These 12 Obstacles to Success with Motivational Remedies will help you overcome typical obstacles that block the success you seek, such as achieving your dream goals.
They are derived from many sources on achieving success, including some exercises suggested by Richard Wiseman and validated by research studies. [1]
1. Unhappiness: hold a big and forced smile for about 20 seconds. This simple trick will make you feel happy and give you the motivational energy to continue. Such synthetic happiness feels as good as real happiness.
2. Lethargy: increase your motivational energy by
standing tall,
breathing deep into your belly,
making a fist or contracting any muscle,
pressing your thumb and forefinger together, or
gripping something in your hand.
3. Depression: feel grateful for every little thing in your life. Gratitude acts as a natural antidepressant by releasing hormones that induce happiness while improving learning and memory.
4. Overworking: adopt a work-rest cycle with about 90 minutes of work followed by 15 minutes of rest to recharge your mind, body, and motivational energy.
5. Lack of confidence: empower yourself when needed by
standing taller,
breathing deeper into your belly, and
clenching your teeth, fist, or any muscle.
Such power-posing will immediately increase your self-esteem, self-confidence, and motivational energy.
6. Learning difficulties: awaken your vast innate learning ability by
exercising and/or walking every day to energize your mind and body;
doing simple Super-Brain Yoga* often to boost your brainpower through whole-brain integration;
drinking water before learning;
linking what you are studying to an outcome you desire, and
taking frequent breaks between study sessions to relax and increase your motivational energy.
7. Procrastination: imagine the desired outcome using all relevant senses,
breathe deeper,
stand or sit taller,
slightly clench your teeth, and
start doing the first part of whatever you are avoiding.
Things get easier once you start.
8. Indecisiveness: imagine the desired outcome in detail and start doing what is needed without fear. Remember that even a wrong decision will be a learning opportunity that will focus your motivational energy.
9. Shyness: boldly interact with others by
power-posing (standing taller and breathing deeper),
giving them your full attention,
smiling genuinely,
nodding your head subtly while listening,
matching their physical postures and speech patterns, and
expressing yourself confidently.
10. Overeating: chew each mouthful mindfully at least 32 times until liquid while enjoying what you are eating with no feelings of guilt.
This will relax your mind and help you lose weight naturally by eating less, less often.
Such natural calorie restriction will also help you stay young.
11. Junk food addiction: chew each mouthful mindfully with no feelings of guilt. Then feel how your body responds when compared to eating something equally tasty that is unprocessed and nutritious.
12. Smoking: smoke with total mindfulness to feel how smoking really affects your energy, despite any initial boost.
Consider the high price you are paying for that pleasure, and ask yourself if it is really worth it.
Motivate yourself to gradually smoke less and finally stop.
