Do you feel that you lack motivation?

I begin by saying that we are the ones we create our own motivations, although there are many people around us no one can do for us something that must come from the heart of each person. You may be able to fool someone into believing that you feel self motivated but ultimately not deceived.





Then like finding motivation in life.

Initially we understand that it is a process

First we start with self-esteem, being necessary to have a lot of pride, because we must act convinced that are good.

Followed know that is a motivation:




Application of motivation



This article aimed at students of directors, managers and individuals dedicated to personnel management, intended to together's go through the different theories expounded on "Motivation" in order to locate, anyone who is interested in what is the best theory in its application, so that different scenarios and examples with names and no real time for better understanding are presented.




This is not to introduce or impose a theory as a basis, but on the contrary, only to publicize each end for which each is best applied to the situation that exists.


Exposition


When you start studying the theories of "Motivation" only issue I entail to imagine endless scenarios that daily living in each of the companies I know, the first thing you have to master is the concept of motivation word, not only in its literary meaning, but in its intrinsic meaning, and monumental personally think the motivation is the internal engine that drives an individual to perform any act or activity factor.

But if we talk about that is an engine, it needs fuel to run, also needs a "Being" to start its operation, that is why we will take this as a reference to discuss the motivation and theories that generate it.

By culture in my country El Salvador, when you ask a worker who needs to feel motivated to continue working for the company you work, your answer is "Money" and retribution are asked for all that would, in some cases and in some companies might work, however this requires strict control, because otherwise it becomes a double-edged sword, remember Selvin seller of sports equipment when at work was told he had to meet a goal to get commissions, I agree, and tried to meet that goal and on many occasions exceeded by a wide margin, but once you can not cancel it actually corresponded, at the time their motivation collapsed and decayed high way, so if you plan to use this theory you should plan ahead control means of retribution.

Another theory says that what motivates an individual is to tell your weaknesses or mistakes you make, this theory is not applied to anyone, you must know very well the person who will use. Angela was in charge of a convenience store average consumer oriented fashion, at some point your store declined in sales and be visited by the supervisor, was called in private to exhort the appearance had dropped Store , he chided such a way that employees realized and some of them felt bad, but Angela went annoying but challenged and eager to prove he could improve the regañada the reason to improve eye this theory does not work with any , employees Angela felt very bad and one of them did not come to work the next day, but she improved the appearance of the store in less than three days and raised its sales.

There is a theory that says that employees are motivated by their needs, and could one day go to work at a company with a young man named Jaime who had been working for nearly eight years in micro companies which you did not provide additional benefits to its salary, a day to meet the respective time I was given the ballot to request your membership number to Social Security, that day that guy's eyes filled with tears and told his immediate boss who never had Social Security, he was immediately apply for meat Social Security and was very happy to the extent of reaching as far as the general manager to thank him and committed to the company to work hard, in many cases, usually in people like Jaime, this theory works, when offered Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Family Pantry, Private Clinic, School Scholarships for children, and others who fill their primary needs that salary does not pay, but like other theories, this does not work at all because if a person already has eliminate with all these needs it will not be motivated by one.

The last case I want to mention is that of George a technical degree in electronics that apply for a job in a well-known company engaged in the repair of photocopiers, just the fact of saying work for company X, was pride among his friends, I apply to be interviewed very well, but when asked if he had any questions about the work I wonder football team have in the company?

This guy was motivated by the association, it seems that the association or social life not share in labor but is not, because the social is complemented with working life and motivation can be generated by aspects of association and the if George.

I have presented several real cases, people and situations that occur daily in many companies, which one fits the company headed ?, that motivation theory would you apply or apply where you live? Remember you are an administrator and it is your duty to present alternatives and solutions to optimize human resources and qualities...

conclusion


In conclusion we can say that "Motivation" does not have a standardized theory of effective implementation will depend on the different scenarios presented in different companies, so it will be the task of the administrator to apply the correct and effective for each of them, here the importance of knowing each of the theories presented by the various managers. And the fact of believing that a theory is more effective than another depends solely exponent of that comment, because as said the motivation is entirely circumstantial ...

10 methods to ensure a positive thought

Negative energy is everywhere. Being exposed to it is so detrimental to avoid it should be a matter of necessity.

Many tend to think of negative energy as something mystical, that "bad vibes" of what the hippies and speak only Roma who read hands. As a result, we do not repair this energy which is in the form of comments, looks, complaints, daily gestures around us, influencing our thoughts and emotions and largely determining our actions.

The reality is that negative energy is everywhere, and be exposed to it is so detrimental to our emotional well-being (and yes, our professional success) to avoid it should become a matter of necessity.

Here are 10 practical that will help you stay away from negativity and have a positive thought that drives you toward your goals. Ready to apply them to your daily life?


1. Be cautious when choosing who you surround yourself


Well the saying: "Tell me who you hang out and tell you who you are." Deciding who to let into your life is not something you should take lightly. People who choose to live positively related to malvibrosa rule, envious or whiny people, and try to surround yourself by optimistic, good-natured and always willing to help people.



