Simple Steps to Self Help Motivation

Have you been looking for resources for self help motivation? If you have found yourself bored with your day to day life or find that you have a lack of energy, then finding self help motivation may be the answer for you. Finding motivation in your life will help you rediscover new ways to live it; and, once you discover how to motivate yourself, you’ll realize just how creative and exciting your life will become.

A friend of mine used to sit around his house on the computer all day. He shut himself off from the outside world in many ways. The more separate he felt, the less motivated he would feel to go out into the world and find ways to stimulate his brain. Needless to say, this became a self-fulfilling cycle. In the end, he felt hopeless and powerless.

What he didn’t understand was that the more he gave into his hopeless feeling, the more he distanced himself from opportunities in the world around him. If you’ve ever felt like that, then you should know that the best thing to break this cycle is to act against your first instinct.

Because you’ve patterned yourself into a certain behavior, the best way to motivate yourself and break that behavior is to behave in new and different ways. You can start small if that makes you feel comfortable. Break up the small habits and rituals in your life.

Once you behave in different ways, you’ll start to feel different things. You’ll start to find motivation to break the same old patterns in your life. You’ll discover that inside you is a person willing to take rewarding risks. Once these risks are rewarded, even though it may take time to find the new behaviors that are most successful for you, you’ll find yourself easily falling into these successful behavioral patterns.

Find gratitude in your small successes. Find hope in the ability to change in accordance with your will and desires. Be determined in pursuing your hopes and dreams. Every journey starts with a single step, so start small and work from there. But don’t be afraid to push your comfort zone at times, because that is how we learn to grow and thrive.

My Think and Grow Rich Motivational Transformation to Success

Remember, too, that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they “arrive.” The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their “other selves.”
***************************************************************************
This paragraph for Think and Grow Rich is one of a two that resignated with me my 1st time through the book when it was given to me some 27 years ago when I was 21. It was given to be by a friend, a girl that when you met her yu know that she had something going on unlike anyone else. She was always very upbeat, motivated, excited and just Fired Up^^^ all the time.

The week that I was given Think and Grow Rich I was at a “crisis point” in my life, yes at the age of 21 I was in “crisis.”  I had moved to Texas from Nebraska on a whim with some friends when the meat packing plant we were all working at laid us off indefinately. The 1st year was a lot of fun although when I returned to Nebraska for Christmas only 10 short months later I was pretty beaten down by the big city and stayed home for 3 weeks almost not to return. But something inside said go give it one more year and see how it goes, so I returned.

I was working as a brick tender which if you don’t know what that is thank
your lucky stars! There had been some rainy weather so we were shut down for a couple days, when we returned to work the foreman felt the job had fallen behind and decided to pick up the pace. I was on top of a 2 story scaffle when the forklift pulled up with a load of 300 brick where normally it was only prepared for 200, when the fork lift set the brick down I stepped over to grab the brick from following the forks and as soon as I placed my weight on the wooden plank it gave way, and down to the ground me and 300 brick fell.

Now when something like that happens either you open your eyes or you don’t and I opened my eyes and the 1st thing that hit my mind was I’m never going to do this kind of work again.

So back to later that week I’m at home one night by myself busted up broke and broken ready to make the trip back when there is a knock at the door, its are female friend, I say ours because I had several roomates at the time. So we sit and talk for hours, I told her what was happening and that I was probably going to throw in the towel and head back to Nebraska. Her 1st words were and thats going to help you how? Then her next words were, wha kind of work do you think you will be able to find there? We talked some more and she said before she left don’t make any decisions or do anything I’m going to bring you something tomorrow.

The next evening she kept her word and when she walked in she handed me this book that was titled Think and Grow Rich BY Napolean Hill, she told me not to judge it just to read it. And I did, of course like everyone for the 1st time I couldn’t put it down, remember I’m just from a small town basically rural Nebraska my friends I had rarely if ever even heard of or seen a Mercedes or a Rolex watch or Designer clothes. Now I did have friends that were from wealthy families and lived at the private lake. While I lived on the south side of the tracks and my mother worked 3 to 4 jobs at a time raising three kids by herself. So to say I was not from an affluent back ground.

I’m now 48 or will be in a couple weeks and my life has not been perfect but I truly have been blessed beyond measure. I’ve continued my Personal Development Journey and even consider myself and expert on the subject.

