Three books to motivate staying-on-track behavior

 

Want to know one of my own personal biggest “musts” to stay motivated?  Over the years it has never failed me.  I usually have 4-5 different books on the go at any one time.

 

It’s making time to READ every single day – something that helps me stay on track, learn something new, or give me a fresh perspective.  All that reading on very diverse subjects is also probably what has contributed to me being such an obnoxious person to watch "Jeopardy!" with, LOL!!

 

Confession: sometimes “reading” is actually LISTENING to audiobooks or reading articles online. :) 

 

Even if it’s just for 5-10 minutes a day, this habit helps keep me moving forward.

 

Don’t already read (or listen to) books/podcasts on a regular basis? … it’s definitely worth a try to see if it helps with staying inspired and on track with goals.

 

Here are 3 of my top motivation/self-dev books for starters:

  

  1. "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey.  This is a timeless classic because it focuses on the basic steps to take to create success in pretty much every area of life.  This one strips it all back to creating strong values and beliefs that will give a clear path and strong foundation toward all types of goals.

 

  1. "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.  This one has been on the bestseller list since it came out because it’s packed with practical (and smart!) tips to finally get healthy habits to stick.  He uses stories and anecdotes to explain exactly how and why a person can build a daily routine that works specifically for THEM and their lifestyle.

 

  1. "You are a Badass" by Jen Sincero.  This one is a little gem of a book that basically affirms that people already have everything it takes to succeed – they just have to learn how to stop getting in their own way.  She helps highlight her premise with funny stories and inspiration to motivate.

 

The bottom line in all of those books is that it’s the little things a person does every day that add up to BIG success.

 

Pay attention to the little things, and the big things take care of themselves :-)

 

 

 Wishing you all the best!
