Knowing

When people are motivated by moving away from things, they don't always pay too much
attention to where they are going to end up, whereas people who are successful in life
generally don't wait until something gets bad before they do something about it, they take
action before pain or discomfort forces them to. They are action takers.
Worriers and people who suffer from anxiety are people who are probably motivated by
moving away from things as opposed to moving towards things. They make decisions in
life, only to realize later that they no longer want what they have and so they move away
again, only this time in a different direction. The problem is that when the person gets
further away from something they don’t want, their motivation dies down, that is until
they realize the place where they have arrived isn’t what they really want and so move
away again. Using a move towards motivational strategy eliminates this problem.
A question you may want to ask yourself is that if you are someone who predominately
keeps moving away from things, where will this take you? Where are you headed for? It
is good to be motivated, either towards something or away from something, but if you
find yourself always moving away from something and not actually towards anything
then a balance needs to be found. If you have a lot of ‘move away’ from strategies then
change them into ‘move towards’ instead to get a more balanced motivation strategy.
This way you become someone who knows what they want, where they want to be, and
who takes action to make it happen.
