The document provides guidance on creating a positive reminder tool. It suggests writing down answers to questions about your goals, inspirations, strengths, and reasons for success to reference when feeling unmotivated or discouraged. Keeping this reminder private but readily accessible is meant to help release positive emotions and reinforce determination. Periodic review and updates can help maintain long-term motivation through challenges.
2. The reminder is there to jog your memory about just exactly why you started
down the path you have chosen. It allows you to think positively about all
the talent you have, about all the sacrifices you have already made, about all
the people who are behind you , helping you , about all the progress you
have already made, and about all the great hopes and dreams you have for
the future.
The reminder answers you when you ask yourself “what is the point of all
this? Or ‘Why am I bothering?
It is there to stop you feeling down.
The reminder works because it it releases all those great chemicals in the
brain that makes you feel better, energized, inspired, confident , determined
, successful, unbeatable , focused , resilient , brave , enthusiastic , and
optimistic again.
Do you have a positive reminder statement? If not , Write one now.

“It’s okay to be vulnerable : learn to understand yourself and the
processes you go through when you are under pressure and learn how
to deal with it . Pressure then becomes irrelevant, because it is always
there.
