"Personnel Management", 2008, N 3

Shocking, but merciless statistics, arguing that the fluidity of ordinary employees and low-level managers is 100 - 150% per year, is a reality. Of course, this is characteristic primarily for Moscow and for trading. And there are several explanations for this:

Moscow is spoiled by an excess of labor;

The employer wants rapid (instantaneous) return on personnel;

The labor market is the myth that money decides everything.

This statistic is the result of the employer's attitude to its staff. By and large, it turns out that the staff is a burden, unnecessary, unnecessary link, which only interferes with the work. It turns out (paradox!) What will be better if it was not at all. It goes without a case, something asks for, he is late for work, it does not want to work, it dresses carelessly, how to customers, etc. etc. Therefore, the attitude towards it is the same. Because of the overaffect of labor, no one thinks about how to keep the employee. Application on the table - and goodbye. We find new workers. Won how much!

Moreover, the situation is often often taken for a trial period (3 months), knowingly reducing him a salary at this time, and do not even think about the conclusion of long-term relationships with him. Then the person is fired as not as the test period, they take another place in his place on the same conditions, and everything is repeated in a circle. Take the third, fourth, etc. What salary saving! Temporary relations, temporary workers, temporary work ... Temporary becomes law! But, as you know, there is nothing constant temporary. Therefore, the fluidity is higher than any rules and rules.

Someone suits it, but before a certain time, someone is not. And then the employer begins to think: so what is the case? It seems to be crying no less than on average on the market for this category of workers, and they go. I find new workers, and these again go. It seems that workers are not bad, but something does not suit them. What to do?

Personnel - the main asset

Improving the efficiency of the enterprise, on which production growth depends, the increase in the quality of life and GDP growth (the main tasks of modernity), and indeed the work of the enterprise, are impossible without personnel. The staff is the main asset of the enterprise. Without staff, the tools of labor is dead. No matter how perfect technology and equipment were perfect, whatever the automated system, without people, without their knowledge and training, without desire and the ability to work, without proper motivation and sufficient stimulation, all this or does not work, or does not give adequate return. Therefore, a person is a key link at any enterprise. And the motivation and stimulation of humans are the main indicators characterizing the efficiency of this key level. No wonder the motivation and stimulation today go to first place in the personnel management system. And the leaders seem to begin to understand it.

Therefore, it is quite natural to the employer: Do you know what your main asset lives is your staff? What cares about what he is concerned about how he evaluates your incentive system?

The ratio "motifs - incentives"

Let's start with the Azov. What is a motive and what is the stimulus? What is motivation and what is stimulation?

Recall that the motives are internal motives of an individual employee (individual motives), groups of people (group motives) or team (collective motives). In short, the motive is what drives man and people.

The concept of "motivation" is used in the sense of the formation of individual, group and collective motives. Motivation also understand the process of influence of incentives for motives to obtain the required level of motivation.

In turn, relative to a separate employee, group or team incentives act as external motivators in labor, activities and work that the enterprise addresses. And the stimulation system is determined and constructed in the enterprise based on its capabilities, goals and level of professionalism of managers.

Based on such an understanding of motives and stimuli, as well as the corresponding motivation and stimulation systems, there are various relations that determine the rules for management in the current practice of the enterprise.

The rule is the first: the greater the incentive system corresponds to the motivation of the employee, the group, the team, the stronger its action and the higher the effectiveness of the stimulus.

The rule is the second (reverse): the smaller the stimulation system corresponds to the motivation of the employee, the group, the collective, the weaker its action and the lower the effectiveness of the action of incentives.

The main trouble of the Russian employer is that the identification of this relation (paradox!) Was based and continues to be based on the inner sense of the head of the motivation of his staff. This feeling is based on the following elements:

On the vision of the relationship of workers to work, performing their tasks and functions;

On the assessment of quantitative and qualitative results of labor;

At the perception of various statements of workers with respect to the existing system of stimulating, and above all wages.

Nobody or almost no one thought and does not want to think that the staff can also have their own opinion that he can also have its own motives and their interests that he can also evaluate the incentive system addressed to him and so on Today, today, a relevant way to reduce staff turnover is a decisive transition from the sensation of the motivational environment to its systematic measurement and study and improving the system of stimulating the enterprise. In this regard, a new management rule arises.

The third rule: do not believe the leader who motivates his staff based on personal sensations. Believe information received from the original source. Put the system of collecting and processing information on measurement and analysis of the level of motivation directly from employees, groups, collective.

Here, the most important condition is an individual approach and personal relation to the employee. Each person is individual. Each in different ways assesses certain incentives. Everyone has their own motives. To calculate them, you need to "climb" in his soul. Say to find an approach to a person to understand what he breathes, that he worries him, where his main strings. And then you will better understand who in front of you. I realized this, you will be easier to establish contact with a person, it is easier to build a management process through cooperation.

The main thesis is that the staff is not a gray mass, but a set of individuals, that is, individuals. Recognize them. Hence the new rule.

Rule Fourth: All people are different, have an individual approach to each person, and so that it is effective, understand the individual motivation of each employee.

How to measure motivation?

