Keep it Simple (KISS) Motivation

Created for your sanity by, Joan U`ilani Meeks

Being very busy and going out of my mind most days working to be a successful business owner I work to keep everything as simple as possible. Many ask me how I stay motivated. Honestly it is a daily struggle. I appreciate the compliments, but behind the scenes I am as mixed-up as chop suey. My husband is witness to my madness for the last 40 years, which I consistently tell him “there is a means to my madness.” I would say having an excellent support system, my husband, helps a lot.

Here is a simple puzzle for you to use to engrain the many words you should refer to when trying to motivate yourself to accomplish those HUGE

Motivation combines the incentive to create enthusiasm to spur ideas together with the impulse to use your energy to make all your wishes a reality.

Don’t make it complicated. Take simple words and their meanings, and implement into your daily life. When faced with a problem look at these words and do your own selftalk. What do I need to spur to keep myself going? Spur is outgrowth, branch, offshoot how do create that in my motivation to keep myself going? Ask yourself the questions and kick yourself in the behind.

As we say in the Badass Brigade, “What Would Donnie Do.” Just asking yourself that question should get you motivated.
