Sometimes, it really happens that we are deep down in our worries. We feel as if there is no end to our problems. We feel as if we have fallen deep down in a well and our life can't get any worse....

GOOD NEWS !! If at that time we feel our life cant get any worse, and we are at the deepest point in a well, Then there is only one way - and that one is TO RISE UP. If our life cant get any worse, that means we are going to bounce back, we are going to feel good again and enjoy life.....Yeah

At that time, we need motivation to bounce back.....here is how we can do it...

1. One Goal
.
Whenever I’ve been in a slump, I’ve discovered that it’s often because I have too much going on in my life. I’m trying to do too much. And it saps my energy and motivation. It’s probably the most common mistake that people make: they try to take on too much, try to accomplish too many goals at once. You cannot maintain energy and focus (the two most important things in accomplishing a goal) if you are trying to do two or more goals at once. It’s not possible — I’ve tried it many times. You have to choose one goal, for now, and focus on it completely. I know, that’s hard. Still, I speak from experience. You can always do your other goals when you’ve accomplished your One Goal.

2. Find inspiration and get excited. Inspiration, for me, comes from others who have achieved what I want to achieve, or who are currently doing it. I read other blogs, books, magazines. I Google my goal, and read success stories.

3. Post your goal
. Print out your goal in big words. Make your goal just a few words long, like a mantra and post it up on your wall or refrigerator. Post it at home and work. Put it on your computer desktop. You want to have big reminders about your goal, to keep your focus and keep your excitement going. A picture of your goal (like a person having Mercedes car, for example) also helps.

4. Commit publicly. None of us likes to look bad in front of others. We will go the extra mile to do something we’ve said publicly. you can do it on your blog if you have one. And hold yourself accountable — don’t just commit once, but commit to giving progress updates to everyone every week or so.

5. Get support
. It’s hard to accomplish something alone. Find your support network, either in the real world or online, or both.

6.
Realize that there’s a rise and a fall. Motivation is not a constant thing that is always there for you. It comes and goes, and comes and goes again, like the tide. But realize that while it may go away, it doesn’t do so permanently. It will come back. Just stick it out and wait for that motivation to come back. In the meantime, read about your goal , ask for help , and do some of the other things listed here until your motivation comes back.

7. Stick with it
. Whatever you do, don’t give up. Even if you aren’t feeling any motivation today, or this week, don’t give up. Again, that motivation will come back. Think of your goal as a long journey, and your slump is just a little bump in the road. You can’t give up with every little bump. Stay with it for the long term, ride out the ebbs and surf on the flows, and you’ll get there.

8. Start small. Really small. If you are having a hard time getting started, it may be because you’re thinking too big. Want to wake up early? Don’t think about waking at 5 a.m. Instead, think about waking 10 minutes earlier for a week. That’s all. Once you’ve done that, wake 10 minutes earlier than that. Baby steps.

9. Read about it daily
. When I lose motivation, I just read a book or blog about my goal. It inspires me and reinvigorates me. For some reason, reading helps motivate and focus you on whatever you’re reading about. So read about your goal every day, if you can, especially when you’re not feeling motivated.

10.
Think about the benefits, not the difficulties. One common problem is that we think about how hard something is. Working 12 hours in office sounds so hard! Just thinking about it makes you tired. But instead of thinking about how hard something is, think about what you will get out of it. For example, instead of thinking about how tiring working long hours in office can be, focus on how good you’ll feel when you’ll get your salary slip, and what great gifts you can buy from that money.

11. Squash negative thoughts; replace them with positive ones
. Along those lines, it’s important to start monitoring your thoughts. Recognize negative self-talk, which is really what’s causing your slump. Just spend a few days becoming aware of every negative thought. Then, after a few days, try squashing those negative thoughts like a bug, and then replacing them with a corresponding positive thought. Squash, “This is too hard!” and replace it with, “I can do this!

I hope it helps :-)