I’ve literally read hundreds of books, listen to hundreds if not thousands of hours of audios, sat in meetings and trainings until I could’nt sit no more. And everyday the 1st thing I do after I Thank the Lord for another day, is pick up a book that I might get that one little nugget from that will make my day or help me make someone elses day which is what I enjoy to do the most!

Whatever you want to call it , Self Help, personal development the law of attraction, self realization, self motivation together it all helps anybody who who is open minded and takes acyion on the principles and techiniques.  It does not create a perfect life but it can help anyone have a better life than they would have with out it. Jim Rohn, infamous motivational speaker, trainer world renowed business philosopher said it best. ” A formal education will get you a job, a self education will get you a fortune.”

And to think it all started 27 years ago when someone thought enough of me to give me that 1st book Think and Grow Rich, I’ve given hundreds of books and programs away since that day and I spoke to thousands of people, the entire time just hoping I would touch that one person who needed to hear that one nugget that would turn their day or even their life around.  Jim Rohn also said,”when the student is ready thye teacher will appear.”  I’m glad I was ready when I was given that 1st book. 

Shortly after reading Think and Grow Rich, by taking that verse I stated above about a persons life turning around at a point of crisis, the second thing that I found and put to use was being persistent.  To get that story you will have to read the next article!

I hope you enjoyed my quick little story here, its definately the short version, those who know me well have heard more than they probably care to say!

If you have not yet, I dont care if you’re eight or eighty read the book Think and Grow Rich, By Napolean Hill, you can get one now on Amazon I think for less than $10.  Read it again and again, and read other books like it.

And I know you will Think and Grow Rich!

Thanks for Your Time!

When you get a second stop by the blog and let me know how you liked the book or other books!

what would suggest to improve high school drop out rates?

If you were infront of the board of education for your state, what would suggest to improve high school drop out rates?
I’ve already thought of improving kids’ self motivation and parent involvment. What else? This is a report by the way, I’m not actually going to the BoE

If you are in High School, think about the kids that you knew that dropped out, what did they have in common? I do teach GED and have heard probably one hundred different reasons for leaving school. Poor family life, low expectations from their environment, drugs, alcohol etc. It is difficult to break this circle of failure and not everyone will be saved. Many school systems have tried alternative High Schools with some success. Believe it or not, more structure in the school and not less, works well.

How do i get higher self esteem? Please help!?!?!?!?

I already write in a journal, take hot baths, and listen to music. My stress is SO bad that i lose my appetite and don’t eat anything other than a snack for the whole day. My self esteem is getting in the way of my relationship. And i’m only 13!!! Please help!

I’m glad you are deciding early on to seek improvement. This shows great maturity for your age, and I hope you give yourself credit for taking responsibility. Good for you!

1. If you or your family has a history of anxiety, it can be diet related. I know someone whose anxiety condition was caused by abnormal blood sugar levels, and got medical help to fix the imbalance. Her uncle had diabetes, and another relative had anxiety, and it turns out this ran in the family. So she got help in advance, to prevent from getting the same problems they did.

2. If it is spiritual, in your thoughts or emotions, can you look into the patterns of your relationship with your father or family? It is common for issues of “control” or “desire for approval” to be linked to fears or conflicts passed down from parents as authority-figures. So if you communicate, confront any fears, and reach an understanding, you can overcome any past patterns that may cause repeat insecurity, fear or stress. You will feel empowered by taking steps yourself. (If there were any past issues that made you feel weaker or inferior, if you can “forgive” these causes, and agree in the future not to let this affect you as much, and remember you are a “hero” and not a victim of the past, this method helps many people to move forward with courage and confidence.)

3. Please note that if you feel this is affecting your relationship, your partner may ALSO have patterns with a parent that is repeating like “role-playing.” How you see your parents’ relationships can affect how you treat each other, whether there is an imbalance of control or stress, or you have equal respect and harmony. So this is a good opportunity to study and learn to develop your best strengths, and resolve any weaknesses or conflicts early on, so you can enjoy life and relationships more fully.

Take care, and be sure to track your ideas and progress in your journal. So you can focus on the positive steps you are taking and build from there!

