You Got This – Self Motivation

, , ,

In most cases it is easy to feel defeated, overwhelmed, unworthy, not doing the right thing, being a poor example to others, the list goes on and on. That’s the problem with self reflection and the impact we have on our self-esteem. We’re tough, we’re mean, we’re respectable, we’re unable to accept that WE do a lot. We are so great in the eyes of many, but not in our own view. YOU ARE WORTHY!

As I go down this journey of self motivation it’s key to really digest WHY you are important, you are. Alot of times I find myself questioning my own self-worth throughout life. It could be easy to give up. It could be selfish to think of myself. It could be simple to look at others and compare. YOU ARE WORTHY!

So, this is a short post about self motivation and the keys to success about our internal demons and how they can control every day perspectives, BUT you can control it. You have to! YOU ARE WORTHY!

Why should i self reflect?

  • I’m a great person filled with compassion and expressive thought
  • I’m a son that was provided with amazing experiences thanks to my parents
  • I’m a Dad that always wants the best for the development of my children
  • I’m a husband that cares and respects my partner’s feelings
  • I’m a person, I have feelings, I can own my mistakes, I can always improve
  • I AM WORTHY of a happy life outside of anxiety and depression
  • I AM who I am, I have so much to give

The route to happiness is rooted in self motivation and as I repeat myself, YOU ARE WORTHY! Be YOU, be respectful of your own feelings, be a motivator of those around you.

 

 

Shut it DOWN: The inner voice reality

, , , , ,

We all have that inner voice that compels us, tells us to do something, tells we aren’t worthy, we are not good enough, we can be better, we will never achieve greatness, we can do anything we put our mind to, we can change, we will fail, we will be better some day, we we we…… What does your voice tell you?

I certainly struggle with this every day. I expect the best but understand that I have obstacles, burdens, commitments, the strive to be the best self possible. It may not always be for me, for my family, for overall lifestyle, it is what it is. I suffer from the inner voice and its control over my every day life. #complacency

The voice can be good or bad, depending on the day, but it doesn’t have to be a WE. The “inner voice” has its own motives. It’s a calling to be better, to feel fulfilled, to be the best dad, the be the best husband. It can also break you down and make you look back on life in regret or self disappointment. It can also be your inner champion for growth OR your biggest critic. Can you channel the good and overcome the bad? I sure am trying.

At the end of the day we explore ourselves and we try and explain the reason we have life. We feel the burden, we feel the stress, we feel the need to be the pillar of strength to our family. We need more….we need to silence or learn to control the inner voice.

So here it is, I’m somewhat broken, I strive to be the pillar, I want to provide, I want to be more. I CAN! I can be the man i want to be! I can focus my mental thoughts on what matters most….ME.

One piece of content that I feel speaks true to myself and many other men out there is Dr. Robert Glover’s “No More Mr Nice Guy”

In this book you can begin to realize that the inner voice begins with you and what you can do to better understand your feelings and emotions. You can be a fulfilled individual, you can be proactive in your own care, you can be the voice of reason that guides you to betterment. You can be you!

As I overcome my own personal battles I push this on to the others in the world who see hope as something they’ll never achieve. It comes down to courage and the willingness to try and learn. Don’t pin yourself down to no end, change the mindset to know that happiness is achievable. It’s there, you just have to want it.

Some key points:

  • “How come I always seem to give so much more than I get?”
  • “All I want is to be appreciated. Is that asking too much?”
  • “I can never do it right.”
  • Scream at yourself to be better
  • Be the man you want to be
  • Understand your worth
  • Be YOU
