MOTIVATING THOSE DONKEYS.....

Sometimes it's really hard to keep motivated, the work is drying up & you just can't seem to get moving; we have all been there.  Hopefully these tips will help to put that click back in your photo finger, that spin back in your record or the mojo back in your.....well ya know where I'm going with this......

1. Like J Lo said (was it her?!) go back to your roots.  What do you really love doing, what subjects interest you most?  Plan a personal project to increase your portfolio and get your brain ticking again.

2. All work no play makes for....well my life at the moment but seriously - remember to take some time out to do the things you really enjoy & to hang out with your mates etc.  (Much more riveting conversation than your laptop as well!)

3. Set yourself realistic goals and targets as to when you should reach them and a path as to how you will get there.

4. Share your thoughts and creative juices with others.  I am not talking kinky business here but go to networking groups, meet with others in your industry and just get yourself out there.  This will also be a great self promotion tool and that positive feedback which we know you will receive will be yet another thing to inspire you.

5. Reward yourself, my favorite.  I like to choose 3-kg of Cadbury's at the end of a long editing session but each to their own!
