7 Ways to Create Momentum in Your Life
Feeling stuck makes it hard to get started when trying to change something in your life.
Try these ideas to start creating momentum:
A small accomplishment early in the day can motivate you to do even more later in the day.
- Be productive as early in the day as possible. Whatever your big goal in life happens to be, do something about it first thing each day. It’s a great way to show yourself that you’re serious about being successful. It’s also a way to build a lot of momentum that can carry you through the day.
- For example, if you want to lose a few pounds, go for a quick walk first thing in the morning.
- If you want to write a book, write one page before leaving the house.
- Are you interested in learning Spanish? Learn three new words before breakfast.
- Make your bed every morning. It might seem unimportant, but it can make a big difference. You’ve barely woken up and you’ve already accomplished something. You’ll also appreciate it when you go to bed. Try it for a week and notice how much better you feel about yourself.
- Find a coach that can help you achieve your goal. If you want to lose weight, find a coach that’s experienced in weight loss. If you want to make 6-figures, find a coach with the experience and track record of teaching others how to make money. A good coach will teach you the most effective and efficient ways to achieve your goal.
- Be consistent. Get started and keep going. If you stop, it’s important to get started again as soon as possible. It’s near impossible to gain momentum without consistency. Consistent action is the key.
- Perform a 30-day challenge. A great way to build momentum is choose a habit you’d like to create and force yourself to do it each day for the next month. When the 30 days are up, you should be able to continue. You’ve already been doing it for a month after all. What’s another month or decade? Easy.
- Have a vision. A compelling vision for the future can be the motivation needed to get started and to continue until you experience success. Think about what you want to accomplish. Who do you want to become? What type of life do you want to live? Create an attractive vision of a future that fills you with excitement.
- Take action. Most of us do too much planning and spend too much time gathering more information. The people that accomplish the most are those that take action quickly, consistently, and aggressively. Momentum results from focusing on the actions you can take and actually taking the action.
Create a long-term plan for your life that excites you!
With momentum, you can accomplish anything. Without it, everything feels impossible. There’s no substitute for a work ethic of taking action and perseverance. If you’re feeling stuck, take action and start creating momentum.