Live interest raise issues of practical measurement of the level of motivation and the definition of individual (group, collective) motivational balance. The motivational balance is a relationship between motivation (which attracts that drives the employee) and the antimolization (which repels what causes a negative attitude). Methods of practical measurement of the level of motivation allow you to move to real digits from sensations. On the basis of such measurements, the system formation of motivational statistics of personnel and its study is possible.

Since this is our know-how, we would not like to give a specific methodology for measuring the motivation level in this article. Such techniques are known, they are quite a few. Their essence is to digital determining the individual level of motivation and the motivational balance of a particular person, taking into account a number of factors:

Working conditions;

Labor organization;

Interest in the content of the work performed;

Psychological climate in the team;

Wage;

Style of superior guide;

Level of professionalism of managers;

The possibilities of self-realization;

The prospects for the existence of an enterprise.

Then, according to a group of workers, the average level of group motivation is determined as a medium-media amount of individual levels of motivation of workers who constitute a group (department, plot, workshop), and the team of workers is determined by the collective level of motivation (large division, branch, enterprise).

I would like to stay on the following. When measuring motivation to obtain comparable results, it is important to use one method. Hence the new rule.

Rule fifth: when measuring the level of motivation, use one method. This will provide an opportunity to form motivational statistics and obtain results comparable in time, which will make a conclusion about the dynamics of changes in the level of motivation and the effectiveness of certain incentives.

And the most important point is to overcome the psychological barrier between the employee and the head when measuring the level of motivation. Unfortunately, it often happens that the workers climb and do not give objective information, afraid to offend the manager, so as not to call, God forbid, a negative attitude towards himself. And therefore, when measuring conducted by the head (superior instance), distortions are frequent, and the picture is drawn according to the principle of "what is omitted?". It is clear that such information is far from reality and cannot be based on the analysis of motivation.

Therefore, it is better to charge this difficult job to entrust the third uninterested party, in front of which the employee will be easier to reveal. This may be a consulting company, which on the principles of outsourcing can be charged with work on the measurement and analysis of the level of staff motivation. Hence the new rule.

The sixth rule: to obtain reliable data, trust work on the measurement and analysis of the level of personnel's motivation to the third party, to which it will be easier to reveal to the employee, a group, a collective.

As for the measurement frequency, the interval is optimal once a quarter. This will reduce the assessment quarterly and track the effectiveness of encouraging methods in relation to the execution of quarterly planned tasks.

How to use the results of the motivation analysis?

The tasks facing the third party, which is charged with the measurement of the level of personnel motivation, may be the following:

1) systematic measurement and study of the motivation of employees of various enterprise divisions;

2) Evaluation of the effectiveness of systems used at the enterprise and methods of labor incentives;

3) Development of proposals for improving the stimulation system in relation to various categories of enterprise employees;

4) definition and implementation of new methods of labor incentive;

5) the rationale for new wage systems in relation to different categories of employees of the enterprise;

6) the formation of statistics in terms of staff motivation and estimates of the stimulation system with the subsequent use of information to develop a strategy for the development of motivation and the personnel stimulation system;

7) study of the experience of domestic and foreign enterprises to assess the motivation and the use of various methods of stimulation.

So, we measured the level of motivation, determined the motivational balance. Our further task is to obtain estimates by employees of the inhibited stimulation system. It is important to understand how one or another level of motivation is associated with an applied incentive system. Upon receipt of such assessments, we must understand how the employee (individually) estimates the specific methods of stimulating applied in the enterprise. And separately evaluated:

Methods of material incentive;

Methods of social package;

Methods of moral incentive;

Methods of organizational stimulation.

These estimates are needed to obtain a full picture that connects the level of staff motivation with the system of stimulating it. Without this connection, it is impossible to talk about the full development of the motivational system at the enterprise, since we practically cannot affect the motivation (it is difficult to change anything in a person in my head), but we can change the stimulation system, as close as possible to motivation. Hence the new rule.

The seventh rule: Go from measuring the level of staff motivation to estimates of the incentive system used, believing that the established connection between them will create an effective incentive system, an adequate level of motivation.

But now we have collected all the necessary information to move to the constructive part of the work, namely, the creation of proposals for improving the systems of motivation and stimulating staff. It also needs to maximize the wishes of workers. To do this, collect suggestions that each of them would like to add to the existing stimulation system. Analyze the wishes received, combine them, select the most popular, compare them with the motives of workers and ... boldly go out with proposals to the manual. Success is provided! Such a system will definitely work!

What is especially important in it? It is very important to divide the motivational system for motifs (which encourages) and antique (which repels). Practice shows that the meaning of improving the stimulation system is to "improve the antique". Therefore, the most important tools is to obtain information about the antimitations. For a person, it is much more important not to strengthen the pros, and level or even eliminate minuses. This is a more effective tool that gives a powerful positive effect. Hence the new rule.

The rule is the eighth (last): when improving the stimulation system, focus on eliminating antique and anti-estimulov, as a more efficient way to improve the efficiency of the incentive system.

The question often arises: is it possible to achieve a state when the line is erased between incentives and motifs and, accordingly, the stimulation system is equal to the motivation system? Yes, perhaps. This is the perfect case, and in some small enterprises, where a person is more open in terms of its motivation and management is interested in improving the efficiency of activity, it is possible to achieve such equality. Thus, for small enterprises, this topic is especially relevant and in demand.

