Emotion as Motivation

[PacificBlue]

Do you use your emotions as motivation for personal change?

Baby, you know my thoughts on this one already!

YES!

I use other things too, but Emotion is the best one. Last month when I turned 35, I changed drastically I had a BAAAAAAAAD day, my birthday, everything went bad that day. I vowed right then and there, that things would change in my life. THAT was my motivation! People don't believe you can change just like that, but for me it did, all in one day.

Yes it can be a source to motivate you. Emotion and physical.

In example, when going thru tough times and doing some self evaluation I got a little ticked off. Thought about WHAT made me ticked off and realized that I had done it by myself with no ones help. Sure there were other things that contributed but it was ME who was guilty. I got pissed off at myself and CHANGED.

Just remember to think about it though. Don't simply use your emotion by itself. Use your emotion to spark creative thoughts and solutions to the problem. Then use that emotion to drive you to complete your goal.

My emotions are motivation for every single little thing I ever do.

My emotions play a large part of any major decision I make. How could it be otherwise? Too often, I'm afraid, my emotions rule over reason.