Best wishes
Yours truly,
Emily

P.S. Since you seem so advanced for your age, may I recommend a book that is normally given to high school graduates. “What Color is your Parachute” by Dr. Richard Bolles. The manual is FILLED with fun exercises and charts to evaluate your best interests, skills and talents, and show what jobs use them. So you can start thinking ahead what kind of work or career you would most like to look into. Some kids start a business while they are still in high school. If you can direct your energy and focus on something you enjoy doing well with your natural talents, that may help your esteem at the same time. There is also a manual “You Can Do It” by Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas full of project and career ideas for young women, step by step. Again, another great resource for researching and visualizing different skills or goals you might like to try out! Go for it!

Abundance Motivation, Meditation and Magic

Does Meditation Help To Get Motivated?

Does Meditation Help To Get Motivated?
Meditation has become a very general term for some people. It could simply mean somebody wants to be alone, or sit quietly, suppose regarding something, or simply relax. Professional meditators have fixed rules and routines regarding their specific kind of meditation. The one common element with them is that the length of time it takes to be told the way to meditate correctly, sometimes several years. If you know exactly how to use a type of meditation for motivation, then that’s great, and don’t want any guidance. For the rest people, we have a tendency to could use the term loosely, and say we are going to meditate, as long as we have a tendency to embrace deep relaxation and visualisation within the criteria.
These are the 2 essential factors for obtaining motivated, and even more so, for staying motivated. Being relaxed means that deeply, not simply sitting down listening to favorite music or t.v. shows. This will solely get you down to Alpha level relaxation, which isn’t effective for self programming kind visualisation. You need to urge into a minimum of Theta, and even better, Delta. Both are very deep relaxation states, and necessary to activate deep memory processing, firstly Theta, and then into Delta.
A sensible example is once I heard a soccer player being interviewed on camera throughout half time. He said he was disoriented and played badly as a result of he could not bear in mind a issue the coach told him before the match. All the directions he was given most likely did not go below his Beta level, which is that the acutely aware, superficial level. Being highly stressed and tense, he simply might not get the coach’s information into his deep memory, thus he forgot it when he walked out the door. This is often largely the coaching fault for not conveying the instructions when all players are relaxed. This should have been done a lot of earlier, and then all the coach needed to do just before the match, was to try and do a brief recall briefing. The players ought to have remembered it simply, because they already had it stored in their deep memory. The same for once they are on the sector during the game, all the ways should come naturally, without any effort or stress.
One knowledgeable in this sports memory training is Dr Ashley Craig, professor of Neuropsychology. He described his visualisation/memory strategy to me, and it was precisely as I would have done it. Dr Craig was fortunate to be given a Government grant of $40k on one occasion, to research this space of soccer mental memory. He based mostly himself at the Panthers clubhouse for this exercise. He worked closely with the players and their coach, and trained them how to visualise the desired game skills and techniques, after they were relaxed – to programme it into their deep memory. After only some weeks the team went from bottom of the competition ladder, to second prime!
Another example he gave me was how Roger Federer visualised himself hitting aces, for an entire hour before a tennis match. One hour is manner too long, because you can still do it effectively, in simply a couple of minutes, but anyway it works for him.
Effective visualisation is the key for motivation, therefore we tend to won’t use the term meditation, in case of confusion.

Why do some non-Buddhists practice Zen meditation?

I’m not putting down non-Buddhists who practice Zen Buddhist meditation; I think it’s great that they can still receive benefit from Buddha’s teachings. Is the motivation for them simply to relax and calm their mind?

The word “Zen” actually means “meditation.” There is of course a centuries-long cultural tradition connected with Zen practice, but it is first and always a PRACTICE. The focus is not, in other words, on beliefs and concepts.

(Actually the focus on beliefs and concepts is, speaking in general terms, more a Western religious approach.)