Usually, such an equilibrium state is disturbed by the so-called positive dynamics of individual motivation (the growth of motivation), which is influenced by a variety of factors, significant of which are changes in the personal life of the employee - marriage, marriage, the emergence of a child, the need to improve housing conditions, etc.

Personnel Management according to the measurement results of motivation

Measuring the motivation level and assessment of the stimulation system allow a new look at their employees. As we said, all people are different. But the same person behaves in different ways in different ways. Just one job to him, as they say, in the buzz, and the other is a knife to the throat. At one work, the incentives are somehow consistent with its internal motives, and there is no. And employers also evaluate their employees in different ways.

In general, in each person there are internal scales (see the shown scheme), on which it weighed, on the one hand, motives and incentives (positive), and on the other - antique and anti-estimulas (negative). And depending on what outweighs, he behaves at work. So the employer assesses him as an employee.

At the same time, depending on the ratio of motives - antique (M and AM) and incentives - anti-stimulus (C and AC) We can mentally divide workers into the following categories:

The ideal worker who has motifs and incentives to significantly outweigh the antique and anti-estimulas;

A good worker who has motifs and incentives simply outweigh the antique and anti-estimulas;

The average worker who has motifs and incentives is balanced by antiteration and anti-estimulas;

A bad worker who has no anti-flames and anti-estimulas to outweigh the motives and incentives;

A nikudny worker who has antique and antistimulas to significantly outweigh the motives and incentives.

All these situations are discussed in detail on the shown scheme. The results obtained in this way can be actually used to manage personnel.

Suppose, discontent from the employee incentives caused by the accumulated advantage of antique motives over motives, is becoming some psychological face. The employee begins to search, finds and eventually goes to a new place of work, where his motivational balance (as he hopes) will be different: the motives will "translate" antique and, accordingly, incentives - anti-estum. However, if you do not bring the job to the "boiling point" when it is impossible for the reverse stroke, this situation can be calculated as a result of regular measurements of the level of motivation and in the proactive procedure to take certain measures to correct it. Namely, it is necessary to think about the incentives to neutralize the antiotives and anti-estimulas. Naturally, provided that this is a valuable worker who needs an employer. But it can be done on the contrary. For an uneven employee, you can tighten the system of incentives, and then he himself will leave, alleviate the procedure for his dismissal.

Thus, due to changes in the human stimulation system, you can "move" according to the table below, both to the right left and left to right. In the first case, we are going to meet the employee and increase the level of its motivation, in the second - on the contrary, we lower.

Examples of processing of motivation analysis results

Conducting Practical consulting or training seminars in enterprises, conducting people in enterprises, we do not just teach people new approaches, but also identify their problems and in the first approximation we create a solution to solve problems.

a) at the enterprise of a large business (let's call it the PKB) and

b) at the enterprise of the Middle Business (let's call it PSB).

Both enterprises are quite characteristic of Russia.

1. At the enterprise of the PCB, an analysis of the motivation level of participants in the training seminar on nine motivational factors was carried out. Assessment of the motivation level was made on a 9-point scale, where 1 is the lowest estimate (low level), and 9 is the highest assessment (high level). 30 people took part in the diagnosis, which is about a third of the total number of this category of employees. Therefore, the results obtained can be considered representative.

Calculation of average estimates of estimates showed the following picture (factors are arranged as estimates descending). See the table below.

As you can see, in the first place in terms of group motivation, there was interest in the content of the work performed, and the remuneration of labor, contrary to all expectations, was last place. Here is such a split!

I think that the results obtained are not at all exception. And this is understandable. First of all, interesting work, the prospects for the enterprise, the possibility of self-realization, and the payment and working conditions are secondary, are important. The consideant myth that money is solved by everything is really a myth. For a real "binding" of the employee, money is far from the first place. Therefore, people from place to place are moving. Well, what, tell me, interest stand behind the counter. What is the self-realization? Go there (for the counter) from hopelessness, because there is actually no more nowhere, because you need to live on something and feed the family. But also quickly and go. Looking for something more interesting. Looking for the possibilities of self-realization. This is necessary to take into account the employer. Make work interesting. Add her beauty. Choose people who are most suitable for motivation. Well, where it is impossible to take into account, you have to come to humble with a huge fluidity. For these enterprises and categories of workers, such a fluidity is the norm.

As for the antimitatives, the leading antimodes - the anti-stishers of listeners at the enterprise of the PKB are:

1) "Heavy Style" of higher managers;

2) big processing, when a working day reaches 10 - 12 hours or more;

3) a high level of responsibility with great difficulty of work.

These antimitatives themselves suggest where to direct efforts to neutralize them.

2. At the PSB enterprise, an assessment of the stimulation system was made, during which two main problems were revealed. Consider each separately.

A. The first painful problem is ineffective personnel stimulation.

Medium-medium estimates of the methods of the incentive system in the enterprise look as follows (on a 5-point evaluation scale):

Methods of material incentive - 3.2;

Social package - 3.5;

Methods of moral stimulation - 1.3.