2. Take care that you receive stimuli


It may sound exaggerated, but everything that goes into your body-and we are not referring only to the food- influences your emotions. This includes what you see, hear and smell every day. If the first thing you hear is bad news to wake up, the first thing you read is work emails and the first thing you hear are hundreds of car horns, how do you expect your body and your mind to start the day?

3. Practice some discipline to focus your mind


In this chaotic world it is important to create a space dedicated to "clean up" your mind of negative stimuli and refocus to your growth. You can sign up for yoga classes (or why not? I practice from home) or meditate, even for five minutes a day. Do you like to draw? Can I attend dance classes? Cook? It's up to you.


4. Exercise


Exercising is much more than a vanity: it is a condition to be and feel healthy. Physical training releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that are associated with a feeling of well-being. Incorporate an exercise routine in our daily lives will reduce stress, improve your mood and promote our self-esteem. What other reason you need to start moving those muscles?

5. Do not underestimate your rest


In a world that worships overwork and is obsessed with productivity, break-even is often underestimated and rejected. If you want to keep your sanity, do not fall into this error. Having time to relax, read, go out or practice hobbies is as important as professionally grow and attract money to your bank account. Learn to appreciate the time that you dedicate yourself!

6. Stay away from routine


Everyday stress can be quite absorbing. And if you made an effort to avoid falling into this black hole? In addition to creating spaces during the day to take a break, get away from the routine for a couple of days it is a great help to clear your mind and start again. If possible traveling somewhere away from the city where you can breathe fresh air and forget the worries. You can not stay away too? Search relaxing activities in your city.

7. Accept failure as part of growth


It is an inescapable fact: the failure is part of life, and is in each of us face it as a learning experience or feel defeated. By having an error, rather than get discouraged, you think: "Why I failed?", "What I can learn from this?". Thomas A. Edison rightly said: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that will not work ".


8. Learn to control your thoughts and emotions


Emotional intelligence is just that: the ability to manage our thoughts and emotions instead of letting overpower us. Knowing how to control our anger, anger, sadness and negative thoughts is essential to achieve our goals ... and enjoy the process.

9. Learn to say "no"


Of course it is important to be generous and help others when you can. But how to say no when necessary is a skill that will help you effectively use your most valuable asset: time. Saying "no" is to take control of your life and direct your energy toward things that are truly important to you.


10. Do not seek anyone's approval


Do you let your life be guided by the opinions of others? Sure you feel paralyzed. Focus your priorities rather than seek approval from others and will feel freer than ever!

How to motivate yourself every day

I give you a very unusual business advice: "Get lit up every day." The life of an entrepreneur is full of ups and downs. One day things are really exciting; the next must face a new obstacle. This could wear you and end the passion for the company.

As entrepreneurs, passion is our responsibility. Some of us know well what motivates us; others have not yet discovered. You just make sure it is your passion and purpose, not what your parents and teachers have told you that you should and should not do.

Two owners of two almost identical pizzerias might have different reasons why they undertook. One might be living the dream of growing a small business and give local youth work; while the other could love just seeing happy families enjoying a good meal. The key is to discover what motivates you; what turns you on.



There are two important factors that motivate most entrepreneurs:
- We want to express our desires, passions and purposes. The reason is simple: If we create a business and use much of our time on it, do something we love and express our goal in life.



- We want to put passion before practicality. Yes, we want our business to succeed and make us earn money. But first we have to say the words that move us; that ignite our passion. It's like the old steam engines: The engine and the tracks are the practical structure of the business, but if there is no fire in the boiler, never move.



Make it real

I wrote my first mission in 1995 and revised four times a year to make minor modifications. I did this for two years, but it was not enough. Then, I received good advice: Read your vision, mission and values ​​aloud every day, and that is the first thing you do in the morning. These are the reasons:

- To vocalize. When we read something aloud, he reaches both sides of the brain. The left side is logical -racionaliza, but usually there no passion and commonly generates resistance and negativity. The right side is the source of emotion and motivation; and it is not always practical. To say something strong, the message touches both hemispheres and unifies.


- As a practical daily. Motivation is like exercise: as more you practice, the stronger you get. If you mess up one day, what does it matter? That's in the past is history. Just think about this for inspiration: Today is the most important day of your life. So, try daily start again.

- First thing's first. Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, teaches us to put "first things first"; this means starting each day with the most essential. And it's a great idea. The motivational coach Barry Gottlieb motivates us to take only positive and nutritious ideas, the first two hours of the day. Start your mornings with your vision, not with the newspaper!

Kim George, author of Coaching Into Greatness, states that have the mission of your company hung on the wall is something terrible. Instead, we need to make it real. I read my feet, as if he were about to run at full speed. So you also read yours stronger every day, in a dynamic and active, that excites your inner fire.


Feeds the fire when needed

Let's say we motivate every day and we are ready to face any obstacle, but how long will this attitude? On a good day, two hours; one bad, 10 minutes.

Almost every day something happens you off or lower the morale. It may be a complaint from a customer, an employee with poor performance, traffic causes you to be late for a meeting or miss a meal.

