Online Fun and Business

Many studies have been done to research the effects of motivation and mental health. As the implications of helping those with negative self-esteem, depression and anxiety are immense this is certainly an area of research that deserves a great deal of attention.

Psychology Online reports on a study investigating the differences between INTERNAL and EXTERNAL MOTIVATION. The report states that “Although our society is largely extrinsically-motivated by external rewards such as money, fame and power, research has indicated those who are intrinsically-motivated by inner desires for creativity, fulfillment and inner satisfaction are psychologically healthier and happier.”

How can this help you?

The study of health psychology seeks to understand how our ability to cope with stress can help us to prevent illness and promote health. Some of these coping mechanisms are naturally inborn but may be taught to those who lack them. Motivation is one of the tools that researchers are trying to use as a combatant of negative stress reactions.

Motivation is something that we use every day. It’s what enables us to survive - to get food because we’re hungry, to go to work to pay the bills or to educate ourselves in order to pursue a higher goal in life.

How we respond to life’s demands can affect our overall health. How are you classified?

The same report on Psychology Online identified those who respond to life with negativity or anxiety as most likely to deal with the physical affects of anger, guilt, nervousness, frustration and fear. These emotions can cause hypertension and high blood pressure which can lead to heart attack or stroke. Other complications include ulcers, arthritis, asthma and kidney disease.

Some therapists suggest that by using positive self-talk and trying to restructure the WAY we look at events can offset the physical and mental effects of dealing with negative or stressful events in life.

Interestingly, people who tend to focus on themselves as the controller of their fate - in fact ’self-motivated’ - are more likely to feel a sense of control when stressors affect them. Instead of blaming something or someone else they have the motivation to deal with a problem and look for a reasonable solution. This positive behavior helps them to achieve goals and find personal contentment.

Therapists try to teach patients how to emulate this positive reaction to stress and use their motivation as a source of empowerment. Learning to manage stress and using motivation to set goals, work through a problem or fix it can in turn promote better mental and physical health.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. — Dale Carnegie

There are a few people who don’t work out because of their false beliefs about working out. Some teenagers don’t start because they are scared that their growth will be stunted. Some adults don’t start because they are scared that it will give them massive injuries. They bring up excuses about people who got injured for life by lifting weights. These initial fears arise because of the feelings of uncertainty in life. The person who is about to start going to the gym and has never been there before is very uncertain about what is going to happen and therefore creates momentary excuses so that they don’t have to start. It’s all a way of putting it off. A very famous word we are now familiar with to describe this condition is procrastination.

In the same way, people in life who want to become successful, are also misinformed and use these very excuses. They say “Why should I start a new business? Nine of out ten new startups fail all the time, how can I expect to be successful?” These people come up with multiple excuses instead of just getting started. Some people want to write books but never get started because the statistics show a slim chance for new authors making it to the bestseller list.

We have to realize that failures are also exceptions to the rule as much as success is! The people who got seriously injured while exercising in the gym were exercising inappropriately and over-strained themselves. How can you use them as an example of what will happen to you? How can you take someone else’s failure in business and apply the conclusion that you will fail because they failed? Does it make any sense? Doesn’t it make more sense to learn from other people’s failures and then using that knowledge to create the business to make sure it will work out well rather than imagining how you are going to ruin?

You should always remember that the fears that the person holds before going to the gym are as false as the person who fears to start on any venture. The reason that it’s false is because it is based on speculation. You haven’t done it yet so how would you know? Why would you predict failure for yourself in the gym or in achieving success? Nothing is holding you back but your prejudices on getting started. Eliminate those fears by taking action. Just sitting there and doing nothing about it is not going to get you anywhere faster.

The only advice for you to get you to start something is to JUST GET STARTED. The person who sees that promise about what getting fit and lean will bring them, as well as the person who envisions success for him/herself should get started and then continue with their best efforts. You might fail if you start, but at least you will get somewhere, the chance to succeed is still there. You can always “correct your course” because now you know where you are going and you can get some feedback as to how you are doing.

However you are guaranteed to not get anywhere if you don’t start. Your fear that stops you from starting has no truth in reality. Realize this and get going on making your dreams real. It’s your duty to your highest self to do this. It is a sin to not live up to your highest potential. Fear is just a test of how badly you want it. Are you willing to pay the price of overcoming the fear? Are you going to take on the challenge of greatness that is facing everyone in this word but which only a few conquer? I dare you to make the most of yourself. Take me up on my offer and see your life dramatically change for the best since that is all you have inside yourself– the best!

Work, meetings, deadlines, appointments, telephone calls,
shopping, taking the dogs out etc. - all these are things most
people have to accomplish daily. Most of the times, on the
waiting list there are other things like: family, friends and
even ourselves. Sometimes we discover too late that the points
mentioned on the waiting lists are, in fact, the most important
and, unfortunately, sometimes, we don’t realize this at all, so
find ourselves wondering for what reason we are so unhappy.

There are different books and seminars that help us find out
what the best option for managing our time is. All these sources
are against enemies and they intend to offer you the best
solutions to eliminate it for good, or at least to reduce it
drastically.

All this people know that time is more than money - time means,
first of all, life and, more than that, it means our lives. That
is way we have the obligation not to surrender in stressful
situations and to go fighting for the joy of living. Let’s not
forget also that deficient management of time can produce
tremendous health problems, both at the physical and mental
level.

But there is good news! Time can be domesticated - we can make
it, in certain manner, obey us. First step in implementing this
process is to identify the elements that robe your time.
Normally, they are divided into two groups:

- The external factors (unexpected phone calls, very long phone
conversations, unplanned visits, the policy of open doors, not
sufficiently trained personnel, frequent meetings, interruptions
caused by colleagues, friends and family etc.)

- The internal factors - related strictly to our own persons
(priorities and objectives that change, the lack of a daily
working plan, lack of self imposed deadlines, the tendency to
take care of too many things at the same time, disorder,
lateness in resolving the conflicts, incapacity of saying no,
lack of decision, tiredness).

By reading the above enumeration, you probably pictured recalled
all the similar situations that you went through. Now, all you
have to do is to find a way to defeat and eliminate them, so
that you can be the mater of your own time again. Here are three
possible ways in which you can do that:

- Get used to write everything down. It is useful, especially if
you have a bad memory. Otherwise you might fail to remember to
go to important meetings, to make important phone calls, to
answer messages you promised you would answer. You can also
write down great ideas and inspirations that occur to you in the
most unexpected moments.

- Make a list of priorities. It takes you very little time to
draw it and you can even do it while you’re having your morning
coffee. Write down, the things you need to do that day, in the
order of their importance and urgency.

- Learn to say no. One big mistake that a lot of us make is that
we put other people’s problems in front of ours. Nevertheless,
by helping them in a bad moment for us, we give rise to
frustration, stress and we find ourselves unable to respect
previous engagements.

All these advices are also present in Jean-Louis
Servan-Schreiber’s book New art of time against stress and they
invite us to meditate that more than a weapon against stress,
time management is also a philosophy of life.

These options are up to you and it’s best to know about each of them before signing onto to any new agreements with your lenders.