Thus, the total medium-average estimate of the entire stimulation system is 8.0 with the highest possible estimation of 15 points. If we translate into interest, then the stimulation system satisfies employees by 53%, that is, approximately half. Do you think this is enough for efficient work? Obviously, no. Therefore, the participants were invited to give proposals to improve the incentive system that would personally allow them to radically level the antique and anti-estum. The proposals of the participants were distributed as follows (arranged by the frequency of repetition).

By improving material incentive methods:

1) introduction of surcharge for work in the enterprise (15 people);

2) the use of a system of bonus on the year of work for the year (12 people);

3) change in the existing bonuse system (8 people);

4) Transition to the wage formula: Basic salary (guaranteed) plus a variable bonus part for individual and / or group (by division) results of work, with a larger first part (6 people);

5) the possibility of acquiring stock shares (4 people).

By improving the social package:

1) providing an interest-free or low-rise loan (14 people);

2) surcharge for a healthy lifestyle (12 people);

3) payment of sanatorium-resort treatment (12 people);

4) payment of the use of a mobile phone (4 people);

5) compensation for using a personal car for official purposes (4 people).

A special note on the social package - at the enterprise this package includes 26 methods, but to a particular employee reaches a minor part (2 - 3 methods), that is, mostly this package is intended for top managers, and for linear personnel, it is declarative. Therefore, it is necessary to make methods of this package more accessible to all, which can increase their effectiveness.

By improving the methods of moral incentive:

1) Announcement of gratitude in various public forms - in the order, at the meeting, in the factory press, etc. (16 people);

2) awarding a valuable gift (7 people);

3) Presentation of the certificate (4 people);

4) "Menu Method" or a selection of an employee of the method of encouragement from the proposed list (3 people);

5) Personal Promotions (2 people).

The general organizational and technical proposal is to limit personalization of the methods of social package and moral incentive. For this, it is proposed maintaining a personal "stimulation dossier" for each employee, in which all methods of social package and moral incentives applied to it will be recorded, as well as plan (planned) new methods. Maintaining such dossiers will allow you to have and use consolidated statistics on the social package and moral stimulation in the context of divisions and enterprise as a whole.

B. The second pain problem is a high staff fluidity.

This problem has a complex nature and, according to the participants, is primarily due to two groups of factors - personnel and organizational.

Among the personnel factors, participants were allocated:

1) "The frozen" stimulation system that does not meet the current realities;

2) depreciation of frames for a variety of reasons;

4) the need to increase the level of training of main production personnel;

5) Imperfection of training technology.

Among organizational factors, participants are allocated:

1) excessively centralized adoption of operational solutions in relation to the management of production units;

2) indisputable interaction procedures between different divisions in the process of their tasks;

3) the overload of tasks and responsibilities of the heads of divisions, as well as the practice of their "infinite" adjustment;

4) incomplete compatibility of planned indicators with product quality requirements;

5) Excessive limitation of materials used in the manufacturing process.

According to the participants of the seminar, the most effective measures to reduce the flow of personnel in the enterprise are the following.

First, the development and practical implementation of personnel policies, which would include: goals and objectives of personnel development; Improving the stimulation system; social programs; Improving working conditions and advanced training.

Secondly, the rationalization of the system and intra-water management processes to increase its efficiency, personal responsibility, as well as improved interaction between units.

Thirdly, the development and use of a special program to increase the interest of young professionals in long-term labor activities at the enterprise and counteracting the "lubrication" of personnel.

Fourth, the development and adoption of the "Ethical Code of the Enterprise". Introduction to the psychologist.

Fifth, improving working conditions and life by creating more comfortable zones in the workplaces, as well as the use of modern personal protective equipment.

Sixth, training of managers of all levels and experts on the problems of motivation and stimulating staff, including the diagnostics of the current state and the definition of measures to improve the methods of personnel stimulation.

In fact, this is the "skeleton" of the finished program for the development of motivation and improving the stimulation system for the PSB. As we can see, realizing and evaluating the motivation of the personnel, it is possible to properly approach the construction of an effective system of stimulating.

Hello, friends! To introduce into your life effective ways of personal motivation, think about how you do it now. Since it is not always possible to see yourself from the side, imagine that you need to motivate another person. How will you do to do it so that he wanted to perform the required?

Such a reception will allow you to put out your idea of \u200b\u200bmotivation, and then adjust it or replace it with the right one.

There are criteria, with which you can form a qualitative encouraging to action, whatever the kind of motivation you needed to work, to work, to sport.

Truthfulness

To motivate, the truthfulness will first come in handy for success, so cultivate this quality at any convenient case.

The absence of truthfulness deprives a person of a sober understanding of things, which affects motivation. Surely you met the advice of psychologists: in his soul it is important to distinguish the desired from what I just want to want. I am mistaken about what drives you, you either ride where you do not need, or you can not motivate yourself.

Universality of the goal

Fear in vain efforts inhibits movement forward. Therefore, to melt yourself to achieve the goal, answer: what value for your development is the process of achieving it?

Process priority

Too much desire to get or achieve often only prevents it. In this case, a person is not able to "release" his desire and fully focus on what is happening.

