Get rid of every distraction possible
, even if this means changing
your environment. Have you ever been hungry and ended up
snacking on something unhealthy just because it was there? If it
wasn’t there, the temptation wouldn’t exist. We get distracted by
things that are easily available to us.
2. 
Give yourself an incentive to complete the task.
For example, tell
yourself you can meet with your friends later if you finish whatever
needs to be done. This will give you something to look forward to
and motivate you to take action.
3. 
Take breaks to do something enjoyable.
We all need a little time
out when working, but make sure your breaks are for a fixed
duration. If you want to watch a new episode of a show, schedule a
period for it and don’t exceed it.
4. 
Get creative.
Make your tasks more appealing. When doing
activities that don’t require much thought, you could play music in
the background. This will raise your vibration. Singing along might
make the activity even more enjoyable.
5. 
Get some help if required.
Never be afraid to ask for help. Talk to
someone who’s recently accomplished a similar goal to you. This
may provide much-needed inspiration and they may be able to give
you valuable guidance.

6. 
Give yourself a consequence for not taking action.
For example,
you could tell yourself that if you don’t go to the gym today, you
can’t watch television for the entire week. To ensure you don’t go
back on what you say, make sure you tell others about it. This leads
me to my final point…
7. 
Announce your intentions to some trustworthy friends.
This will
give you some accountability; they’ll know if you don’t stick to your
plans, and they might even give you a little push to ensure that you
achieve what you set out to do.