One can believe and think what one wishes and still benefit from the sort of honest intimacy with life that is the healthy heart and foundation of Zen.
~~~~
EDIT: After offering the above I received the following from OP Jack:

“Buddhism as a whole is a religion with doctrines, beliefs, and philosophies, and I wouldn’t say that it’s a Western religious approach; all religions have beliefs and concepts, including all Eastern Religions, including Buddhism. Don’t try to turn Buddhism into something it’s not.”

I’m a Buddhist minister, with graduate degrees in both Western Theology and Buddhist studies. It’s a somewhat subtle but important point: there are LOTS of ways human beings are “religious.” The key to my mind is to look at the practical experiences underlying and giving rise to beliefs and rituals and the like. Some Buddhists are heavy into “faith” (namely, the Pure Land sect), but speaking broadly, “belief” is more emphasized by Western theistic currents (giving rise to “creeds”). Many Hindus, Taoists, Confucians, and, especially, Buddhists — although they might embrace “trust” in their teachers and in the tradition of teachings — the emphasis tends more to be on what you do and what you experience, rather than what you profess to believe.

A good example is the Kalama Sutra in Buddhism, where the Buddha calls on his listeners not to believe him, or anything simply because it’s been said many times, but to accept instead only what they have found in their own experience to be healthy and wholesome and true. And Zen Buddhist takes that to a practical limit — inviting its practitioners effectively to question everything they can conceptualize, to let go of concepts altogether, and connect with something much more original and simple and fundamental than any mere idea.

10 Tips for Writing an Undergraduate/Graduate Research Paper

Research paper writing is a very crucial assignment for graduate or undergraduate students. Writing knowledgeable, articulated and scholarly research papers make students well-versed in research paper writing. Consequently, students begin developing original ideas out of their minds. However; yet some students fall short of the idea behind undergraduate research paper writing & fail delivering the assignment on time since they do not plan their research well.

In order to guide those students who fail to meet the standards of research paper writing; here are a few tips for them which they should follow to complete their undergraduate/graduate research paper on time:

Tip No 1: When selecting a topic of your graduate or undergraduate research paper; you should ensure that you choose the topic of your interest. Choosing a topic of interest will keep you motivated throughout your research paper writing assignment.

Tip No 2: Perform initial research in the beginning of your writing assignment to find out whether original data regarding the subject exists or not. You should make a mini proposal and consult with the supervisor to guide you how you should go along with your graduate research paper writing assignment.

Tip No 3: Select a research question for your research writing paper assignment by carefully analyzing significant areas for study regarding the subject of your interest. Try to come up with a research question that fulfills the criterion of suitability and acceptability.

Tip No 4: Develop a hypothesis on basis of your research question. Hypothesis will aid you come with the research aims and objectives which you should accomplish for carrying out your research work successfully.

Tip No 5: At first, you should perform a secondary research by thoroughly studying published books, articles, journals or articles related to your research topic. Review the literature and tell how the literature is going to help you throughout the research.

Tip No 6: Once you are done with the literature review, you should decide the methodology that you will be going to adopt for your research i.e. appropriate to the topic of study. Pick an appropriate methodology and decide the data collection methods for your research.

Tip No 7: Conduct the primary research to gather original data regarding the subject of your interest. For e.g. if research topic is related to culture-oriented topic; then, participant observation can be a good technique for research.

Tip No 8: Once you are done with the data collection process, you should start analyzing the data for accumulating results. Present results in form of table or charts according to the nature of your research findings.

Tip no 9: Results will aid you conclude whether your hypothesis was right or wrong. In conclusion, tell the readers what went well or what went bad with your research. You should also tell whether the objectives of research were achieved or not.

Tip No 10: If the research on the same subject is performed once again you should recommend what can be done to improve the obtained results. At the end of your graduate research paper, you should list down resources which you have utilized under the heading of references and bibliography.

how to get out of my depressed mood right now?

im usually a pretty happy person. but today im just upset about school and my grades, (im a college student). and i am in a terrible mood right now. i really could use a friend to talk to but no one wants to listen. i also dont like ranting to my friends too much, dont want to be a burden on them.