Therefore, learn to concentrate on the process - let it always be in the first place, and the results on the second. It will strengthen the motivation, and also keeps you from a dangerous habit of running out of "here and now."

Desire to be, not to look happy

Always, wanting to mock yourself, you make a choice, what to strive for: look like your goal, respectively or to be so really. It does not matter, it is noticeable for others or not.

Remember that as a result of false motivation you will get something similar to a plastic cake: it looks beautiful, but it is impossible to eat.

Effective methods of self-motive

Let's see what specific techniques will give you an understanding how to motivate yourself.

Individual approach

We are all unique. And each of us has its own perception of the world as a whole and specific circumstances in particular. Focus on your capabilities and limits. First of all, take into account your own vision of the situation.

Pareto rule

20% of effort give 80% of the result, and the remaining 80% of the effort is only 20% of the result. Correctly selecting the minimum of the most important actions, you can quickly get a significant part of the planned full result.

How can this rule use you to motivate yourself?

If your goal is self-improvement, send 80% of its resources to work on 20% of the problematic places of your character. Everything else dedicate the remaining 20% \u200b\u200bof your attention and time.

If you need a motivation to achieve, get ready to get 80% of the result thanks to 20% of your strongest sides.

Inspiration

The effective method of self-motive for every day is a creative approach.

To use it, eliminate violence over yourself. Watch your reactions: What causes you enthusiasm and natural desire to do something?

I do not mean the main goal of your life. It may even be about washing dishes - the question is how you do it. For example:

  • you must be sufficiently rested;
  • you need to work in your pace;
  • it is necessary to fully focus on some one thing, abandoning multitasking, etc.

Of course, at some moments you will have to act and without inspirational conditions. But the rest of the time it is quite possible to take care of yourself and no longer worry about how to find motivation.

Conscious application effort

Where to take the motivation when you do not want to do anything? Take care in advance. Most often, such difficulties arise naturally: at a certain time, in a specific situation or with respect to a particular case.

Realize where you spend your effort. There is something that happens to you as if by itself: it is enough to stand on the desired rut. With the other things, everything is not so simple, but you also need to do them.

Correct the effort correctly. It is not necessary to jump above the head - it will reduce the entire motivation for no. Find the application point and the "size" of the current effort, the rest let it remain as it is.

Creation of rhythm

Monotonous repeating actions create an energy structure that literally pushes you forward. She is like a stream: moving in it, you seem to float within the flow that carries and powerfully motivates you.

Just follow the relevance of what you are doing on the habit or the ignition of the consolidated rhythm. Do not let him impose his will.

Unadote

Stay open to the development of events and your influence on it. Every moment is a new reference point.

Getting rid of expectationsYou will stop striving to subordinate what is happening by your will. So, save energy and strengthen your motivation: If you are a priori ready for different options, the fear of frustration does not take on you.

Underwater stones preferring themselves

Consider the main demotivators and how you can cope with them.

Laziness

With not on time attending the desire, all people are faced. However, it is not necessary to confuse this condition with elementary fatigue. But if you have rested, sleeping or changing activities, and motivations still did not add, try the next cure for laziness.

Find the meaning in what is happening for yourself. For example:

  • if you need to do something routine, you can practice your concentration and awareness;
  • if the action is somehow connected with the benefit of others, direct attention to the gate process - satisfaction from the fact that you are able to make something to this world will be a great help in the fight against laziness;
  • if the element of creativity is present in the case, just give him full. Then the next time you will not want to be lazy and watch the series - Drive is not the same.

Self-copy

The habit of self-reflection and psychoanalysis can become an obstacle to selfish, because it is possible to dig for a long time, differently digging and trying to rebuild. So long that the whole life is not enough.

Therefore, if you find reasonable, learn the contents of your mind. But do not let this process get your life and immobilize you.

Greed

This quality interferes when it becomes a sorry for his efforts, time committed by mistakes. "It is better not to do anything than tolerate such a waste," Dudda talks.

Refuse such logic is not to become reckless. This means to accept: you can not cook the scrambled eggs without breaking eggs. And act, after the choice is made, decisively and boldly despite anything.

Depression

Motivation problems can talk about depression. In some cases, it is not necessary to do without the help of a specialist.

You can help yourself and yourself. Observe the day mode. Going to bed until 23:00, and better until 22:00 (do not watch TV before bedtime!), And get up at 6, and it's better a little earlier and immediately go under the cool shower (with your head, you can pass through the hat). 60 - 70% of depression will be held by themselves!

And use food products that strengthen the cheerfulness and optimism is a banana, mango, dates, figs, etc. (eat them from 6 to 8 am or at least in the first half of the day), grenades (you can eat from 10 to 19 hours).

The principle "Anyway" - the key to motivation for life

Where to take the motivation each decides for yourself. Often it depends on the activities of the activities to which they need to induce themselves.

In conclusion, I offer you a mini-test that will help identify fundamental motivation in life. For me, he became a real discovery!

Determine your relationship with the phrase "anyway." They are two species:

  1. Anyway, nothing will work. Why try to try? Anyway no longer happened, as it should, does it make sense to continue? Does not matter...
  2. Injustice does not exist. If it happened, it means that it is necessary. I still will do everything in the best way and it will come to the end.

