3 Ways to Empower Yourself to Become More Productive
Motivation focuses on increasing our desire to complete the work. That is why most motivational content focuses on the reward after completing a task. It hopes to pull you towards what your life could look like if you completed your work.
Despite motivation helping with feelings of discouragement, to increase our productivity we need to feel empowered. Empowerment gives us the ability to do our work and is not so focused on our desire to do it.
Focusing on our ability to work rather than how we feel to get work done will assist us in the long run. That is because how we feel is constantly changing. So, here are three ways you can start developing your empowerment.
Self-Belief
Developing belief in ourselves puts us in a position to feel empowered to complete our work. Those who do not believe in themselves may find motivation helpful, but self-belief is what we need.
We can develop our self-belief by firstly acknowledging our own strengths. Understanding where we have the ability to add value to others is a good place to start. Also, reminding yourself of areas where people compliment you most will be beneficial.
