My top motivators

About ten years ago I attended a course for Improving the Self-Esteem and Confidence of Children and Adults (ISECCA) and I loved it. It really inspired me.  Before that I had become the Primary School teacher that I had aspired to be and then I was drifting along; living without direction. The course opened my eyes to positive thinking and goal setting in particular. After that I looked into many areas of self-improvement. 

Recently, as a fairly new mum I realised that although some of my goals had changed I still have many needs and ambitions in my life - even if only to get some quality relaxation time and enjoy the journey of learning.

These are some of my top motivators, please feel free to recommend more!

  1. Anthony Robbins - He is so inspiratonal in so many areas of life, I love listening to him on you tube when I'm doing washing up and other chores!
  2. Lou Tice - My original inspiration. I had a set of CDs that I could play in the car on the way to work and I would feel ready for the day.
  3. Dawna Walter - I love to be in a clutter free environment, if only for a moment.
  4. Anthea Turner - She is a new inspiration to me, no-one folds towels like she does! Her Perfect Housewife series had a lovely traditional charm. (Must be the Mummy side of me!)
  5. Dale Carnegie - Someone asked me what had I changed in my life after reading 'Stop worrying, sart living' as I looked so much happier!
  6. SARK- I love her ideas to develop creativity, reading her work is like being in an art gallery.
  7. Alvin Hall - He inspires me to sort my money out.  I just have to look at his beaming face and it feels good to save!
  8. Fiona Harrold - The book 'Be your Own Life Coach' has loads of great ideas in and it's written with a female perspective. If nothing else; I feel better when I read this book!
  9. Dawn Breslin - I found 'Zest for Life' in an Oxfam book shop lately and I'm so glad I did.  She reawakened my passion to learn and grow.

  10. Dr Laura Schlessinger - The book 'The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands' may cause a few people to tut at it's title but a lot of the contents are so informative.  It really openend my eyes to a relationship that I had already been in for about seventeen years and helped to create more harmony.  We even got married this summer...

Have fun on your journey.
