subject: Get Yourself Motivated [print this page] I dont know about you, but quite frankly Im sick of hearing about the tough competition out there for physical therapy jobs. The fact of the matter is that there are an amazing amount of therapy jobs available for people that are motivated and ready to seize the opportunity. So today, were going to focus on 5 ways to turn negative thoughts into positive action.
1. You have a lot of potential - start recognizing it!
You may not be built like Arnold Schwarzenegger or be mistaken for a supermodel. But with positive thinking, focusing on your strengths, and self-determination you can achieve some truly amazing things.
2. Decide what you want - and set goals along the way.
Remember the old saying Rome wasnt built in a day? Well, it wasnt! When setting goals, its important to keep your long-term goal in mind, but set smaller goals along the way. This will help keep you motivated and patient.
3. Get focused and discipline yourself. Nothing in life is free.
If you want to meet your goals, youre going to have to work for it. Focus your attention on your goals and dont stray. Make sure each day you do at least one activity that centers around your goals.
4. Stop doubting your abilities and develop self-confidence.
Strike the phrase I cant from your vocabulary-because you can! Dont complain or get frustrated with little roadblocks. Instead visualize your success.
5. Avoid negative people.Negativity is contagious.
One of the easiest ways to become successful is to surround yourself with positive, successful people.
