes you a wonderful counselor, healer or health practitioner. You have a gift for inspiring people. Many people admire you without your knowing it. You are a visionary, and others sense your wisdom."
This is my calling!

Accomplish Your Dreams By Perfecting These Three Areas In Your Life

Do you have goals that you are longing for? Is there areas of your life that you would like to change? 

Well I an help you with that.

Jack Canfield has spoke wisely about Skillset, Mindset, and Environment!

If you get these three simple areas in shape according to what you want, then it can be yours!!

Environment 

via HERE

       Where are you living? What does your bedroom look like? If you want to be a fashionista, your living area has to support it. If you want to be a spirit junkie, make sure you have things around your house that make you feel like that! Environment also entails who your friends are, where you spend most of your time. If you want to feel more connected to the Earth and nature but you stay out all night in the city, are you really putting yourself into situations that you want.
       If you want something and you want it bad, you need to start changing your environment. You can do it drastically by moving to a new place or you can take small steps to change your environment. You could get up earlier in the am and sit outside to hear the birds chirp. This may bring you closer to nature.

Skillset


       You want to be an awesome blogger, or you want to be a motivational speaker, but you know nothing about what it takes to be those things. You need to have the skills that whatever you want to be has. Take time out of your day to do some research. Figure out what skills you need to be an awesome blogger, or a speaker, or anything else your heart desires. Work on getting those skills until you can say with confidence that yes I am a hard worker, I am savvy with online media platforms, I can speak well in front of others, or I can brainstorm ideas. Practice your skills, do things for free if you have to!

Lastly but Most Important
Mindset


       This is where you believe in yourself. You are in the right mindset to achieve your goals. I was reading a little of The Power of Now last night. And Eckhart Tolle was speaking about how future planning is great, so we know the direction we want to head but too many people just live for this hope of a better future. They don't step back in the present moment and make it happen. I was doing this too much. I was fantasizing about how awesome my life was going to be and forgetting that in order for it to be that way I have to fully be here. You have to plan then live in your plan. Also, to be in the right mindset you need to be positive and love everything. There are many ways to be in this mindset.
Some of things I do to be in the right mindset:
1. Be grateful for what you have in life.
       I am grateful for my family and friends that help me express my love. I am grateful for the things I have: a house, a working car, a job, and money to make my dreams come true. Also to live in a country where opportunity is available.
2. Be in the moment as much as possible. 
       Whenever speaking with someone, be fully there. Listen to every word they are speaking. Try your damnist to not let any other thoughts creep in.
3. Feel love, extend your love outward. 
       Feel love deeply in yourself. Think as if you are giving love to everyone you meet. Even if people are being difficult, you can still feel love for them.
4. Know that your place in the world is not already taken.
       Don't be afraid someone is already doing what you would be doing. There is plenty of room for everyone to do whatever they want to do. You are a unique person, you will have your own twist on things.
5. Do not get caught up in the media and popular culture.
       You can still be aware of what is popular and what is going on, but don't get confused on what you want from what others want. Stay true to yourself and what makes you happy.
6. Keep on keeping on.
       I love this one. If you want something bad, you have to keep striving for it. Now when I say this I am not saying to manipulate or push. I am saying keep knowing that what you want will happen. Take the fails as a step closer to your destination. Belief that the universe will make it happen.

To make things become a reality, build these areas of your life up.

With Love,

Getting Ready to Juice!

My Vitamix Blender should be coming in the mail this week! I'm jumping on the juicing band wagon. So look forward to more juicing posts!

I went to New Earth Market, a new market in town. They are locally owned and sell organic foods. I bought my first batch of wheatgrass. I was all smiley taking it off the shelf. HA I'm so giddy about it. 

It is time to get HEALTHY!!

I'm listening to Optimal Living 101 on entheos.com where Brian Johnson is interviewing wonderful people who are knowledgeable in their fields. This particular interview is with Joe Fuhrman, M.D. talking about how to optimize your nutrition. He talks about gbombs!

**GBOMBS**

G:  Greens
B:  Beans
O:  Onions
M: Mushrooms
B:  Berries
S:   Seeds

We should be getting all these nutritious foods everyday. When we eat natural food that is grown out of the earth we are less prone to diseases. Well I am ready to be disease free and shinning with health!

It will help my feel more like a Charming Goddess, one of my Core Desired Feelings!!

One Simple Step to Becoming A Happier Person

***LIVE IN THE MOMENT***

Point Blank, Easy as That!

Via HERE

HA not so easy. Our mind/ego sweeps us away, judging, criticizing, complaining, worrying, and the list goes on & on.

For most people it is hard for them to fully do a task without thinking about something else.

We sit at work planning our weekend, we listen to our boss in our meeting judging what he/she is wearing, and we watch TV worrying and attacking ourselves for not doing something else.

I have been actively feeling how I want to feel and being fully aware in the moment. When my boss is speaking I fully listen. I squash any other thoughts that come up. If I catch myself judging someone, I tell myself to let them be them and worry about myself.

I decide to do what I am doing every minute of the day. If I want to watch TV then I will be fully engaged it that. If I am doing work I would rather not be doing I make sure I am fully engaged so I can get it done faster. There is no point sitting there wishing you were doing something else. It still needs to get done, why not put all your energy into it, making the product come out awesome the first time.

When you are getting a pedicure, why be on your phone? This is an awesome time to be fully in the moment! Appreciate and really get the benefits from the massage that is given. Many times our phones take us out of the moment. When you are driving through a new city, do you not want to see all the buildings, people, etc?

Being in the moment makes you attractive! Marie Forleo taught me this one with her book: Make Every Man Want You!

When you are in the moment, you appreciate who you are with, you listen a little harder, and you are not worrying about how you look. Who wouldn't think that is attractive.

Become aware how your mind wanders off from the Now. Just becoming aware is the first step. Then try to concentrate on what is happening around you. Use your senses to bring you into the moment. What can you see right now, what can you hear, what can you smell, what do you feel?

At any time during the day you can ask those questions to bring you back to the only moment there is, Here, NOW.

What Do You Desire?

I have recently bought The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte! It is awesome. Check it out HERE.

It is all about making decisions and goals with your core feelings driving them. Instead of making goals and hoping they will make you feel a certain way after you achieve them. Why not figure out how you want to feel then make goals from those feelings!!

Such a brilliant idea!! Feelings is what drives the universe! The law of attraction theory states that we have to feel what we want. When we figure out how we want to feel most of time, our intentions are true to our soul. 

She has you narrow down how you want to feel in different areas of your life, then choose your most used, most felt feelings for your core feelings!

MY CORE DESIRED FEELINGS:

Just saying these words, makes me happy, excited, and thrilled. 

I choose to feel these feelings whenever I can! When I am at work, I think of these feelings. I try to feel them with all my heart. It instantly makes me happy. 

When I feel like a Curious Gypsy, a Charming Goddess, when I feel Creative, Divine Oneness, or Affluence I am sending good vibrations out to the Universe, making my dreams closer to coming true!

I hope you check out The Desire Map, and get clear on how you want to feel.
It is liberating!
