Are you feeling your motivation wane, even though it seems as though we just started the year? It’s natural to lose the spark of motivation after a few months (just compare gym attendance in January to attendance in March). Here are seven ways to reignite the fire and get inspired to thrive this year. Save this post and reread it throughout the year when you need a bit of motivation.
Keep a journal. Whether you use it write down your brilliant ideas, to recap your day, to note the things you’re grateful for or a combination of the three, a journal is a powerful tool to have in your success arsenal. Journals help you to maintain perspective at challenging times or when you’re not feeling motivated.
Hear people’s stories. Many of us are inspired by the stories of others, especially if they had to overcome extreme hardships and challenges to get where they are today. Although you can read a book or watch a movie that chronicles a famous person’s story, chat with the people you know and hear their stories. We’ve all had to overcome a challenge or two at one time or another; sometimes the stories of ordinary people can help to inspire us to greatness.
Write down your own story. In a similar vein, revisit your life to find inspiration. What challenges have you overcome? What are you most proud of? Whatever it is, write it down. When you remember what you’ve been through and overcome, you may become inspired.
Network. Meeting and reconnecting with other real estate professionals can renew your motivation to succeed. Be sure to maintain these budding relationships by sending a personal note after the event and calling periodically to touch base.
Attend a seminar. Seminars are a great way to network with other motivated professionals and learn new strategies for navigating the ever-changing real estate market. Real estate events such as Brian Buffini’s Success Tour offer cutting-edge information, proven strategies and a healthy dose of inspiration to help attendees thrive in real estate and beyond.

Reconnect with your goals. Reviewing your goals periodically can help you reconnect with what you’d like to achieve and the life you want to lead. Although daily tracking can keep you motivated, reading your goals can inspire you to stay on track.
Unplug. Technology is amazing; however, it’s essential to take some time a few times a week to turn off the phone, the tablet and any other device and read, think, reconnect with family and friends face-to-face or just be. Disconnecting for a bit can recharge your spirit and refresh your mind.