If you’re usually a happy person, then lets assume that this mood you’re in will soon pass over. When it does, you’ll regret not working on that paper. If you’re paying good money for your education, don’t waste it. I remember pulling late nights back in college (many years ago now!) and making it an adventure. I’d relish the nights and think about the fact that at some point, my life will change and there’s no way I’d be up all night. Then…my kids came and that theory was proven wrong! Nonetheless, these stresses must be looked at logically, and not emotionally. I make lists and look at these busy times like schedules that need to be followed. Prioritize what needs to be done and start knocking stuff off, all the while leaving room every day to do something for yourself. About this paper, do you have an all-night, or late-night, radio station you can listen to? I used to love gettin the oldies stations and listen to Zepplin or The Doors or even the Beatles at 3am in the morn. I took breaks on the hours and would take walks to help wake up. If it’s due tomorrow night, then you still have plenty of time. Work until a certain hour, get some rest, then plan to work on the paper tomorrow. Approach it like a job and when your “shift” is over, realize that that’s all you can do at this point and hand that beeyotch in! By the way, what’s the topic? The course? I teach english and could give you some pointers.

Clep Study Strategies

If you’re trying to get a “jump start” on your college education by taking advantage of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), you’ll want to develop some good CLEP study strategies. CLEP testing is a good way to get inexpensive college credit, but as there is nobody to hold your hand or motivate you but yourself, you’ll need to be very self-motivated and disciplined in order to successfully pass a CLEP exam.

Fortunately, you are not the first to take this road; you can benefit from clep study materials and strategies developed by those who offer the test as well as those who have gone before you. You’ve Been Here Before As a result of the NCLB (“No Child Left Behind”) boondoggle, the agenda of forcing standardized tests down the throats of schoolchildren went on steroids over the past seven years – but chances are that it provided you with a lot of good practice for CLEP testing.

You’ll find that a clep exam is very similar to all those standardized tests that you were forced to take over the years and that some of the test-taking strategies your teachers tried to expose you to will serve you well. Be aware however that a CLEP exam differs from those standardized tests in that it is actually meant to measure your knowledge of the subject in question – not simply how well you take tests. Advance Planning Clep testing covers most of the subjects taught at a two-year college or are typically taken during the freshman and sophomore years at a four-year university. The best time to begin CLEP study is before you enroll in college if you are attempting to complete your lower division coursework this way. It’s also important to understand that you will not find every CLEP exam offered at every testing site.

If you live in a major metropolitan area such as Denver or Portland, Oregon, this shouldn’t be a problem as such communities have several colleges. It may make it difficult to obtain the CLEP testing you need or want if you live in a small town however. Putting Your Back Into It The other issue that surrounds CLEP testing is the fact that there is no immediate extrinsic reward involved – you either pass or you don’t, and there is no teacher to stand over you forcing you to study. Consider however that the program can save you up to two years and several thousand dollars in tuition and fees. Healthy Body, Healthy Mind Getting back to the topic of test-taking strategies and CLEP study, make sure that you are well rested and have eaten a high-protein breakfast the day of the test. All the CLEP study in the world will be of little use if you have “crammed” the night before and are operating on only a few hours’ sleep.

Motivation To Lose Weight: How To Keep It Sky High!

Where is your motivation to lose weight?

The diet seems to stretch on before you like an endless desert, your body has long since ceased to lose weight. They tell you you are on a diet plateau, but who cares. The diet food is boring and you just want to chuck it all and have a slice of hot, cheese-dripping pizza. Where has your motivation to lose weight gone?

Reasons you have no motivation to lose weight.

“I lost interest faster than I lost weight!”

In order to maintain your motivation to lose weight you need to have variety in your diet. I remember losing weight with the Cambridge Diet, but then I gave up and quit because all I could do was drink their powdered diet formula. I had no motivation to lose weight after about two weeks on the program.

“I felt trapped, as if every meal was a chore.”

There’s a real motivation killer. If you feel trapped by your diet plan, then you will have no motivation to lose weight and without motivation to lose weight you will quit your diet plan. I know the feeling, for me it is more like claustrophobia. I feel like I am never going to be able to enjoy a meal again, and believe me I love food. You need to have the foods you love, occasionally, in order to maintain your motivation to lose weight. A good diet plan will allow this and some actually demand it!

“I could not stand the thought of dieting like that for the rest of my life!”

Oy, I hear you on that one! If you are on a diet that you maintain your motivation to lose weight with the rest of your life, then you have already lost the motivation to lose weight whether you realize it or not! Diets should be sustainable, interesting and fun to do, or else you will have no motivation to lose weight! Motivation to lose weight is maintained by great food, believe it or not. And if you find a diet plan that acknowledges this, you will also have found the secret to maintaining your weight after the diet is finished.

“I had serious food cravings that drove me nuts!”

Nothing destroys your motivation to lose weight faster than cravings. If you just try to “gut them out” they will persist and persist until they get you. Why not have a diet plan that acknowledges this fact and accommodates it? Motivation to lose weight will be high and not be undermined by cravings!

