Affirmations do work – but only if you’re affirming something you actually believe to be true. Visualizing the process of reaching your goal, rather than the outcome, increases the likelihood that you’ll achieve it. Willpower works to motivate you – up to a point. That’s the point at which you run out of willpower because its a finite source. “Intrinsic” motivation – rewards directly connected to doing the activity you are trying to motivate – is the way to go here. Punishing or scolding yourself (or someone else) may be one of the most commonly practiced forms of motivation.
