Motivation is necessary when trying to learn psychic abilities. Most people stop their own psychic development because they lack motivation. I know exactly how it’s like, because I’ve been there myself. But I managed to find motivation for myself, and now I want to share my story with you, so you could learn from my own experiences once again.

The beginning

The beginning was difficult, because when I first decided to develop my own skills, I didn’t had real motivation, no real goal. I wanted to learn some skills just to learn them. I thought it will be cool to have such skills, but beside that I didn’t know how I could use psychic abilities in daily life. I didn’t even thought about it. Without real goal, there was no motivation for practise. So I stopped practising…

When many months later I returned to developing psychic abilities, I still had no goal. So I decided to set my goal – I  decided to teach psychic abilities because I already knew everyone can develop them, and this knowledge should be shared – so now I had a goal.

Finding motivation

This goal helped me greatly – having it meant that I need to practise, so I needed to find ways to motivate myself. The first thing I discovered was a book about psychic development… then another book, and few more. Within weeks I collected small library of books related to psychic phenomena, paranormal and the occult. That was the beginning…

Because I became interested in occult in general, I stumbled upon name of grimoire. I thought mixing this idea with simple journal could be useful. So I started writing my own psychic notebook, containing my knowledge and experiences. And that was one big step in motivating myself, because as it turned out, writing this notebook was a great way of having fun and I enjoyed it – and in order to keep writing it, I had to study more knowledge, and experience more things.

The Passion Board

I also started collecting newspaper clippings, photos and notes, putting them into a folder. Soon I realised I was enjoying this, and I decided to put this collection somewhere where I could look at it each day. So I created a passion board and hang it on the wall in my room. This way, I could look at each day and I could think about who I am, what I do and what are my goals.

Blog and other people

A State of Mind was growing and more and more people were asking questions and seeking my advices. In order to answer their questions, I needed to study more and practise more. When they were describing techniques they were using for own psychic development, in order to help them out with their problems I had to test their techniques on my own skin. That was another way to motivate myself.

Today

Today, with goal to create a big public library, still growing A State of Mind, supported by passion boards, notebooks and real people around me, I don’t seek more motivation – practise became a habit, and my psychic development continues each day. If you want to motivate yourself too, I have few advices.

  • Set a goal - not a goal to learn a skill, but a goal that will motivate you to learn that skill, because for some reason it will be useful
  • Use passion boards and notebooks – collect knowledge, respect it and share it.
  • Share knowledge and help others – start your own psychic development blog, or write guest posts for A State of Mind. If you have knowledge, share it – both online and off-line.

Those are small things, but they helped me, maybe they will also help you? Who knows, just try…

  1. I have to admit that I’d been using my skills since I was a tiny child, but that was just psychometry. It hadn’t occurred to me until I was well into adulthood that I could use the skills in other ways. I had premonition dreams about disasters that happened with 2 days’ time with amazing accuracy in which I was one of the people involved in the disaster but was unhurt, only there as a witness. I realized I could use the skills in new ways like remote viewing when I went online and did psychic tests at http://www.gotpsi.org every day. It helped me work my skills more. I think the biggest obstacle psychics have are logic and interpretation. Sometimes, when you read something, your logical mind talks you out of it “that can’t be!” you say to yourself. I run into this a lot if I read someone I know because I think I know them well enough that what I’m reading can’t be true. Talking yourself out of what you find is a huge issue. The other issues is interpretation. One time, I read a man and told him he had a brother 10 months younger than him who was irresponsible. I was right about the brother being 10 months apart and being irresponsible, but I was wrong about him being younger, he was the older brother. I assumed because this guy was responsible, he was the elder. This was a very good post about about this subject. I’ve known people who waited until mid life to start working their skills. I’m so happy to see people doing it. Some people are born using it right away, others don’t realize it until later with maturity. I think we all have it most definitely. It’s just finding out how you get the information.
