• Visualize something that you want to achieve.

Focus on what they would feel like, sound like, taste like, and who would be involved. The more visceral the image you make in your mind, the more you can start to tune your subconscious to make it happen.

• Read something inspiring.

Read books or emails from newsletters that inspire you. One of my absolute favorite quotes from Zig Ziglar is: “People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.”

• Have a mental conversation with someone who inspires you.

Think of someone who you respect and either ask yourself what they would do in a certain situation, or you can even have a mental conversation with them. Imagine you were sitting at a table with them and think about how they would respond.