Every day we make a decision, how to motivate yourself. Successes to you in this important case!

Friends, what secreotivation secrets do you use? Share in the comments!

Sport classes, as you know, strengthen health, improve well-being and prolong life. It makes it possible that correctly selected physical exertion helps not only gain a great form, but also to cope with depression, Handrea. Unfortunately, due to different reasons, not everyone can go to the gym. In this case, training can be organized at home. Again it does not work? So, the whole thing is in the absence of motivation.

Most people at least once tried to start a new life from Monday or next month. For example, to do in the morning charging, arrange a jog, to eat right, throw, finally, smoking, etc. But there are no discrepancies when, with the beginning of a new week, all the aspirations are postponed for later or simply forgotten. According to psychologists, the reason lies not only in the laziness or the absence of willpower, but also in the wrong approach to the tasks.

Good motivation is a guarantee of further success. It is no secret that any victory begins with a victory over himself, his laziness, fear. In order to start moving forward, it is necessary to determine priorities, analyze their capabilities and change the attitude to the problem. It is primarily important to understand what you want to get from a healthy lifestyle and sports in particular: good mood and self-confidence, harmony and health, the desire to like others, etc. After that, you need to choose the most appropriate form of fitness that will help achieve Set goal. Someone prefers the pool, someone souls power or dynamic workouts, there are those who like dancing, stretching, yoga, running, ordinary walking. The main thing is that the classes bring not only benefit, but also pleasure, pleasure. It is also important to tune in to the gradual achievement of the goal, it will eventually give a steady result and will be in habit, rather than methods that lead to rapid changes.

An incentive for regular physical exertion can serve, for example, workout with like-minded people and friends, a public promise to start conducting a healthy lifestyle. So in the future it will be more difficult to abandon the goal and throw the started. For some people, motivation serves real stories of those who changed themselves and their lives for the better, photographs of slender and cheerful girls, guys from fashionable magazines, which were observed in the prominent place of aphorisms and statuses that attach confidence on themselves.

A successful motivation will be the fact that fitness contributes to the rejuvenation of the body and prevents premature aging. It helps strengthen the immunity, normalize pressure, to establish the work of the digestive organs, maintain the mobility of the joints, eliminates the headache, insomnia, etc.

Effective ways on the way to a healthy lifestyle

Wanting something to achieve, it is important to put specific tasks. For example, setting the goal to get rid of excess weight, decide how much kilograms you want to lose weight. Once a week we are summed up and even if, in your opinion, they are insignificant, fix them in a special diary and compare your progress with the previous ones. Positive results that occur the changes in appearance are also good motivation, since progress increases the effectiveness of classes a few percent.

Those who seek to pump up or tighten their body to such a method, for this weekly measure and write down the volumes of the hands, legs, waist, hips.

Since the human body has a property to get used to physical exertion, then over time, the results become no longer tangible. There is a so-called plateau effect or stagnation. In this regard, it is necessary to gradually complicate the exercises or alternate various types of training: Stretching, cardio, power.

Fitness instructors do not advise several tasks at once, otherwise it turns out in pursuit of two hares. The lack of achievements can be discouraged to further exercise. Only having achieved weight loss to the required mark, you can take on the formation of the figure.

Many in their failures are blamed a dense work schedule, a large amount of household worries and the absence in connection with this free time. However, according to famous artists, whose life is connected with constant touring and filming, allocate 40-60 minutes in good goals can always be. For this, it is not necessary to visit the fitness club at all, although group training and money spent on the subscription is sufficient motivation, but most of the exercises can be performed at home. Morning jog or respiratory gymnastics can be charged with energy and vigor for the whole day, sports in the evening allows you to distract from the working everyday life and problems. Alternatively will serve classes on simulators.

Deciding with the nature of home fitness, be sure to make a schedule for which you plan to do and strike out each workout. Of course, to abide by discipline in this case will be much more complicated, the willpower will need and the desire to change your life for the better. But after a few weeks, a healthy lifestyle will firmly enter the habit.

Failures stimulate and temper the character

The absence of an expected result is not a reason to lower your hands. For some people, failures serve as an additional incentive in working on themselves. According to psychologists, you need to morally be ready for such a turn. It is known that the correct response to errors or misses makes us stronger and stubborn in achieving the goals. In case of unsuccessful experience, it is worth reconsider training and nutrition plan. Perhaps the other physical exertion will be required. Also, a significant role is played by the regularity of classes. A healthy lifestyle does not imply a daily many hours of fitness. It is enough to engage in one hour three or four times a week to get tangible fruits of your work and confirm the simple truth that the new life begins at all from Monday, but from our consciousness and motivation.

Proper motivation on the way to success - All about fitness secrets to the site

What is motivation

In a scientific understanding, motivation is explained as a motivation to action. This is the dynamic process of a psycho-physiological structure, which controls human behavior, as well as determining its focus, activity, organization and stability; The ability of a person to meet the needs of its purposeful activities.
Also, motivation can be described as a psychophysiological process that encourages a person to certain activities with the help of external and inside-personal factors.

