*Add the scores for items 1, 2, 4 and 5. Now subtract the score for item 3.


Analysis
:
The range of scores of people taking this test is between 0 and 15. The higher your score, the more self-motivated you are. Building your confidence requires self-motivation. You can't be motivated by outside influences... you can only motivate yourself. If your total score is between 11 and 8, you probably need help in developing more internal motivation. If your total score is less than 7, you definitely need motivational coaching. 



MAKING HABITS STICK

Motivation doesn't just happen. You can't just sit around, waiting for inspiration. It won't happen! Many studies have shown that your behavior has to change... in very small amounts, before your attitudes change. Dr. Albert Bandura, a well-known psychologist at Stanford University defined the attitude of "Self-efficacy", in which you have a sense of control over your own actions. Self-efficacy helps you to better deal with troublesome situations. Once you have a strong sense of self-efficacy, you can make many of the changes you desire with ease. I can help to start you on your positive journey!


SMALL STEPS COUNT!!


Once you have settled on a goal, then you must develop your plans. These should be small and simple. My proven techniques will teach you how.


MINDFULNESS MATTERS!


The biggest roadblock to motivation is the distraction of everyday life! To make your motivation stick, you need to clear your mind a few times a day with my simple 3-step process to mindfulness. When you learn the path to mindfulness, you will be able to visualize your goals and plans, keep them in front of you... free from distraction. I will show you how!
