讓自己充滿衝勁的10個祕訣! 10 Tips to Help You to Stay Motivated!
不斷努力再努力、認清自己，並且願意給自己找到強大的動力；你就有力從事任何設定的目標。  --  Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
歡迎回來！今天我們要談論的主題是『動力』。要說到怎麼作能夠啟發你投入每天的工作還滿棘手的；你知道你所必須要做的事情、你知道你的目標，以及你想要完成的工作任務。
Welcome back! Today we'll talk about motivation. It can be tough to inspire yourself every day to put in the work. You know you have to, you know your goals and what you want to accomplish with this work.
然而，你是否發現你花了更多的時間在短暫的喜悅當中，像是收看自己最喜歡的電視節目放鬆、和朋友吃中飯，以及逃避工作。要避免這個狀況的關鍵點在於：每天給自己一點小動力。
Yet you find yourself moving more toward short-term gratification, such as relaxing over a favorite television show, having a long lunch with a friend, and in general shying away from working. The key: small motivators, every day.
以下的小建議可以幫助你充滿衝勁：These tips will help you stay (or get back) on track.
讓自己充滿衝勁的10個祕訣 10 Tips to Help You to Stay Motivated.
1.    量化並記錄自己的進度，例如製作圖表或是完成進度階梯圖；我就很熱衷於這一項。
Keep track of your progress in a quantifiable way. Make a chart, a graph, a set of stairs with steps that you mark off each day. I'm a big fan of to do lists.
2.    每星期都張貼一張新的金句良言在桌子上面。
Post a new quote above your desk each week.
3.    尋求家人或朋友的協助。小孩子擅長製作卡片，或是你的丈夫可以幫你打包一個豐盛的午餐。從朋友和家人來的任何一種形式的鼓勵都會提醒你當初要做這份工作的初衷。
Ask your friends and family for help. Kids are great at making cards, or your husband can help out by packing you a nice lunch. Encouragement in any form from friends and family reminds you why you're doing this to begin with.
4.    出走走吧！早晨坐在辦公桌前先去散散步、騎腳踏車、或從事任何一種形式的身體活動！
Go outside. Take a walk in the morning before sitting down to your desk, or a bike ride, or some other form of physical activity.
5.    冥想。工作閒暇之餘可以抽個十分鐘的休息時間，坐在一個安靜的地方並面對窗戶或牆壁，接著，淨空思緒。這將可以幫助你放鬆和集中注意力。
Meditate. Take a ten minute break from working, sit down in a quite place facing a window or blank wall, and clear your mind. This will help you relax, and focus.
6.    思考創造力。在現階段的工作中，參與其他的腦力激盪課程，並且運用跳出框架的模式思考來思索今日完成目標的方式。
Think creatively. Do another brainstorming session on the current stage of your business, and think outside the box about ways you will achieve success, today.
7.    穿著明亮顏色的衣服。這會讓你的心情活躍起來，並提醒你自己是個堅強、果決的人，且有足夠的能力完成目標。
Wear bright colors. These help perk up your mood, and remind you that you are a decisive, strong person who has the ability to accomplish her goals.
8.    思索他人是如何啟發你的。寫下五個你心目中的商業啟蒙人物，並針對個人分別寫下兩個句子，闡述他們是如何達到成功的，以及為什麼這些因素對你而言是重要的。
Consider how others inspire you. Make a list of 5 of your business idols, and write down two sentences for each about how they became successful, and why they are important to you.
9.    確保你有適當的休息。假如你一星期工作六天，想辦法挪出時間給你的小孩，和另外一些時間留給自己。休息是保持動力的重要因素。
Make sure you take time to relax. If you've worked six days this week, carve out time for your children, as well as some time for yourself on Sunday. Rest is an important part of staying motivated.
10. 享受你正在做的事情！留心當下，不要藉由想像在未來的某個時間點會有第100個客戶、賺到大筆的金錢，或是自己的網站收到五十筆正向的留言來讓自己開心。
And finally, enjoy what you are doing! Be mindful of the present moment, and do not sustain yourself entirely by thinking you'll be happy at some distant point in the future when you have your 100th customer, or make x amount of money, or receive fifty positive reviews on your site.
最後，對於現在正在做的事情感到開心，就是現在！這是保持你的動力的最重要因素。
Be happy with what you are doing, right now! This is the single biggest factor in sustaining your motivation.