Motivation as a success tool

For success is a very strong "motor tool", which very much helps bring such a desired result. Simple words, motivation is a kind of strong psychological impact that activates a person and makes it act or move without looking at anything. But I can say on my own experience, and recently came across important information that proves that motivation can be both positive and negative. How the motivation may be harmful, you ask? And the thing is that rather weak motivation, of course not enough to achieve goals, but also the too strong motivation may be even worse than weak. Since a very much motivated person begins to make many fussy mistakes, absurd and remembering actions. And further, very strong motivation, generates unnecessary excitement . In addition, it can do everything in the same strong depression because. So you need to find the golden middle. It will be more correct motivate yourself with small doses, but constantly and the main thing is always in your mind to keep your goal, a dream, desire.

In a sufficient and quite a reasonable, a motivated person will always be able to minimize the mountains on his way and overcome any obstacles. Do you know what the main plus of this energy? And in the fact that the correctly motivated person is not so much exposed to all the same and does not focus on failures, because he knows what he wants to achieve and does not pay attention to obstacles and temporary defeats. Any failure will not be able to confuse him, because he sees his goal and confident in his abilities. I am sure that it will not get to the carrot, depending on external factors. He can play a lot of battles today, and tomorrow win the war.
Well, let's move directly to the ways of proper motivation.

Ignore what does not matter for you

1. To be able to ignore something - an amazing thing. It will bring much more benefit than you could imagine. There must be a special item "ignoring", which must be trained at the university. The distribution of attention on many items immediately, as most people do, only weakens you. Ignoring the same thing that it does not matter, free energy and helps you remain concentrated, purposeful and productively work.

Try to understand what you get bored

2. Avoid, if possible, all this. Things and actions have a binding property. But, as well as any other of your condition, it can be understood and determine the ways to get rid of it. As soon as you understand it, you can easily do it. It takes time, but really worth it.

Laugh more often

3. If you have a free time, see comedy, read comics. Forget about your terrible seriousness. Laughter is a mechanism that will help prevent and relieve stress. In fact, he quickly displays it from you and this is the most effective means.

Drove the magazine of your breakthroughs

4. Do you remember those moments when you reached something worthwhile in your life? We tend to forget about a simple habit of writing our feelings every time we happen a big breakthrough. Start and store the magazine of your success, victories, successful events. And draw inspiration from it.

We train

5. This is the easiest way to motivate yourself. Just leave the office, start making any exercises or just make a small jog around your home. This immediately activates your body, will put it in order and recaptures you with energy. Each time, performing some exercises, you get endorphins. And endorphins are useful, well and cool. \u003d)

Create a suitable environment for you.

6. You will not be able to constantly encourage yourself to action if you work in a setting that does not suit you. Change it, add or enhance. And no matter, you work in the office or at home. Whatever the space around you, make it "your" in any way, it will reduce the adaptation time and you can pay more time to the necessary affairs. And in general, even if everything suits you to periodically change the situation useful - it brings to your life with the shades of innovation and freshness.

Read Success Stories

7. Read the success stories of other people. Find in them motivation and experience. Inspire. Admire with them. Reading such stories will do success more accessible And will feed your efforts to its achievement. And, of course, you can learn to be successful, feel successful and act as the winners come.

Switch between tasks

8. People annoying for a long time to work only on one project. Fatigue from monotonous labor greatly lowers motivation (if only your work is not your dream, in this case, motivation and inspiration are inexhaustible). Try to make some small projects when you feel that you are on the verge. We will not say that switching between tasks will create fresh prospects for you, but will help solve problems faster.

Evaluate Progress

9. If you are constantly moving towards your goal, as a rule, you will achieve some progress. But you may have the impression as if you were not moving away, and this is because you miss all these little daily milestones. Look back with satisfaction from what you created, it will definitely increase your energy.

Speak about your projects

10. With friends or family. Give people to know what you do something good. It often gives us to understand that we do something really good and enjoy it. It also creates a certain level of responsibility, which is likely to push you forward.

Avoid energy vampires

11. - All of them suck you from you and motivation. Do not fall into the power of such a game, at any cost, avoid these leaks of energy. Even if it means that you will be more common. It is better to work alone than trying to confront the surrounding vampires.

Create clear goals

12. More precisely, to clearly state and write down your goals on paper, because they are already clearly defined in your mind. But pull them out of consciousness, and place where you can always find them. Your consciousness works better when he knows what to do, and does not spend time on the awareness of this.

Exercise in satisfaction

13. When you have finished some kind of work or task, reward yourself. Make yourself a gift. No need it to be especially great. It is only needed to develop a habit. Strive for him while you work, expect it. After some time, you will become dependent and stop until you get your cherished "gingerbread".

Take defeats

14. As part of this game. Failure, as well as success, is just the result of your actions and nothing more. In fact, any failure is the experience and defeats the one who made mistakes in time and commemorate of their knowledge. One of the largest motivation enemies is fear of failure. Fears that your results will come to no. Agree with the defeat. It is not good, but it does not mean that you have to stop doing what you do. Work on yourself and hope for the best.

Use reminders

15. Use them as records of their aspirations, goals, current status. Reminders are a very powerful tool that is strongly underestimated. People find uncomfortable to write messages themselves and read them out loud. News: You do it constantly, unconsciously. So why not do it consciously? Start the morning the phrase addressed to you yourself!?

