A SELF-MOTIVATION WORKBOOK
Self-Motivation Workbook
Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger
for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in
order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably
come your way.
– Les Brown
The questions in this workbook can help you find the motivation to
take action to attain the life you desire. Spend some time in self-
reflection to answer the questions below truthfully and revisit these
questions whenever you feel your motivation waning.
What Makes People Self-Motivated?

Passion and discipline are the primary stimuli for self-motivation.
What interests am I passionate about?
Is there a discipline I follow regularly, such as an

exercise routine or a special diet? Jot these down.
Lack of Energy or Self-Motivation?

If you feel you lack self-motivation, perhaps it could be a lack of
energy instead. Check whether you may be energy-deprived due to
stress, depression, low self-esteem, or physical fatigue. Energy-
enhancing practices may help you, such as:
✴ Meditation
✴ Eating more nutritious foods
✴ Adding vitamins to your diet
✴ Incorporating more exercise into your daily routine
✴ Getting more sleep
What changes can I make in my daily routine to

increase my energy level?
Making Decisions
We create our destiny the moment we make a decision, no matter how
trivial. A true decision leads to achievement because it involves
commitment to action. Flexibility is important. If the outcome of your
decision isn’t what you want, learn from it and make another decision.
Make an important decision that will encourage

commitment and action.
What action can I take today to start implementing

this decision?
Don’t Make Excuses

Everyone has dreams, but few make the effort to turn them into
reality. One obstacle that can hold you back is the habit of making
excuses.
Write down the limiting excuses I make that

prevent me from achieving my goals.
Be Clear About Your Decisions

A true decision has clarity. It’s specific and it makes you feel
empowered and relieved.
How do you know you’ve made a “true decision?” If you’ve made a

true decision, you’ll find yourself acting on it.
Write down any decisions that are still only dreams

– something I’ll do “some day.”
How can I empower these decisions?
The Three Decisions That Will

Shape Your Life
Make these decisions right now and write them down.
What is the primary focus of my life?
Decide how the situations you find yourself in today affect your
present and future.
Situation 1:
Effect on the present moment:
Possible effect on my future:
Situation 2:
Effect on the present moment:
Possible effect on my future:
And now for the most important decision:
Looking at my current situation, what should I do

now? The quicker and more decisive the decision,
the greater the impact on my life.
10
The NAC Concept of Pain and

Pleasure
You can train your subconscious mind to condition yourself for
success with Neuro Associative Conditioning techniques. You do this
by associating pain with the things you want to avoid and pleasure
with the things you desire.
Your Beliefs Have the Power to Create and Destroy
Check your beliefs. Are they getting in the way of achieving your goals
or are they propelling you forward? You can use the NAC technique to
replace negative beliefs with positive ones.
What negative beliefs do I hold?
11
How are my negative beliefs affecting me? As I write

down my answer, I allow myself to feel the pain.
What positive beliefs can replace the negative

ones? How will it affect my life? Feel the pleasure
intensely and visualize the outcome vividly.
Another way to replace negative beliefs with positive ones is to

question your negative beliefs. Do some research on the subject and
study the lives of those who hold the opposite view.
12
Transforming Yourself
Transformation is not a long process. It happens in an instant,
provided that you’ve been working towards it. Do you have a powerful
intention to change?
What do I really want to change now?
Now use the pain and pleasure principles by answering the questions
below (feel and visualize the pain and pleasure):
1. What will this cost me if I don’t change?
13
2. What has it already cost me physically,

spiritually, mentally, career-wise, and in my
relationships?
3. How has it affected my family and friends?
14
4. If I transform myself, how will it make me feel?
5. What will this change help me accomplish?
15
6. How will this change make my family and

friends feel?
Do your research. Get all the information you can on the subject that
interests you. This will generate motivation.
Reward yourself as you progress. This will keep motivation levels up. It
doesn’t matter how small the milestone is. Reward yourself as soon as
you achieve it.
What are some rewards that I can give myself

when I make progress?
16
Join a community. Nothing can be more motivating than working

towards your goals with others who share them. Find communities
online or locally that share a passion of yours.
List my favorite support communities here:
Befriend motivated people. Choose friends who are highly motivated so

they can support and inspire you.
Who do I know that are the most motivated?
17
Seek feedback. Blogs are a popular method for generating feedback.

Blog about your successes and the insights you glean on the way to
your goal.
Relive past successes. Follow the example of high achievers. Focus on

your successes every morning, and your brain will create new neural
pathways that will help you replicate these successes.
What are some of my past successes?
Keep your target in sight. Make an effort to remember your target at all
times. If you focus on the pleasurable outcome, you’ll create more
positive outcomes.
Be tenacious. Use each day wisely – take action, no matter how small,
to make your dreams come true.
18
What can I do today to move closer toward my goals?
Read inspirational material. Reading about people who achieve their

goals against all odds will motivate you.
Visualize the outcomes repeatedly. Visualization is a powerful

technique. Repeatedly imagining the outcome of your goals will help
manifest them as reality.
Describe my vision:
19
Write down your goals. Putting your goals down on paper will help to
imprint them on your brain.
What are my most important goals?
Give yourself a spiritual goal or noble cause. A spiritual goal such as

enlightenment, or working for a worthy cause can be a powerful
motivator.
What is my noble cause?
20
Be health conscious. If you look after your health by exercising

regularly and eating the right foods, you’ll have more energy and
higher levels of motivation.
Know your “peak hours.” Find out your most productive time of the day
and do your most demanding tasks during this time period.
What are my peak hours? What tasks should I

accomplish in these hours?
Don’t look for perfection. The key to being highly self-motivated is to

act without worrying about how good your output is. Get on with it.
The polishing can be done later.
Do the harder task first. Once you’ve put the more difficult tasks behind
you, you can relax and do the easier ones.
21
Practice spiritual awareness. Be completely in the moment when you

act. Don’t think about the past or the future. After all, the present
creates the future!
Use self-affirmations. Telling yourself repeatedly that you’re getting

better every day in every way is bound to cause your brain to believe it.
What are some self-affirmations that make me feel

good about myself?
Use inspirational quotations. These are built around the lives of famous
and highly motivated people who have succeeded against the odds.
22
What are my favorite quotes that resonate with me?
You have the most powerful keys to self motivation in your hands. Use
them to realize your wildest dreams!
