How to Get and Stay Motivated in Less Than 5 Minutes
November 9, 2009 by Steve
Have you ever felt totally beat up and out of control?
Like no matter what you did, you couldn’t get yourself motivated?
Sometimes it can be hard to stay focused and centered as you move through your workday. It’s hard to get control. You have good intentions at the start of the day, but things seem to go off track.
You know what I mean?
Well, here is something that has helped me quite a bit. Not only has it helped me gain control, but it’s also helped me rekindle that inner fire.
It’s an important technique that I haven’t seen anywhere else on the web. And the best part is that you can use it over and over again once you “get it.” Here’s the video:

I’ve tried it and it did motivate me to do the thing that motivated me in the first place
so for me I thought of the Karate Tournament I did recently, and now I do feel like I would like to do another tournament.
How exactly can I use this to motivate me for something new?
Hi Niels,
What specifically would you like to be motivated to do?
at the moment that would be either to clean my room, read a book or write a blog post
whatever is easiest to do, so I could figure out how to use it for anything else
@ Niels: Yup, pretty much.
You just want to take the specific structure of that time when you were motivated and integrate that structure into the new situation where you would like to be motivated.
So all I need to do is practise a bit more? :-)
I was expecting it to work like some of your other video’s where it could work instantly with the first try
Hi Niels:
It does if you have the whole strategy, but it’s not always necessary.
Our brain fires off signals so fast that sometimes we miss it – a little bit of training on how the brain works usually helps to increase our awareness…
We tend to quickly forget great moments in our every day lives in the mad rush to just make it through the day or make it to the next big goal. At the end of the day, it’s very helpful to write down even the smallest accomplishments and events that “made your day” or that just put the tiniest smile on your face – no matter how small.
You can always build on what you remember and can feel. But if you can’t even remember great moments of your day, week, or month with great clarity and warm feelings, it’s almost impossible sometimes to find the strength to access them to motivate and inspire you.
Writing these things down helps you go back and relive the feelings of exhilaration and excitement. These are the very things that Steve talks about that will imprint your brain with greater clarity, emotional content, and gratitude – the very ingredients that will build enthusiasm and motivation for you every time you access them.
So, for motivating yourself to do something new, think of all the times you didn’t want to do something and try reliving the exact moment of how great you felt after accomplishing that something you thought you couldn’t do; that people told you that you couldn’t accomplish; that dare you took and conquered. Relive hearing the compliments you and your friends gave you when you completed it. Live it in the present…
The faster your mind can pull up vivid images of success and associated feelings of triumph, the more motivated you’ll be to conquer the world in small or great things. :)
Keeping a log of the smallest and tiniest things can be extremely helpful. Stop waiting to recount only the big events in life; your week; your day. Look for great moments every second. In waiting for a cool moment like a solar eclipse, we can forget all the beautiful days of sunshine and nights with along with all those moments of our lives that build character, success, and gratitude.
Great work Steve. Love your videos and writing. Thanks for inspiring us with your work…

