Day of motivation and inspiration – the history of the holiday
Motivation and Inspiration Day has been celebrated annually on January 2 since 2002. Despite its mission, the history of the holiday has a sad basis.
Day of motivation and inspiration appeared in the USA. After the terrible tragedy of September 2001, the American McCrudden decided to remind all citizens of the country that there is a lot of beauty in the world, life did not end on September 11, and in the life of each of us there is someone for whom we can do great things. The idea was supported by many Americans, and the first Day of Motivation and Inspiration was held in the USA on December 18, 2001. After it, they began to celebrate it all over the world, and January 2 was declared the International Day of Inspiration and Motivation.
How to make a plan for the year and make it work – 7 steps
Today is a good day to make a plan for the year. It is better to compile it in stages.
1. Set goals
Sit down, think and decide what you want. From all this, select the most important thing in each sphere of life.
2. Write down your goals
Yes – write it down, exactly as you make a checklist before going to the store. A goal written down on paper takes effect.
3. Define the terms
Not everyone likes this step – we like to indulge ourselves. But being able to set a deadline is important. It motivates and drives us a little, which means that we are closer to success.
4. Record the actions
Write a list of everything you need to achieve your goal. As soon as you formulate, you have a picture.
5. Prioritize
Prioritize everything you have planned: what needs to be done first, what needs to be done second, and so on.
6. Start doing something
The most difficult. Now you need to put down the pen and paper and start doing something. Let it be small steps at first – there is a high probability that soon you will swing and get into the taste.
7. Go to the goal every day
Do something for your goal every day. Let it be a trifle again – the point is that every day you are getting closer to your dream.
By the way, about dreams – you can additionally make a so-called wish map for them.
What is a wish card and how does it work?
The map of wishes is your dreams, collected in one place according to the laws of feng shui. Literally, this is a set of images and notes on a board or Whatman. The idea of a wish map is that you surround yourself with images of your ideal life: for example, who you want to be, where you want to live, where you want to go, what you want to achieve, etc.
How to make a wish map – 9 sectors
The wish map is divided into 9 thematic sectors: the center is you, and the surrounding areas are the areas of your life. In the center we put your photo or a figure with which you represent yourself. Next, the sectors are placed as follows:
1. Glory be to you
Everything associated with success and prospects is glued here. If you want to become a famous person or a leader, place those desires in this sector.
2. Love and relationships – top right
If you are single, then here we paste photos of happy couples and photos of the man/woman – the partner of your dreams. You cannot use a photo of a real person you like. If you are in a relationship – post joint happy photos.
3. Creativity and children are on your right
If you don’t have children yet, but you want them, then we glue children’s photos. If you already have one, you can place pictures related to creativity here. For example, if you want to learn to play the guitar or draw.
4. Support and travel – bottom right
We stick photos of people who inspire you in this sector. If you want to move to another city or country, or dream of visiting an island – a photo of this place.
5. Career is up to you
Everything related to career and business can be located here. All the heights you want to reach in your work can be visualized.
6. Education – bottom left
This is a zone of new knowledge – put everything you want to learn here. You can place the name of the university where you want to enter, the country, the language of which you want to learn.
7. Home and family are on your left
Here is your home, comfort and pets. You can put pictures with a large family.
8. Money – on the top left
We warn you right away – it is not possible to glue the image of money. But you can put a photo of the desired expensive things, as well as pictures symbolizing a salary increase, a bonus or a lottery win, a photo of the desired apartment or car.
The wish card should be hung in a visible place – you will look at it every day and remember your wishes. And soon make sure that the card works.