“I didn’t like the feeling of not fitting in socially!”

Who likes to always be that strange guy or girl that sits in the corner trying to hide the lettuce leaf they are eating while the party rages around them. You will definitely have no motivation to lose weight if it means being the social outcast all of the time. You see, when you eat differently than everyone else around you at a social gatherings, at some level you are making people feel judged. I know it isn’t fair but it is fact. Motivation to lose weight will come much easier if your diet plan allows you to eat normally at social functions and, yes, there are such diet plans.

No motivation to lose weight?

Perhaps your “no motivation to lose weight” is due to one or more of the problems we have discussed above. If so, why not find a plan that eliminates or reduces these issues and gives you a chance to have a high motivation to lose weight !

External Motivations In Macbeth?

I’m trying to come up with some different things that motivate Macbeth to becoming a ruthless, blood-thirsty killer, but I can’t think of many external factors besides Lady Macbeth.

The witches are an external motivator. They set his downfall in motion. Without them, he would never have killed Duncan. (Lady Macbeth only waters the seed that they planted in his head.)

However, don’t forget he *starts* the play as a ruthless, bloodthirsty killer: “Brave Macbeth, for well he deserves that name,” who was killing the Norwegians in battle, ripping them open from their guts to their jaws with his sword. Hmm…sounds pretty ruthless and bloodthirsty to me.

The War for Talent $4.08 Talent, as defined by Ed Michaels, Helen Handfield-Jones, and Beth Axelrod, is shorthand for a key employee who possesses “a sharp strategic mind, leadership ability, communications skills, the ability to attract and inspire people, entrepreneurial instincts, functional skills, and the ability to deliver results.” It’s also, they contend in The War for Talent, an overarching personnel characterist…

Fundamentals of Supervision and Motivation for the New Super

What Employees Want

Most people spend the majority of their time at work. Consequently, how the employees feel and behave, inside and outside work, is at times driven by the dynamics of the work environment. When managers understand and apply motivational techniques they can increase employee productivity, employee creativity, and employee loyalty and satisfaction.

It is necessary for managers to understand and practice basic motivational techniques in order to effectively manage their staff. The best known motivational theory is likely Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (see figure of pyramid below)

Motivation Theory Fundamentals
Psychologist Abraham Maslow first introduced his concept of a hierarchy of needs in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation” and in his subsequent book, Motivation and Personality. His model suggests that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other needs. Using common sense in a logical and methodical model, Maslow depicted the driving forces behind human motivation.

At the lowest levels of the pyramid are the most basic needs, while the more complex needs are located at the top of the pyramid.  Needs at the bottom of the pyramid are basic physical requirements including the need for food, water, and sleep. Once these lower-level needs have been met, people can move on to the next level of needs, which are for safety and security. As people progress up the pyramid, needs become increasingly psychological and social.

Soon, the need for love, friendship and intimacy become important. Further up the pyramid, the need for personal self-esteem and feelings of accomplishment take priority.

Maslow emphasized the importance of self-actualization, which is a process of growing and developing as a person to achieve individual potential.

Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Maslow categorized human needs into 5 areas:

1. Survival: Need for food, water, and shelter. This includes medical services, electricity, transportation and phones, all of which can be jeopardized by natural disasters.
2. Safety/Security: Need for protection (military, police, fire-department and insurance), employment, health, property.
3. Social/Belonging: Need of family, friends, co-workers and associations.
4. Self-Esteem: Need for appreciation, recognition, respect of others, and respect by others.
5. Self-Actualization: Need for self fulfillment and happiness, which is mostly met through career, marriage and parenthood.

Maslow did more than just categorization. He stated that these needs do not have equal force all the time. For example, when a hurricane threatens our need for survival and safety/security, that becomes our number one priority

However, for most people in America most of the time, the survival and safety/security needs are met with the help of local police, fire department, local governments, hospitals, employers, the military, and other public utility companies. These needs become merely basic expectations that people pay little attention to. What people care about and are motivated by are the three highest level needs in the pyramid.

Employers satisfy Maslow’s fundamental survival and safety/security needs primarily through a paycheck and benefits plan: Earnings and Benefits are used to buy groceries, get shelter and insure against other life’s necessities.

In the workplace, the highest-level need of self-actualization and much of the employee self-esteem are met through the work itself: Job Quality: employee recognition, employee contributions, reward systems,  and company culture. Managers can  contribute to an employee’s need for self-actualization by creating workplace and learning opportunities for the employee career advancement.