I try my best to keep out those negative thoughs by saying CANCEL then replace it right away with a postive thought which is some times a great memory when I was all fired up feeling good.I got all fired up at a church one time feeling low then moments later feeling on top of the world and loved by God.
Wow…. You are amazing. I just learned more about myself in the past 5 minutes on your site than I have reading tons of books and attending leadership seminars. Kudos to you for understanding these concepts and sharing them with the world. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
@ Tiffany:
Thank-you
[..YouTube..] I like this. Thanks. AND you HAVE to be canadian..
[..YouTube..] @jubileeeee:
Haha…. yup, I’m Canadian :)
[..YouTube..] What motivates me the most is watching bin men take out trash. Because thats EXACTLY what I don’t want to be. Woke up at 6 AM to study..All because I was motivated.
Thanks. :)
[..YouTube..] I can’t get motivated with the methods you’re describing because you’re telling me that at least one of these methods should get motivated and my willingness to not believe you is causing a buildup of spite that is disallowing me to be motivated by any of the ways you’ve described.
[..YouTube..] @AnarchyAo2:
Relax. Stop making it such a big deal that it’s not working… a lot of people seem to get “uptight” when once strategy doesn’t work… be open to learning new ways to getting motivated and you’ll always find a way…
[..YouTube..] your really clever and you know what your talking about ! thanks you really helped me a lot ! =) xxx
[..YouTube..] thanks, great energy :) this made me realise that I’m more likely to get motivated visually, though seeing results that I want to achieve myself.
[..YouTube..] Steve. Go into motivation speaking and story telling. Lucrative. The workshop part of your video is unlearn-able by those who haven’t taken NLP or Hypnosis, for the most part. Fast talk is entertaining and stimulating yet difficult to utilize. Love the look, excellent voice, awesome energy. See you on the speakers circuit some time soon. K
[..YouTube..] …I was wondering about “felt or touched”. Would “felt” also include something you “felt emotionally”? I was thinking of the last time I was motivated, amd what I was feeling at the time was a feeling of relief (I’d had some good news that meant things were actually OK instead of going bad as I’d feared). That feeling of relief gave me a feeling that anything was possible and I felt energised. So would that be a relevant thing in this context?
Good video btw !!!
[..YouTube..] hahaha just listen to the superman theme song while your getting ready for work…lolz it would make u feel motivated..heck it’ll make u feel unbreakable
[..YouTube..] @djalladream89: hahaha… :-)
[..YouTube..] Hey Gary,
I didn’t really dive into this, but for every kinesthetic feeling, you can either have a corresponding external (touch) or internal (gut feeling) that triggers another part of your motivational strategy…. good catch!
Steve
[..YouTube..] Thank you very much, great video. I have felt so unmotivated for the last years of my life and I so need a change because I won’t live forever, I have a son now. I’m sure this will help me. Thank you again. And you are so cute hehehe.
[..YouTube..] @campanitayamamoto… thank you!!! Love to be of service…
Steve
[..YouTube..] Inspiring and hot, quite the combination.
[..YouTube..] Well, there I was and in less than five minutes, I did not get motivated.
[..YouTube..] secret to motivation in less than three seconds…UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS DRILL INSTRUCTORS!!!!! ORAHHHHHH! awesome video
[..YouTube..] I don’t know if I want to remember the last time I was motivated. I was motivated to leave a really bad situation. It just puts me in a really bad frame of mind remembering ‘Why I was motivated”
[..YouTube..] Thanks, I needed this; I was getting ostracized alot by people, which made me want to beat those people at everything that they were good at…although this motivation seems pretty dark, it’s the most powerful to me.
[..YouTube..] Thank Stephen Martile. It is a great presentation. i am going to try the exact same thing as you described in the video
[..YouTube..] Thank Stephen Martile. It is a great presentation. i am going to try the exact same thing as you described in the video
[..YouTube..] you hot!!
[..YouTube..] My high school friends got me motivated into drawing in the first place. So maybe I should reconnect with them to get motivated to work in school again! Thanks a lot :-)
[..YouTube..] i get motivated by thinking that, “im still employed even though the UK is in a bad financial situation (recession)” and then that gets me thinking, “i must be important if i haven’t been layed off”. AND THEN I FEEL GOOD : )
[..YouTube..] I like your theory but i am having a hard time to get motivated to study for my anatomy and physiology test i have coming up and i cant put your experiment in my situation. any tips?
[..YouTube..] @tace21491:
One of the important distinctions I see with motivation is that some people have a hard time motivating themselves to do the things they don’t want to do.
Before considering any technique, it’s really important that you get agreement that this is something you want to do. Everything gets much easier once you make that agreement with yourself. So before using techniques for motivation ask yourself:
“Is this what I really want?”
[..YouTube..] From this moment, I’ll make you my motivation!What I see and heard on YT. Thanks, brother.(maybe you’re not my bro, but haha just kidding..I don’t have a brother anyway. )
[..YouTube..] im motivated! woo
[..YouTube..] Great video, I have never heard of this exercise before. I think it will help. See, heard, or touched. I was motivated this morning, I think it was by see. I got excited and motivated to go out and buy a used camera bag, that I seen online. I am know the proud owner of a camera bag, may not seem like much, however when I think back on the way I felt, it kind of gets me a bit drivin. Thanks for the video, and also thanks for not trying to sell some “system”.
[..YouTube..] I feel motivated when I listen to some songs for some reason. I can imagine myself in the future while listening to the song, can that be a good motivation starter?
[..YouTube..] @thenerdal… Absolutely! And when you feel that way, start taking action…
[..YouTube..] thanks you very much ,video is great.I am feeling so energetic ..thanks again
[..YouTube..] You said “aboot.”
[..YouTube..] @ForbiddenHaze: those Canadians, eh :D
[..YouTube..] @ForbiddenHaze Canadian accents are my favourite. Swoon.
[..YouTube..] I’m having a hard time gettign motivated for studying because whenever i think back to when i was motivated and i get that trigger fealing, but after like 2 minutes of studying it just makes me want to go do what that motivation was, which is to play the drums. Any tips?
[..YouTube..] @jaa82095:
Yes… find the underlying pattern that motivated you to play the drums and add that to an image of you studying… if you’re still unsure, check out my Motivation Book on my blog… I explain it step by step and it’s free…
[..YouTube..] Very valuble information, yet quite simple: you’ve been motivated before, recreate the mental conditions that that previous motivated feeling happened under.
[..YouTube..] @truemind: EXACTLY!
[..YouTube..] i love you
[..YouTube..] I can tell you’re canadian from the way you say aboot. lol
[..YouTube..] you get energy from eating food :3
[..YouTube..] its been so long since ive been motivated… to do anything… i can’t even remember the last time i fel motivated =(
[..YouTube..] I can’t believe it worked *_*
[..YouTube..] @truemind ok….well what if that time happened a long time ago and it did not yield good results?
[..YouTube..] @TheMANGO107 lol

Well if its something we really want we don’t need motivational techniques cuz we’re automatically motivated.
Motivation is defined by wanting to do something one really wants.

