How to motivate yourself to change your life

Are you living the life you want?
Is the life you are living now by any means close to the life you desired?

If you are like most people then most probably you aren't living the life you want and that's not a problem if you are trying to change your life for the better but the big problem happens when you become dissatisfied with your life and in the same time do nothing about it!!

In this article i will tell you how to change your life for the better using a powerful motivation technique.

How negative motivation works

Imagine yourself on your knees crying and begging your boss for acceptance, how does it feel like?

I am sure you can't even bear seeing the image and this intolerance is going to motivate you to never do so. But what if you don't have any other option other than begging your manager in such a way? certainly you will either do it or feel frustrated and quit your job.

Just like we get motivated by rewards we get motivated by the desire to avoid pain however if there was no way out then pain avoidance will do more harm than good.

So negative motivation can be really harmful if you didn't have a way out because while you would never want to be in a certain situation you wont have any other options.

In order for negative motivation to work you need to first find the way out then show yourself a negative image that motivates you to run away from it through that way.

Its as if you are blocking a certain exit and opening another one on the other side so that you can run away through it.

How negative motivation can help you change your life for the better

Now back to changing your life for the better the first thing you need to do is finding out the things that you must do in order to live the life you want and write them down.

This list of things will be your way out of your current life and the only thing left now to change your life for the better is to motivate yourself to do them.

Now imagine how will your life be like 5 years from now if you didn't achieve any of your goals, if everything remained the same or even turned to the worse.

This image will motivate you to do your best not to let that happen and will let you run fast in the other direction.

Find yourself a way towards the new life you want then use pain avoidance to motivate yourself to run towards and you will be able to change your life for the better.
