I know that this surely seems quite a negative methodology to subscribe to  but i feel this is what i really need right now (the old carrot/stick model)
Consequences for every action... compliance/non-compliance entirely upto me.
Thanks a ton, Shivraj. All the best for your Goals! |
I believe, carrot and stick model can get you started but for long term motivations it's useless, sooner or later suppressed feelings rebels.
IMHO what works for me is setting incremental goals that gives feeling of improvements also daily visualization of final outcome is a great motivator.
There were very strong urges for me to leave the challange inbetween but I wanted to give gift of self discipline, health, improved knowledge to myself on my birthday, which is on 30th september.
so I persisted. Challege was really tough ..
