Motivation - Project Freedom

So hello and welcome today.

Good evening to everyone.

My name is Art to.

That's a part of project freedom and we'll talk about

motivation. Um obviously motivation in relation to anxiety.

So can I stay motivated while having anxiety if I

am an anxious person?

If I have an anxiety disorder or depression?

Yeah, so let's dig into it.

What is motivation?

So maybe not a lot of you know that motivation

is emotion.

So when you think about it it will change, it

can change depending on your mood or other factors.

But the good news is that you can jump start

with motivation by defying the reasons why you want to

achieve your goals.

So we all have goals or we should have goals

being fair because this is what should drive us and

drive another day when you wake up, you should have

something that will just make you happy, make you go

make you hungry, drive you so define your goals.

Mhm. Just to get started how to define your goals

and when you will define your goals, remember to make

sure your goals is smart, You probably heard that before,

but that's really crucial.

So what smart means specific measurable, attainable, relevant and time

bound. So as specific target, a specific area of for

improvement, measurable quantity of or suggest an indicator of progress

for measurable goals.

Achievable, specify who will do it and how So obviously

when it comes to specific your goal needs to be

specific, you're going to just say I want to buy

a new car because that's abroad.

If you want to buy a new car, probably, you

know, it's you want to buy a Porsche or you

want to buy Volvo BMW.

What color is it?

Is it right?

Is it white?

Is the yellow?

Is it blue?

Why? Because that will give you an image in your

mind. Something to visualize which is also a part of

motivation. If you will visualize, I visualize that you have

a blue that you sit into in blue BMW.

That you always wanted.

I think it's just better to to to to can

do it then obviously the goal needs to be realistic.

So if you start, let's, let's take into to the

car. We talked about um, if you start now and

you need to save a lot of money to buy

the car, you thought maybe just don't start with Ferrari

or Porsche if you need a car, which will be

good for your family, maybe just think about the family

car for start.

The second carrier by will be Ferrari and obviously you

need to specify the target date or just a general

time frame.

So how we call it is a deadline Just to

have a goal.

Let's say I want to lose 10 lbs.

Okay, That's good.

I want to lose 10 lb but is there a

date to it or is it just like I just

want to lose it because if I just, I just

want to lose it, I probably will not.

And I will say say to myself, I want to

lose 10 lb till the end of June, basically better

if you all say this year, this june.

Um so I know I know I need to work

hard, I need to go run, I need to go

to the gym, I need to do some exercises because

I only have Whatever 2, 3, 4 weeks to, to

to achieve my goal.

So the goal itself, I need to clarify my why?

So what do you do, what you do?

What is that drives you today?

obviously there are 2, 3 things let's say, first of

them is pleasure.

Some people are motivated by pleasure.

Pleasure now our pleasure in future.

So for example running makes me feel accomplished.

It feels great crossing the finish line.

So that's something now.

Something in the future let's say for example I didn't

write it down but let's say for example the car

we've talked about so that can feel great.

You can feel like motivated because it will be pleasure

to have a new car or the first car.

So you are motivated by the future by the picture

in your mind than pain.

Some some people are motivated by avoiding pain.

Let's say not finishing this paper, makes me anxious and

I can stand missing deadlines.

Uh huh.

Just saying with the car I've the deadline is and

of year And it's 2, 3 years that that can

also motivate you.

Um Mix of both.

Most of us are motivated by a combination of both.

The key is to tap into this, those feelings on

command to do that.

Imagine how good it will feel or what life will

look like when you will achieve your goals.

Similarly consider how not achieving your goals has held you

back and probably we can get numerous examples from, from

our lives.

So just think about it, think for yourself, just stop

for a second and think for yourself um about the

biggest goal you have something you want to achieve now.

Um and think how it will change your life or

if you will not get it with your life change

or you stay in the same place now.

The journey, I think the journey is most important being

far so good.

The basic question, we'll need to go back.

Why do I need to achieve it?

How will I get there?

Still being motivated?

So before I go where I went in the second

ago, how will we get still being motivated?

So let's say you didn't use the smart goals.

You didn't you didn't set up the smart girl.

And let's say, I've said to myself, I need to

lose a stone or £10 Or whatever kilos, 10 kills

in two weeks.

So after a week, if I would go and check

if I lost enough weight, let's say half of it,

five kg or whatever, half of stone probably.

I didn't Well, I'll be still motivated.

I don't think so.

So setting smart goals, it's a foundation, but how will

God a still being motivated?

Probably if I would set up a reasonable one and

I'll check myself, Let's say I want to lose a

stone in three months and after after the first week,

if I lost £2 I would be really happy because

I over achieved almost.

So that would motivate me.

So If you can do a list, uh 20 compelling

reasons why you need to achieve this goal now you

can stop and do, I would say 10, 15, maybe

20 reasons.

Um So Break your goal into steps, 5, 10 or

even more, depending on a goal, because more steps, you

will have more times you can celebrate.

So, as I've said before, Celebrate after every single step,

if you will achieve first to 1st £5,, obviously when

it comes to losing weight, it's better enough to celebrate

eating the cake.

But you can celebrate whatever, take a day off, just

or exercise more, if that will make you more happy,

but just celebrate.

Um So the reasons and I will recommend it to

recommend it to everybody, write down whatever you can write

down, Buy yourself a planner or a diary and write,

write it down.

So 10 reasons, reasons.

I must achieve this goal now by now, obviously I

don't mean you need to have a here and now,

but as soon as you can setting those smart targets,

so for example I need to learn that new skills

so I will be able to change my career.

It will help me feel energized free and I will

earn more money.

That's your goal.

Just write down 10 reasons.

And on the other hand, Write down 10 reasons why

not to achieving these goals is holding you back.

So let's say not learning that skill means I will

be stuck at a job.

I can't stand for a long time and we all

have those things.

Is it wait or is it the job that we

are stuck in and we don't want to be there

anymore? So obviously it will de motivate you if you

will not do any steps towards but just think about

it. If you will not move even the slightest little

tiny step will anything change?

Obviously not.

So making that little first step just I don't know

learning yourself another skill Maybe your goal will be to

learn 10 skills through the end of the year.

Whatever makes you happy.

It's all about motivation is all about saying not only

happy but having something that drives you having something that

make you feel better when you wake up.

So when you wake up ask yourself that question is

just observe yourself when you wake up tomorrow or in

two days.

What do you feel the first for you have after

filling up waking up?

Are you happy that you woke up and you have

something to do or is it just I need to

go to work?

Oh I woke up and I don't know what to

do today.

If that's the case.

Just as I said by yourself, a planner, write it

down, write down your goals right now, those reasons go

back to the, to the video you are watching now,

write it down and observe yourself.

That's the last one I would say.

Just observe yourself, observe your emotions and observe your a

thought. If there is a goal in your mind, do

everything, you can just everything you can put every single

effort, every single energy you have.

Just just to get that to that girl.

Even if it's a small one, it's always better to

start with small.

Don't just don't, don't just put on yourself like as

I said before, I want to buy a Ferrari.

If you have that goal that you want to drive

a Ferrari do it, but just give yourself time and

build up.

Um that will be what I wanted to say about

motivation. So thank you for watching.

Obviously if you have any other topics you want to

talk about, I'll try to do maybe not a fancy

presentation, but just talk about it for a second and

I hope I will see you soon take her.