If this happens, it is time that reenfoques your vision. When a runner stumbles, what does? He stops breathing, focus recovers and starts again. It's not about how many times we fall but how fast we recover.

It is therefore important that you have a version of a line of your mission. So when something happens that you demotivate, stop, stand up straight, take three deep breaths and repeat your mission again. You can do this exercise in 30 seconds and will help rekindle the fire of your passion. Gradually you will feel how bad feelings go away.

Do not be ashamed to do so. You can practice it up in an elevator; what other people notice is how to renew your energy and commitment.

Mistakes to avoid

We share some things you should not do:

- Letting your mission to become your to-do list, not what you dream about doing.
- Letting your mission is what society wants you to do, and not what you want to do.
- Forget your mission and leave arrumbada in a closet or hung on a wall.
- Exploit you yourself. This will lead to wear and then to hatred.

The last point is a big risk for any business owner. When life is difficult (as often happens) it is easy to start saying "I have to do." And that is the road to burnout and to hate to go to work. To keep alive the passion for your business forget the 'I' and 'I'.

6 Keys to overcome the fear of failure

Failure is a constant factor that we have to deal with, especially when we see hundreds of successful executives with their companies fall. An entrepreneur has to learn to take risks, so it is vital to have internal shield to face criticism and fear of failure.

The fear created by us, so the solution also depends on our decisions. Remember that you can take advantage of any experience, no matter how negative it is. We present a series of tips to avoid that fear interfere with the operation of your business.

Planned. Strategic planning is a great help when making decisions, because knowing what is coming, it is harder to be afraid. A comprehensive analysis of both our environment and the organization itself, will allow you to choose those most appropriate for the development of business strategies. You have a properly planned strategy will give sufficient security to avoid falling into insecurity. The illusion to undertake and develop new projects should always be greater than the fear that they can go wrong.

Set goals. Goals should be realistic, adapted to economic reality, not unachievable. Companies must impose goals that make a difference for the organization, but without creating pressure or fear of not getting them. Goals should help us maintain the illusion, because it is a powerful engine to achieve what we propose.

Rate whom you appreciate. Come people who appreciate your path, those who know you in a while. Find someone to support you and ask the opinion of your performance and what you could do better. The person you choose, inside or outside the company, should be balanced and objective. Look no mere flattery, but someone who can always tell the truth.


There are no mistakes, only results. If things are not going as expected, does not mean you're a failure. Perhaps you're applying the formula does not fit what you want, so
you just have to change, indeed, find another better.

Nobody is perfect. We all forget things, we know that there are ways to make them better or simply act under the influence of unconscious behavior patterns. Not for that we will be irresponsible and we will not take the consequences of our actions. A margin of error is always valid, but you must know the point where it is no longer.

Learn. You can learn more from mistakes than from successes. Capitalizes on the experience, knowledge, skills, abilities and habits acquired in the process so they do not again take the same steps that did not lead you nowhere.

That fear, is yours?

In my years as a professional I have found that in the enterprise there are two main types of fear: self and alien. I have experienced both and I regret to report that none is better than the other.

The own fear is that fear or fear that we suffer after experiencing pain, discomfort, discomfort or difficult situations. This fear is the human response that we use to avoid passing again through that experience that simply were not pleased.

Instead, the fear is that fear of others that have not even experienced. It is the fear that someone has infused us, we have "seeded" or created based on other people's experiences. This we experience in developing empathy for the person who had the bad experience and clear it acquired as a shield to avoid us go through what someone else has already passed.

No one is worse than the other, much less better than the other. To solve both have to know the origin of our fears to attack the problem from the "root".

Can you imagine if you had been when you learned to walk (and you fell several times) if you had stayed with fear? Worse, can you imagine it would have been your education if you had never gotten over the fear of going to school the first day?



As rational individuals first thing to do is identify the source of our fears. Are you afraid to fail? Ask yourself why you're afraid to fail ?, and fail? Well, then that fear is yours and only you can take action to dispel.

Now, if instead you fear failure because someone failed or you know someone else told you it did, that fear is not yours. Remove it, combátelo, salt of fear as soon as possible.

How sales of other people's fear? Well simple, in the same way you acquired the alien fear at first. Read, learn from others who have had successful experiences. Learn from those who have succeeded. Fill your mind with positive thoughts and affirmations. After all, the battles are won in the mind first thing in the battlefield.

Now, if fear is all yours have to take action. What can you do? The first is to recognize the source of fear. I understand that the wounds of failure traumatized because I have been there.

The problem is that looking at the wounds and regretting not going to accomplish anything. Take action, move. Do you remember why you failed? Perhaps you did not have any knowledge, then educate yourself.


Did you missed help or support? Start by planning your winning team.

Make the decision to leave that place of sorrow, hardship and begins to act. Fill your mind with positive thoughts every morning, learn, live, corrects your mistakes.

If something should keep in mind is that while we are still not going to achieve anything. Unfortunately, accomplishing nothing is a way to fail. So overcome your fears and acts. We should be more afraid to live unhappy and dissatisfied that have fallen and rise a couple of times on the way we hit.
