Reinventing Yourself

Steve Chandler writes about 100 ways to motivate yourself to become the person and success you have always wanted to be.  Dance like no one is watching, sing as if you were living your last day on earth, and believe in yourself that only YOU can make the difference in bettering yourself.


Some tips:

Don’t allow problems and images from your past to take control of your present life.

Surround yourself with people that are making progress in their life.

Plan and keep checking on your progress on a regular basis.  Use checklists, design a graph of your activities, and utilize graphic images of your progress.

Have gratitude!   Things can always be worse.  Believe that you are now equipped with the resources, skills and abilities to move yourself forward.

Read and absorb the Laws of Attraction principles.  We attract what we believe.

Motivational Speaker and Coach Scott Smith promotes asking yourself four questions that can guide you in any situation to making the right decision and choice for yourself.  He refers to the questions as Quantum Linguistics and a supercharged "pro and con" list.  The questions:

Question #1 - How WOULD I Feel if I DID?

Question #2 - How WOULD I Feel if I DIDN’T?

Question #3 - How WOULDN’T I Feel if I DID?

Question #4 - How WOULDN’T I Feel If I DIDN’T?

Introversion Versus Extroversion

The basic premise is that introverts are more solitary and get their energy from doing or participating in activities of the “inner world”.    The inner world refers more to those types of experiences that require self-reflection, whereas extroverts get their energy from the “outer world”.   An extrovert would be more inclined to hang out with friends or attend a sporting event for replenishing energy, and an introvert might be more tempted to retreat to reading a good book.  Regardless of the terms or experiences used to describe these traits, neither is considered to be better than the other.   Both have positives and both can be enhanced with additional strategies to benefit from the differing traits.
