“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.” – Vince Lombardi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start this Monday off with a list of the top 10 ways to motivate yourself.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

1. Set a specific goal<\/strong>
\n\u201cA goal without a plan is just a wish.\u201d ~ Larry Elder<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.Give it a deadline<\/strong>
\nSetting an exact deadline gives you a time frame for accomplishing your goal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Write it down and hang it up on the wall<\/strong>
\nBy writing it down and hanging it on the wall, in plain sight, it becomes a constant reminder and part of your everyday life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Surround yourself with motivation<\/strong>
\nPut up motivational quotes or signs all over your workspace and living space. Post our Fav Ali memes!<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Break it down into small bite-size pieces<\/strong>
\n\u201cSuccess is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.\u201d ~ Robert Collier<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Exercise<\/strong>
\nIn order to get your blood and creative juices flowing again try running in place, jumping jacks, push-ups or just dance! What is important is to get up out of your chair at least once an hour and move.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Pump yourself up<\/strong>
\n\u201cNothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.\u201d ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
\nSo, do some fist pumps, flex those muscles, jump up and down, be your own \u201ccheerleader\u201d \u2013 and get excited.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Don\u2019t fear failure, just do it!\u00a0<\/strong>
\nJust keep swinging! \u201cEvery strike brings me closer to the next home run.\u201d ~ Babe Ruth<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Reward yourself<\/strong>
\nSet mini goals and reward yourself when you accomplish them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Be present and have fun<\/strong>
\nBe in the present moment and enjoy what you are doing.<\/p>\n
