Day 6 of 7 – motivation and thinking
Focus on Your Strengths
Everyone has strengths and they are good at something. You might be one of the millions of people who are working a job that does you no justice. You might have qualifications far and beyond what you are doing everyday. This is a goal you can set for yourself to use your strengths. However, on a daily basis you can practice the things you enjoy and the things you are good at. If you don’t have the time to do these things everyday you should put time aside to do these things at least three times a week or even throughout the weekend.
When you focus on things you are good at it makes you feel good. You should have a hobby if you are unable to do these things while you are working everyday. If you love arts and crafts or writing you should spend the time doing these things. This can help you become positive. When you focus on strengths and things you enjoy you will also become motivated to achieve goals focused around these things. This might include entering in a contest or applying for a job.
The best thing you can do for yourself is play on your strengths. Think about the things that you enjoy doing. Think about the things you are good at. You know you are good at something. You should think about these things and begin to focus on them. Set time aside for yourself to enjoy these things. Don’t think of something you are good at that you despise. Be sure you focus on something that makes you feel good. If you are not good at this task it is still okay. You can be the worst painter but if it makes you feel good and positive then you should continue. Pay no attention to any negativity that comes your way during this time also.
One last point, when you choose things to do that make you feel good about yourself be sure these things are healthy for you.

Day 5 of 7 days of thinking and its relationship to motivation
Did you see yesterdays post??
Day 5 — Look at the Funny Side
Life is funny. agree?
When you see the funny side of life and the humor in things you will have an excellent attitude. You will find the people who have the best attitude often have the best sense of humor. When you have a good sense of humor you will feel great about life and be positive too. A person with a positive mind is someone who sees the good in life and in even the little things.
This can also help you create motivation so you can move forward and take some action.
If you are someone who tends to be serious at just about everything you might want to take a step back and see the funny side of life. Being too serious can sometimes cause stress and worry. When you are stressful and worried you are also focusing on negative things.
Give it a go – Focus on the funny and the positive. In most cases, you might be able to find something funny about most things.

Day 3 of 7 day series – motivation and thinking
Day 3 Share
Another thing you can do to create a positive attitude is to give. Giving means not only gifts but your time, attention, and energy. You might give yourself by spending time with people who need it. Spend time with a friend in the hospital or do something to boost someone’s attitude. One of the best ways to boost your attitude and feel great is by giving to people.
You might give gifts but you don’t have to spend money. It is really simple to take five minutes out of your day to do something nice for someone else. In addition, it is common you will run across situations that are the perfect opportunity for you to step in and help them out. So many times people are stuck on the side of the road with a broken down vehicle and no one stops to help them like they used to. People just drive by and assume the person has a mobile. Help might mean giving someone the fifty cents they are short at the checkout or assisting the neighbor with building a fence.

Day 2 of 7 day series – thinking and motivation
Maintain Good Health
Motivation also means you must be a healthy person. You cannot have a positive attitude when you don’t take care of your body. There are three primary things you need to do in order to create a healthy body. These things include eating right, sleep, and getting plenty of exercise.
Your diet can have a lot to do with the way you feel on a daily basis. A balanced diet can make you feel good everyday and positive.
Eating a balanced and healthy diet means cutting out the fatty foods, the sugars, alcohol, and other things that get you down. A balanced diet can help you lose weight too. Being overweight can be a factor that causes you to be unhappy with yourself and have a negative attitude. The best diet is one full of fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken, and a lot of water. Watch your portion sizes too. If you are consuming the right foods you might just need to cut down on the sizes of portions you eat.
Exercise is also important to have a good attitude. It is good if you can exercise for 15mins on a daily basis. You don’t have to do aerobics or something too strenuous. Walking is one of the best things you can do for your body. A brisk 15 minute walk everyday will make you feel great and completely change your attitude. This will also make you motivated and create a positive attitude about the directions you can go in your life.
If you are someone who is restricted to a desk for a large portion of your day and you don’t think you have time to exercise that is just an excuse. There are desk exercises you can do while you are sitting at your desk. During your lunch hour you might choose to go for walk.
