3 Actions to Keep You Motivated For Your High-Performance Life
Living a high-performance lifestyle is easily achievable when you have the right structures and habits in place. But, because we are human, there’s only so much of the mundane, routine, and day-in-day-out activity we can take before boredom strikes and we lose our drive to make it happen.
Not only does boredom affect your motivation, it also puts a damper on your confidence. “I’m so bored, is this really what I want to do? Can I really handle this?” The self doubt will flood your mind and distract you from the bigger picture.
But you are a LEADER. You get things done. You ADAPT and OVERCOME obstacles, even if that obstacle is your own mindset and environment. Here are 3 activities that are fun enough to keep you motivated and out of that rut.
1. Dance
So cliche, right? Wrong! Dancing has been linked to improving overall mood, giving your brain a much needed boost. The movement requires cognitive coordination and function so it’s a great way to get yourself out of dull, low-energy moods. All you have to do is put on your favorite tunes and boot-scoot-boogy your way into an elevated, high-performance mindset.
2. Reward Yourself
Rewarding yourself for reaching goals and accomplishing tasks is a sure way to keep you motivated. Remember that YouTube video you wanted to watch as a distraction from your mundane tasks? Turn it into a reward! How quickly can you get the job done so you can finally watch the video that will teach you how balloons are made? Set a goal, make up a reward, and DO IT!
3. Get an Accountability Partner
Nothing is quite as motivating as someone cheering you along. Accountability partners do just that! You’d be amazed how many other people are open to the idea of being accountability partners Here is a great article on Accountability Partners and how to choose one for yourself.
As a leader, it’s essential to stay motivated! Shoot for a higher standard of living like taking charge of your mood with healthy movement like dance, treating yourself when you complete projects, and teaming up with someone who will help you keep your commitments to yourself.
