The Inner Winner Secret by Peter Murphy

You are capable of much more than you are currently demonstrating in your life. Deep down you know that.

The challenge is knowing how to activate your inner winner - that part of you that is destined for greatness. What you need is a simple yet practical way to draw out your capacity for inspired action, your ability to be in the flow getting things done while enjoying the moment.

Why not do what the very successful do? i.e. use the fear of embarrassment to help you achieve your goals. I know this sounds unusual. Bear with me a moment.

Here´s how it works....

1. Choose a critical task

Pick something you really need to get done but are avoiding. This can be in your career or personal life. Just be sure to select a task you care about completing. It´s best if the pressure is already building!

2. Tell a trusted friend what you will achieve

The key is to tell someone whose respect and approval you don´t want to lose. By setting things up in this way winning their continued approval becomes more urgent and important to you than the task itself.

If you choose the kind of person who will never let you forget your failure to follow through you will have found the emotional pressure to get into action immediately.

3. Hold in mind the potential for embarrassment

While working on the task hold in mind the embarrassment you will feel if you don´t complete it. Imagine how disappointed your friend will be. Think about how that person will be surprised and let down to see you fail.

This emotional need to avoid disapproval will give you the incentive you need to move ahead and complete the task. Before you know it you will have an unstoppable resolve to complete the task and report your success to your friend.

The potential for embarrassment and the desire for praise will focus your attention on what needs to be done. What was once a task that could be put off or even forgotten quickly become a matter of intense urgency.

Although we might like to think otherwise we are emotional creatures. Using logic doesn´t always work when it comes to motivating ourselves and reasoning is never going to light the fire in your belly.

If you have been trying to reason your way to a state of lasting motivation you already know that it is not a solution to the problem.

What you need to do is take charge of those feelings that stop you from getting ahead such as lethargy, indifference, apathy and even fear.

Imagine what your day would be like without those limiting feelings. Imagine how much energy you´d have and how inspired and excited you´d feel about diving into the day ahead.

Logic won´t get you to a state of lasting motivation so use the power of your emotions to ignite your self-motivation.