Play games

16. Personal people. Imitate animals. Imagine that you are any fabulous character. Games will be given to your thoughts and, at the same time, will collect your strength from secret sources. Also they develop enthusiasm and ease in the actions. Good motivation is always mixed with joy. You can start with a simple game, for example: how to get from point A to point B for 5 random steps.

Say no

17. Speak "No" unnecessary entertainment, distractions, depression. Training the words "no" frees you. Too frequent the emergence of a large amount of obligations, makes your life a continuous series of constant vigorous actions. Limit your promises, and take it just for what you really want to finish. After that, go to the mirror, smile and start politely to train your "no".

Look for positive people

18. Sadness, whining and complaints are not very well combined with motivation. In fact, everything is completely yes, on the contrary. But positive, optimistic, energetic people will always shift the changes of your mood in the right direction. Look for them, find and become their friend. Sometimes everything you need to motivate yourself is to be surrounded by happy people or successful.

Difficulty is part of the game

19. Learn to work under pressure. There are things that are harder than others. Take this fact and focus on what you need to do, and not on your sense of dissatisfaction. Difficulties often make something to do. Without difficult, do not stretch and fish from the pond. Whenever you feel that something will be difficult to do, you are usually more motivated for this. Remuneration will be higher.

Arrange the competition with ourselves

20. Competitions with themselves or short-term goals, usually 15-90 days. It seems to start the exercises or create a habit from scratch for 15 days. Or, for example, arrange a sprint for performing any permanent work - that is, try to make a certain action faster than yesterday. So the kind of competition strengthens your inner spirit just as the exercises strengthen the muscles. The more you do, the stronger you feel motivated to do even more.

Choose a positive motivation

21. When you motivate yourself, do our best to save the motivation on the positive side, which is initially aimed at helping you. Unlike negative motivation, which will mostly raise in you concerns. Negative motivation works in the same way, it only acts significantly less than positive.

Get rid of your "fears"

22. As in any person, you have "fears", and some of them are quite adversely affecting you. They will not allow you to do what you have conceived. The worst thing is that most of the time they work outside your consciousness and fight with them quite difficult. Just accept it, know about it and get rid of them. You will feel better. But this is a question, rather, willpower.

Follow your personal mission

23. You need to have your own personal mission. If you do not have it, quickly find some. Strengthening your personal mission to certain periods of time is definitely one of the greatest motivators. It looks like a look at the card and the opportunity at any time to see where you are, how much you have to go and what way to choose.

Spend time on the street

24. If you can do something creative, like gardening or gardening, it is even better. But nothing terrible will not happen even if you do not know how it. After spending time on the street you clean the air indoors. And also fresh air helps you restore the strength and remove the tension. When you return, everything will be brighter and brilliant. Something fresh is always a pleasant motivator.

Keep your inner world clean

25. Pure inner world helps the easier way of thoughts. And the ease of thoughts allows you to be unfounded by any kind of concerns. Often? This is the only thing that is necessary in order to start something to create.

Do not strive for perfection

26. Soon it will delete you. Perfection does not exist and on this you only experience defeat. The desire to be better - this is a real game. Perfection is a dead end, nothing will happen even if you approach it. Recognition that you may be better, instead of considering yourself perfect, leaves certain opportunities for growth. And this means you have a reason to make even more and even better. And we usually call the motivation, right?

Do something one at a certain point in time

27. Multitasking - myth. You just waste your energy and lose a goal from your kind. Even computer processors do not perform multitasking, it is just what we see. Instead, they have one frequency and several parallel tires of information management, creating a type of multitasking activity. Multitasking creates internal conflicts, both in the human body and in the computer. You will ultimately spend more time to solve these conflicts than at the work itself.

Continue to read what inspires you

28. Continue to draw up a list of what inspires you. Quotes, posts in blogs, books - anything. Sometimes a small phrase or motivating picture is enough for you at the right moment to be decided by an act of inconspicuous to you, which will change your future life.

Turn on good music

29. Just let it play, it raws around you, do not turn it on very loudly. Its volume should be enough to create a pleasant atmosphere. Music manages parts of consciousness that you cannot control logically, it is so strong that it can fully lift your mood per second. The only thing is best than silence - good music. But the music should be positive or background.

Do not get into productivity trap

30. No matter how much you do is important, just as much as it is significant. Doing something only for a tick in a notebook will not give you motivation. On the other hand, when you do something significant, your organizational abilities will help you.

31. Your lens on the camera can be blurred, but you may not know about it. Therefore, you will have the same picture again and again that stops you and does not promote further. Sometimes all you have to do is remove pink glasses. This requires courage, but it is worth it.

Communicate in the house

32. I know you and for this you need motivation, but believe me, it is a great way to get rid of the inner garbage. Cleaning your home - not just cleaning, this is a need. Your way of action can be covered with garbage just like your gender. And his cleaning will again give the move to your thoughts.

And finally stop reading this and get to work!

33. Your business from reading is not performed by yourself. Inspiration is a good motivator, but do not abuse them. Now that you are full of energy, it's time to return to work. Of course, you can put a bookmark on this entry for the following motivation sessions, but now just get to work.

Impossible possible!
