Do nothing. Another way to sustain your motivation is to periodically do nothing.

Try to accomplish something that matters.

While doing something may be better than doing nothing, doing the right thing is better still.

When you are overwhelmed with an endless to-do list, start with anything, just to "get some points on the board.”

Start with your big goals and then put today's work in the context of achieving them.

Take 30 minutes at the beginning of each day, when your mind is still clear, to review your goals.

How To Attract Happiness In Your Life and Business

http://bizonyourterms.tv/ In this episode Lisa J Peck shows us five fundamentals to obtaining happiness in life and business!

Start each day with a review of your goals. In a 24/7 world, it's easy to lose sight of where you ultimately want to go.

Even when you are completely in sync with your goals, you are still bound to hit occasional psychological roadblocks.

To work towards your peak, what you do must be in sync with what you enjoy doing and with what you believe in.

A related point to hitting the peak has to do with making sure your work is aligned with your talents and your values.

In order to hit the peak you must first assess whether you really believe you can achieve your goals.

If we pay attention to the basics, and lock them into place, we can stay on a strong course.

Most of us don't have the luxury of performing at anything less than our peak. Hitting that peak day after day is a test on its own.

Events happen in our personal and professional lives that can get us off course. They can all take their toll on our motivation levels.

As challenging as your work and personal life can be, sometimes the biggest challenge of all is just staying motivated to step it up.

Many rewards come from plugging into the accomplishments you're making. Celebrating might create momentum and urge you to try even more.

Do something to celebrate the small accomplishments.

When was the last time you did anything for celebration? Not for huge wins, but for those small things you accomplish daily.

When was the last time you did a happy dance? The last time you really got down and did a dance of celebration.

What gives your life meaning and value? Do you have enough of that in your life?

What would you need to do, or what path would you need to be on, to accomplish your purpose in life?

Start asking yourself what you want to experience and what you want to accomplish.

Ask yourself what you want to do before you die. How do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to leave behind?

If you are one of those people, aimlessly stomping through your day, stop!

Is it likely that you will live a life of fulfillment and passion, a life without regret?

A lot of individuals journey through life without a clear outline for their life, clueless as to what direction they want to take.

How many people would get on a plane where the pilot hasn't yet determined where he or she wants to go? Not many.

Life can put a lot of demands on you and it is up to you to step it up!

Do the "Salute to the Sun" yoga postures every morning.

Write in a journal first thing in the morning, for 15 minutes, without editing or judging. Pour it all out on paper.

Walk the dog while whispering all the things for which you forgive yourself.

Say a small prayer, read a meditation book or holy book. Recite a poem each morning to greet the day.

Go to your room or your car and sing to yourself. Hum quietly as you work.

Lie on the grass outside. Connect with the earth’s regenerating powers.

Go for a walk. Exercise increases adrenaline and endorphins, the body’s natural antidepressants.

Ask for help. It’s a gift that allows others the opportunity to give.

Watch a funny video. Laughter has a positive effect on brain chemistry.

Light a candle. Light one small candle at your work desk or lots of candles around your house.

Listen to violin, cello or piano music. Let the music elicit tears.

Dance alone, with or without music. Let your body lead the way.

Wrap up in a blanket. Cuddle.

Breathe. Remember the breath’s metaphor: Let in; let go.

Write down all the nurturing things you can do when overwhelm begins to visit.

Noticing the symptoms and triggers of being overwhelmed is like setting off the two-minute warning buzzer.