Managers can also address the social/belonging, and self-esteem needs with workplace support (supervision, teamwork, and recognition). The following  section lists 12 simple but proven techniques that managers can use to motivate employees. Each technique can be easily categorized into an area within the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs model.

Management Tips to increase Employee Motivation

1. Pay employees fairly and well and they will forget about money.
   • Once this basic need is met, it becomes a lower priority in the employee’s mind. The employee will be satisfied with the fair wages and will focus his/her attention on contributing to the team and being recognized for his/her efforts (job quality). When employees are not compensated fairly they continue to struggle financially to make ends meet. This becomes an obstacle for the employee’s motivation. The employee may have to find additional part-time work, may have to requesting over-time work or eventually seek employment elsewhere. It costs money when organizations need to take the time to find, interview, hire, and train new employees. There are also hidden costs when an employee leaves the organization. The vacant position responsibilities may need to be picked up by the available staff , overall staff productivity may be affected, and the staff stress level increases. This in turn adds the risk to lose other valuable employees.
2. Treat every employee with respect. Show the employees that the organization cares about each employee as a person and not just as a worker.
   • Employees are more productive when they feel good about themselves. When employees do not feel respected or appreciated for their work contribution, their work has no meaning and the employees become discouraged and eventually leave the company.
3. Communicate clear goals, responsibilities, and expectations.
   • Write each goal down on a page. Each goal should be clearly stated in 250 words or less. Prioritize goals and only assign reasonable but achievable goals within a timeline. Ensure that the staff clearly understands goal completion timelines and what is expected of them. Assign employee accountability and ensure the employee understands how important his/her contribution is.
4. Praise staff accomplishments and any attempts made towards the achievement of goals. 
   • Be on the lookout to praise accomplishments soon after they occur. Praise any efforts used to accomplish any goals. Sometimes trying alone provides invaluable lessons. Be Careful!  Do Not be on the lookout to punish mistakes. This is a behavior of bad managers. Set a good example, be a leader and do not imitate bad behavior.
5. Make reprimands as needed but in a cautious way.
   • Never criticize the person but the behavior. Everyone makes mistakes. Turn the mistake into an opportunity for the employee to learn how to do it better next time. Never reprimand in public – redirect in private. Let the staff hear that they are important to the organization and have the needed management support and tools to do a better job next time.
6. Recognize performance appropriately and consistently.
   • Praising does not need to take up more than one minute. The mere gesture of praising tells the staff that their contribution matters. Avoid delayed praising. Capture the moment. Praise the staff in public. Employees need meaning in the work they do or they will do a mediocre job. People have the need for continuous feedback.
7. Involve employees in plans and decisions, especially those that affect them.
   • Solicit employees’ ideas and opinions. Get them involved and make them feel part of the team. Encourage initiative. By doing this, employees will feel that their opinion matters to the team and the organization and will feel the urge to make a contribution.
8. Create opportunities for employees to learn and grow.
   • Link organizational goals with the goals assigned to each individual. Ensure the staff understands the value they bring to the company. Make them feel they are an important part of the team. One of the greatest accomplishments of a manager is to prepare his staff to step up to greater responsibilities within the organization. Effective managers encourage their subordinates interests in other areas of the company. Companies prefer to grant career growth opportunities to existing employees. This promotes good employee morale and usually results in the selection of capable candidates that will hit the ground running. Bad managers stifle employee creativity and limit employee opportunity in fear of losing their own job. This behavior negatively affects managers in the long run.
9. Actively listen to staff concerns – both work related and personal.
   • Make the staff feel that they have a manager they can talk to about anything that may interfere with their work or personal life. By being sensitive to a staff personal concern (example: divorce, death in the family), and by making any necessary accommodations to help the staff feel less stress, managers help to increase staff loyalty.
10. Share information promptly, openly, and clearly.
    • Tell the truth and with compassion. The rumor mill exists and employees use it to hear some version of the disseminated information. Trying to keep information hidden from employees, especially if the information affects them, only projects a management image of deception that diminishes trust. By telling employees information they need to hear, a manager can defuse any misunderstanding that creates unnecessary stress and that reduces employee productivity.
11. Celebrate successes and milestones reached – both organizational and personal.
