D.R.I.V.E.: 5 Ways to Motivate Yourself

5/20/2021

0 Comments

 
Have you been feeling tired and unmotivated? Like most busy women, I also feel tired some days. Here is a method that you can use to gain back your drive in life: The D.R.I.V.E. Method.
D - Do something small. 
Do something small. Do something really small, just to get yourself going, so it's not something difficult. It's not something that takes a lot of time. What you might need is just a little bit of a boost. A little bit of a push. And a little bit of a win. 
What's the one small thing that you could do? 
  • A quick social media post.
  • Reply to one email.
  • Send one card.
  • Make one phone call
Could you do something small? Yes, you can. Small wins are really important when you're tired because to think about taking on something big is overwhelming.

R - Rest
On days when you're tired, you might have to take more breaks. 
  • You could organize a nap during the day. 
  • You might actually just have to go back to bed. 
  • You might have to cut the day early. 
Do what you need to do to rest. That rest will help you to perform better later.

I - Inquire
Inquiring means you are going to sit by yourself and you're going to ask yourself, “What do I need right now?” 

Here are some common answers:
  • I need to talk to a friend. 
  • I need to eat something. 
  • I need to take a break from this task because it's draining me.
  • I need to get a stressful task or project done. 
Well just inquire about what that is. Inquire about what you need, so that you can flip things around.
V - Visioning
V is visioning. Go back to your why. Go back to the vision for your business, the vision for your life. You may have a life purpose statement in your life. Go back to that. 

Look at what you have to accomplish for the day. 
  • Then envision it already being done. 
  • Envision how you'll feel. 
  • Envision how it'll look. 
  • Envision what's possible when you get that thing done.

​Use your visioning ability. It’s your ability to see forward but also your ability to sit in why you do what you do. Do something to fuel your vision. Look at thank you cards from clients, read positive emails, look at some awards you've attained. If you're just physically tired, visioning might light a spark.
E - Enjoyable Activity or Exercise
E is either an enjoyable activity or exercise. An enjoyable activity is something you want to do. Something that is fun. 
  • It can be something in your business. 
  • It might be one of your tasks that you have to do that you enjoy. 
  • Maybe you enjoy doing some graphic design work. 
  • Maybe you enjoy writing for your business. 
  • Maybe you enjoy talking to some of your clients. 

​Do something you enjoy in your business or in your life. 
​

On the flip side, do some exercise. Get out of your desk. Do some jumping jacks or burpees. Go for a walk. Put on some music and dance around. Do something to get the blood flowing. Do an activity that is enjoyable so it feeds your soul or do some exercise so it feeds your body.