Now, I’m just dragging through and I have a 10 page paper to write for English. My problem isn’t getting it done, cause I get my homework done. My problem is, I don’t put nearly as much effort into it as I want because I feel, well….unmotivated. Help? :/

” Study well , so we can be together in the same college I would really like that ”
she always motivate me with her words :)

[..YouTube..] Your gestures were distracting. Furthermore, I laughed when you said you got your mom to proof read for you. Ha. ha. I am still laughing. Really bro, I admire your ambition but you ought to come up with something other that what Tony Robbins delivers. Good luck.
[..YouTube..] Tony Robbins gives some of the best mind empowering information to the us period. He truly is someone who helps people grow to the next Level!
[..YouTube..] i fail a lot, so want to give up then fight for it. but damnit, if u delay ur homework u feel fucked uo anyways:(
[..YouTube..] IMO the best way to get the job done is by using planning methods. If you plan every single thing you will see that it can be done and you will feel more at ease. This comfort will probably reduce your stress and will make it easier to focus on your study and do whatever needs to be done at that point in time. At least, thats my perception of it.
[..YouTube..] @jaa82095 Sure! Play drums! : )
No, seriously. There is a huge difference between doin what you like, and doing what you have to. With all respect – stephenmartie has corever a lot of important things, but hasnt covered the most important. Put in simple way – motivation happens when you connect positive emotions and expectations to your imagination about what you are going to do. Well. You can for example promise to yourself a nice drum session after you get some result in studying…

[..YouTube..] just thought of a great name for an energy drink, “motivation”. and now that i saw this video, i am motivated to create this energy drink and become a millionaire. Thank you stephenmartile for making me rich.
[..YouTube..] I feel motivated when i touch hot women… i think where getting somewhere…
[..YouTube..] You look like a really young guy. The thing is I am 36 ( I turned 36 on the 11th of March) and I have to admit that I have a problem with what I call psychological scar tissue. Like times when I didn’t back myself and ended up selling myself short and going through periods of being despondant. Anyway I am currently doing a diploma in journalism and I am having trouble justifying what I am doing and undermining my confidence through negative internal chatter which also saps my energy,
[..YouTube..] fuke this , another crappy kid.
[..YouTube..] @whytedog
Try sitting down and writing a few sentences that capture why you wanted to go into journalism in the first place. Maybe emphasize the good that can be done via honorable journalism and write a bit about the people who will be helped by the stories you report. Keep this piece of paper folded up in a pocket for referencing. Sometimes in moments of distress or despondence, it is difficult to recall and fully appreciate ideas that were conceptualized during a positive state of mind.

Hi Stephen, I am ‘V’ from India. For now I would just tell you everything in a peripheral level, i was a good student in school upto my 10th, once I entered my college (for 11th and 12th), the big college atmosphere some what scared me, and I started failing tremendously, I used to not ask any questions in class even though I had doubts, so I failed my 12th, later it took 2 years to just pass and continue my education to start with my bachelor degree, I thought I could finally begin a fresh start, I got 1st class in the first semester and suddenly things started to go back, i got 2nd class in my second sem, from 3rd sem i started to fail. Now i am not graduated. I have to get my degree, so the following year I thought i have to pass, but no now it is not happening, I will be taking another year to complete my degree, that means 5 years to complete my 3 year degree, now I want to put all my efforts, but I am not able to, how to? all my degree I was hating myself for failing, for not asking questions, for not overcoming my fears, for always depending on my friends, for not to put efforts, not procrastinating things to do, and everything is still the same, please help me out. Thing is I know I have to pass, I know I have to work, I know I have to study, I have a strong desire to pass and get my degree, I love education, but why I am I not working.? please help me out.

So, step 1 Envision how beautiful the house will be when clean (when I draw, I already have an idea of what I want). Step 2 Use my hands to mold this home into the beauty I see in my head. Step 3 Step back and marvel at how nice it looks when its clean! ^_^ Step 4 Praise myself so I do it again! Thanks dude! Never thought of it that way! Time for some music~.

[..YouTube..] those 30 people were motivated to dislike
this board me into doing my work sooo thank you hahaha
The last time i got motivated was when i failed in my exam.. So u want me to do that again???…
BRO fix your hair!
Blow motivates me.
In that case try this instead. Remember the last time you got really angry about something. Anger is pure motivation. Whether someone was a jerk and you had the urge to punch their teeth out or if thoughts of revenge came to mind. Even if you didn’t actually do these things your anger brought these motivations. Anger is a negative emotion, but it’s often easier to remember than a positive motivation. A motivation backed by positive emotions is better when you’re able to remember them.
why so much echo?
LOL I don’t think he did either.
you LITERALLY read my mind
Sorry I didn’t finished the video but I was motivated to not do anything.

the best motivation is the deadline

Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
thank uu

Last Monday, I HEARD my preceptor for a clinical research project (he is a plastic surgeon, which is my career aspiration) SAY to me, “All right Mike, we are going to have you draft the abstract for us.” As a first year med student, it was my first time being handed that kind of professional responsibility so casually. Our submission deadline for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons is this Monday. Time to get off youtube and revise that 3rd draft! Good video.
