Every year I hear about individuals who return from motivational conferences on a temporary motivational high who eventually lose their drive, enthusiasm and courage and slip back into a state of inertia. So what's going wrong here and is there a way to create powerful "self" motivation from within that will last? Read on to learn more about the problem and the solution.

There is a fundamental reason that motivation dwindles. Whenever an individual encounters some seemingly insurmountable obstacle in their life or work there’s the tendency to slip into a negative pessimistic or despairing mood. This is a state of energy and enthusiasm depletion which kills all motivation and reinforces itself.

The state is brought on by the powerful re-emergence of negative beliefs the individual carries subconsciously about their situation. Beliefs such as:

1. I will never succeed.

2. I am not deserving or worthy of success.

3. I don't have the resources to succeed.

4. I'm inadequate.

5. This is an impossible task.

6. If I don't see results right away I won't be able to sustain any enthusiasm for what I'm doing.

These are also associated with the pervasive need for instant gratification and a measure of impatience all of which serve to sabotage one's initial drive to succeed.

These underlying beliefs are rooted in earlier memories of failed attempts and the latter support, justify and strengthen the negative beliefs above. All of these memories reside in the unconscious mind and from there act to program the individual to fail. Fail, because they are identified with the memories i.e. they believe that this fundamentally represents who they are and what they are worth.

This identification process is something everyone is subject to because they, without question, accept that this past is "about them" and "happened to them". As a result it remains anchored within them and behaves as what I call a "set point" to which they are inextricably tied to. (An example of a set point is the desired temperature setting on your thermostat which programs the furnace/air conditioner to keep the room temperature set or fixed). In other words this programming keeps one programmed for and “set” on failure.

In order to remedy this one must, and I repeat, must change the set point. Simply attempting to over write it by forcefully changing one's belief system, as many motivational speakers attempt to do, will not do this. This is because the negative memories are still very much in place at the deeper subconscious level and like the roots of a weed will soon re-sprout the same negative beliefs as before.

It therefore becomes imperative that the memories themselves, i.e. the programming, be erased once and for all. Once this is done a very interesting thing happens; the person's Life Force Energy reintegrates with that person's mind and body and flushes out all the old programming and creates a new set point. The new set point is one that is permanently and powerfully aligned with a state of creative, energy, enthusiasm, optimism, resilience, self worth, self esteem, contentment, and motivation.

This new set point is one that I call a "life supporting" or "life enhancing" set point i.e. it is about life and success. As one nurtures this through the erasure of one's negative life history, all stored in the unconscious, one begins to live from a place of pure passion which needs no work to support, it just is!

All of this is possible with a new coaching process developed over 10 years ago which has progressively drawn to itself a great deal of positive attractive energy since its inception.
