One can use this in a maintenance mode by regularly engaging in activities that take us out of our comfort zones, especially things that are challenging or high-risk (e.g., rock-climbing, bungee jumping, skydiving, or even public speaking (these things are relative to the person doing them)). By doing this on a regular basis, our confidence level at work can soar, making us feel unstoppable! A real-life example? Look at Richard Branson!

I also find it useful to focus on the purpose of what I'm trying to accomplish. When I remember the purpose, I get excited and re-motivated even though there have been setbacks. I then start thinking about other approaches to accomplishing the purpose which leads to action. Steve,