    • Create an organizational culture that is open, trusting, and fun. Be on the lookout to praise successes, not on the lookout to punish mistakes.
12. Never say anything negative about the company or other employees.
    • Employees get discouraged if they hear their manager venting negatively about other employees or the company. Managers represent the organization and have access to information that the staff does not. When managers speak  negatively about the organization, the staff hears that is time to seek employment elsewhere; When managers speak negatively about other employees, the staff begins to question the manager’s trust. Never talk negatively about anyone or the organization. The rumor mill will ensure that everyone hears a grave version of what was said.

In conclusion, by continually applying these simple motivational techniques managers will develop employee trust, will increase employee productivity, will increase employee satisfaction and employee loyalty. The final outcome will be a team of very productive and satisfied employees.

What is your favorite kind of music/food/natural medicine to improve the quality of your study?

I’m talking about anything you do to increase motivation to study

Conventional and over-the-counter study aids may contain large amounts of caffeine to keep a student awake and in concentration mode. However, this is unhealthy for the body, and will usually result in extreme fatigue when the study period is over. Another concern with conventional study aids is the disruption of sleep patterns and the inability to fall asleep (because the mind is so over-worked). For these reasons, over-the-counter study aids should be researched very carefully and healthier options should be considered.

Natural Remedies
Instead of using caffeine-based over-the-counter products to try and stay awake and alert, remember that many natural herbal and homeopathic remedies can be used throughout the year to help you stay focused without stimulants while studying. Ingredients such as Centella asiatica and other herbs, can promote mental clarity, memory and brain function while at the same time improving blood flow in your brain – helping you to absorb info and remain un-distracted while you study.

Finding Accredited Programs for Learning Sign Language Online

While learning sign language seems challenging at first, after you begin you’ll see that it is easily picked up. There are quite a few who believe that learning to sign is much easier than learning another spoken language. For even easier results in learning sign language, be sure to follow these tips. It’s a rewarding course of study, and there are many advantages to learning sign language in today’s world.

Depending on what you need it for, the way you learn sign language will vary. If you are doing it as a hobby, or maybe to talk to a deaf friend, you can learn at your own pace. However, if you want to learn it to become an interpreter or for another career purpose, you will have to get certified.

This usually means taking classes at a university, but today you can also find accredited programs online. It is often easier to learn in a physical classroom, however, since the nature of sign language means that you must observe the instructor carefully. You can still pick this up watching through your computer if taking classes in person can’t work for you. If this is your goal, there are lots of schools that offer sign language certification.

Since it takes quite a bit of practice to learn sign language effectively, you may want to look for a partner to study with. It’s a good idea to take a class with your learning partner or download the same program in addition to regular practice sessions. This can be someone you go to school with, work with, have regular coffee breaks with, or another family members who wants to learn sign language. Having a partner allows you to not only practice signing regularly but also to keep each other motivated. Look online through social networks to find a partner to practice signing with if you can’t find someone on your own. It’s much easier to learn when you have someone doing it with you.

It’s very helpful to watch sign language as much as possible when you want to learn. Observing others is the next best thing when you can’t actually practice it yourself. Find TV programs, videos, or movies that show people signing. Many TV shows today are close captioned, which means that there’s seldom a sign language interpreter. There are movies where people are signing, however. If you look on the internet, you can find a variety of videos and websites that display it. You must expose yourself to sign language as much as you can if you want to learn.

In conclusion, there are now many ways to learn sign language depending on your motivations and whether or not you need certification. Be patient with yourself as you begin learning this fascinating language, as it requires you to acquire a whole new way of using language.

The above tips will help you as you learn sign language, and you will find that as you practice you’ll become much more comfortable.

What does this mean ?

It says :

A fixed punishment means that no matter what the circumstances, the person who committed the crime gets that punishment.

” circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it, should be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. ” this means that the court should look at why the person committed the crime before deciding on the punishment.

For example if a person stole £100. There might be a fixed punishment a £1000 fine.
If you take the circumstances and motivation into account – perhaps the person was a destitute single mother and needed the £100 to buy food for her baby and to pay the rent. In that case there is no way she could pay the fine,and the court might decide she needs help not punishment.
