Send small gifts in time and tell yourself you're great

Psychological research has shown that in the absence of any incentive and reward stimulus, people's abilities can only be exerted by 20%, and after being motivated, the potential of the same person can be at least 80%, which fully shows that motivation plays a vital role in the achievement of goals.

There are plenty of examples in life that prove that rewards make you perform better. For example, students who are often praised are often better than their peers, and employees who often receive high bonuses perform better. Even small animals need to be motivated, and animals that are rewarded for food tend to be more willing to cooperate with the trainer and perform more spectacularly. To motivate yourself and achieve your goals faster and better, you must master the methods of self-motivation in moderation.

Every time you achieve a goal, even if it's a trivial one, you should reward yourself. The prize is yours to choose, as long as you like it. It can be a cool running shoe, a popular music player, a nice outfit, a pair of nice shoes or a hearty meal. The prize must be pleasing to the eye and inspire you to feel good, but it must not conflict with the goal. You should never reward yourself with a high-calorie dessert when you're working on your weight loss goals; while you're busy taking IELTS, it's best not to reward yourself with something that might distract you. For example, if you are a music enthusiast and don't want to do anything when you are immersed in music, it is best not to buy a music player.

Prizes can be tangible gifts or intangible treats, and you can reward yourself with a walk-and-go trip, or you can do your hair carefully, give yourself a day off, don't fulfill any obligations, don't do anything, just do what you like. For example, in his spare time, he served the flowers and plants, sat under the flowers and trees and squinted his eyes in the sun, or lay comfortably on the grass and casually reverie. In short, everything should be based on the premise of being happy.

Some people may think that rewarding themselves prematurely will not prompt them to enjoy satisfaction in advance, so that it is not conducive to the ultimate realization of the goal. In fact, as long as the rewards are designed scientifically enough, this kind of thing will not happen. Before the ultimate goal is completed, do not raise the reward to the highest standard, the prize should be moderate, both to bring yourself some positive feelings, but also not to allow yourself to get the greatest satisfaction prematurely.

Life is like a stock, although there are countless ups and downs, but most of the time the price is relatively stable, the price rise to the peak is rare. Most of the time, you are busy executing your goals, and the moment of achieving the goal is just a small node, it represents the highest peak of your ability to reach, which is precious to you, so you should reward yourself, let yourself remember and reminisce about such moments, in order to better look forward to the future and face the next journey with a more positive attitude.

When Dong Yan first came to Beijing, she was just a college student with nothing, she rented a narrow rental house of more than ten square meters, and she had to take a bus for two hours a day to work. After the price of the subway rose, she almost never took such a convenient and fast means of transportation again. When she first graduated, her life was very difficult, almost every day just ate a bowl of cheap instant noodles, accompanied by the school to visit the mall, she almost did not buy anything, and deposited all the money saved into the bank card.

In order to get rid of this obscure day, Dong Yan set herself a goal, within three years she must become the most valuable employee in the company and live the life she wants. Dong Yan strives towards this goal every day, and every time she achieves a small goal, she will reward herself, sometimes buying herself a beautiful dress, a delicate bracelet or other delicate trinkets, sometimes drinking a glass of red wine happily, and happily eating a hearty dinner. These small rewards warmed her gray life, and no matter how hard her life was, her mood was always clear. In the blink of an eye, three years passed, she was promoted again and again, and finally became the most potential and valuable employee in the eyes of the boss, and the remuneration also rose, and since then, she has lived the ideal life in her mind.

Give yourself a small gift in time, give yourself an affirmation, an encouragement, tell yourself that you are really great, implant a positive consciousness into the subconscious, and you will work harder towards the next goal. Japanese sales king Natsume Tsurugi will give himself a big or small reward every time he completes his goal, give himself a big reward for big achievements, give himself a small reward for small achievements, sometimes he will buy a new set of clothes for himself, and sometimes he will watch a wonderful movie. In life, you can make a reasonable reward system for yourself according to the size of the goal, and increase the reward accordingly as the difficulty of the goal increases.

Small rewards do not consume too much energy, it is best to enjoy a day of beach sunshine, buy yourself a bouquet of flowers, play a game of golf on the green field and so on. Big rewards can be appropriately increased, such as a hot spring in a tourist destination, a luxurious meal at a high-end restaurant, or a limited edition leather bag.

It should be noted that you must give yourself a reward after the goal is completed, and you must not take the reward first and then execute the goal, otherwise the reward will lose its effectiveness. Self-reward should pay attention to the method and amount, everything to motivate themselves as the core, must not be rewarded for the reward, the pursuit of the goal is left behind. Understand that rewards serve the goal and cannot be put before the horse at any time.
