Listen "6. Mindset Tips that Keep Me Motivated as a Busy Mom in Business"
Episode Synopsis
Here are 3 Mindset tips that keep me motivated:
Understand that there is no pain, no gain! YOU WILL FALL and GET HURT in the process.
2. Find your crowd --- attend events, masterminds, meet with other people who are wanting or already doing what you want in life.
3. Focus on what brings you joy, and Hire the right people in the right places -- keep you accountable for the rest. This is something that I am continuing to work on, and I feel Is the biggest challenge for me today!
If you enjoy a task, you are less likely to need the motivation...it will come naturally.
I work to keep track and evaluate where I am spending most of my time, and slowly try to decrease the amount of time I am spending in my non-joyous box, and increase the amount of time I am spending doing the things that I actually enjoy doing.
I have found that if I focus on joy, I am more likely to COMMIT to it in the long haul and get the results I want. I am more likely to get through all the challenges, without quitting, because, at the end of the day, it is the joy in the journey and outcome that I crave. It is easier to get up and stay motivated when you are limiting your focus on the things you hate and start focusing on the things, and outcomes you enjoy.
So with that being said, it takes practice and time to stay motivated. I am still working on it also! There will always be days that you “don’t feel like it” -- But, to be quite frank, you will only be COMMITTED to the things you actually want in life. Not what you think, you want, or what someone else wants you to want. So, get really honest with yourself and start small...start journaling a list of the things you enjoy doing or the outcomes you enjoy, and keep a record of those that you don’t. Just a simple list would work. When you’re ready, you can begin handing off those things that just simply don’t serve you, whether it’s negative people in your life that suck the energy out of you, or its a task that is so tedious and daunting you want to crawl into a fetal position - let it go. When you let go of those things and tasks you can allocate that time to other things. It will get easier to do as you build that habit over time.
I am constantly trying to work on this one specifically and some things can be harder to let go of than others!
So aside from these mindset tricks, a couple of other things I am working on are self-discipline, my health/sleeping habits, and nutrition. I tell ya what, by the time this episode airs, I will be expecting a new baby girl in just 8 short weeks!! These late-night bathroom breaks or Cinnabon-loving pregnancy cravings are hitting hard, and it has been a little more or a challenge for me to focus on bettering these habits at this moment! as I am just trying to enjoy this last bit of pregnancy and squeeze as much up-front work in as possible so I can take time to rest enjoy her and the family once she arrives. So just allowing myself this wee bit of grace during this time, is also a conscious choice I’ve made to help me stay focused on what matters most -- and That my friends, is My Homefront. Wishing you all the best for you and yours during these holidays, thanks so much again for tuning in! We will chat again soon!
