When you are down and feelin lonely-try this sure fire fix from Denver

1. Post your top goals in plain sight. A clearly posted list will serve as a constant reminder of what you want and can achieve, and should easily wake you up out of any slump.

2. Start and end each day with something positive. Whether it's some upbeat music, an inspiring scene from a movie, a passage from a book or giving yourself a pep talk, routinely motivating yourself will boost your performance.

2. Start and end each day with something positive. When you score a win, use the resulting motivation and energy to go out and score another win — and another. When you succeed and stay energized, you are more likely to keep succeeding and staying energized.

4. Commit to a goal and let it be known. Nothing motivates a person more than to state a goal to peers. Be specific and include a deadline. You can move mountains when your honor and reputation are at stake.

5. Get inspired. Is there a sports hero or entertainer who fires you up? A historical figure or famous quote? A photograph of a place or family member? Whatever it is, keep your inspiration handy and refer to it often.

6. Stifle any negativity. Eliminate your own negative thoughts or negative influences in your life. Whether it's a TV show, office grousing or a bad self-image — nip it in the bud. Remember that inspiring quote or think about your goals or listen to that upbeat tune. The negativity will quickly fade.

7. Make your own luck. Negative people tend to credit other peoples' success to good luck and their poor performance to bad luck. What they forget is that you achieve goals by continually working hard. Luck doesn't accomplish anything.

8. Admit a defeat and move on. Focusing on setbacks will get you nowhere. Instead, remember that a setback is only a temporary loss, learn any lesson possible, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going.

9. Stay healthy. Eating health, getting solid sleep and engaging in regular exercise are key in keeping yourself upbeat and focused. If you slip on taking good care of yourself, you will lose your motivation.

10. Remember - Your Success is up to you!
