Time to ignite the fire within
In a fast-paced world filled with distractions and external influences, it is crucial to tap into our inner drive and take control of our lives. Self-activation is the process of igniting our motivation, taking ownership of our actions, and unlocking our full potential. Let’s explore the concept of self-activation, its importance in personal growth, and practical strategies to cultivate self-activation in our daily lives.
Why you need self-activation
It’s common these days to read, listen and watch many different forms of content. Unfortunately, for some of us, you end up over consuming. You’re consuming so much information without embodying it and allowing it to activate you. Moreover, we go through these periods of time when we want more information on a particular topic. It’s important that this information doesn’t just sit on the top of your head, and that’s where it ends. You need to self-activate to get to the next level.
With this in mind, once you allow yourself to become activated you have the ability to reach your full potential. Its’s important to not need any external source to activate but to activate from within. Although, it’s okay to have others activate us as well.
Self-Awareness is key
First, I’d like to mention how important self-awareness is. You need to be aware of what you are capable of. It’s important to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses. When we are aware of ourselves, we can cultivate better results, through strengthening our weaknesses or allowing someone to help us in that area of life. The awareness allows us to become better at self-activation to achieve our goals.

If you are ever feeling stuck in life, this is the answer, self-activation in order to take action and control of your life. Self-activation is the internal catalyst that propels us into action, allowing us to pursue our goals and aspirations. It involves harnessing our intrinsic motivation, building self-discipline, and cultivating a growth mindset. By taking charge of our lives and activating our inner resources, we can break free from inner turmoil, overcome challenges, and achieve our desired outcomes.
How to overcome a lack of motivation
There are many gurus and coaches that say need motivation to accomplish something. Motivation cannot be your only driving force. Why? Because motivation is not always present within us when we need it. It is not always easy to harness motivation because it depends on your mindset, and your life circumstances. If you struggle with this, like I have, here is some practical advice to follow to push through lack of motivation to pursue your goals.
- Mindset: Clear your mind of all the limiting beliefs by creating new beliefs. Old beliefs can hinder your growth and you reaching your full potential.
- Create a schedule: Make a daily routine of things you do every day and give a certain time frame. Consistency is key when it comes to staying on track to achieve goals.
- Energy harness: Understand the times in a month you have the highest amount of energy and the lowest amount of energy. Try to harness those high-energy periods with productivity and structure. Low energy times are great for just resting.

Own your desires God places in your heart
I was watching a wonderful video series by Wayne Cordeiro about discovering ourselves based on the bible. It was so interesting to me because he discussed our design, which is an acronym for Desire, experience, spiritual gifts, individual style, growth stage, and natural abilities. Where we have the desire it’s from God, he places these desires in our hearts. We need to follow our heart’s desires and pursue them with passion. It’s in our will to do these things. When we do this it’s that passion that keeps us going. Self-activation is key. Without the activation we won’t be able to act on these desires and passions.
Overcoming Barriers in order to Self-Activate
There are many roadblocks we face when trying to accomplish our goals. You may have had people speak negatively about you and what you’re capable of. You may have had people tell lies about you or about your life. Well, I am here to tell you that it was true. You are the image and righteousness of God. You were made on purpose with purpose in you and natural abilities. Don’t let fear, self-doubt, or nay-sayers stop you.
1. Fear and Self-Doubt: Fear and self-doubt can hinder self-activation. Speak kindly to yourself, practice self-compassion, and embrace a growth mindset to overcome these barriers. Journaling can be helpful. for challenging negative self-talk and understanding where it comes from.
2. Procrastination and Lack of Focus: Identify the underlying causes of procrastination and implement strategies to enhance focus and productivity. Often times procrastination can be a coping mechanism for the chaos that is going on around you. Break tasks into manageable chunks, use time-blocking techniques and minimize distraction.
3. Perfectionism: No one is perfect so why do we try to be. It’s an internal feeling of never being enough and seeking others’ approval. People tend to do this to feel important and get attention from others which they are in desperate need of. Understand it’s not about perfection but about starting and finishing the task with excellence.
