How mindfulness and motivation work together

Some people think mindfulness and motivation are complete opposites. Mindfulness encourages us to being in the present stae of mind while motivation is about pushing toward the future. When combined they are a powerful tool toward our personal growth. 

Motivation is usually fueled by stress, pressures we have, anxiety, and the desire to escape. Mindfulness introduces the pause and lets you look clearly to being motivated. It clears the clutter your mind is feeding you and calms that mind to push forward and succeed at what we are after.

People sometimes chase their goals and often fall into that false belief that achieving the goal will bring happiness. Mindfulness will bring curiosity and a beginners mind to our actions. Mindfulness makes you see something before it may happen. When they work together it reduces stress and anxiety and makes you achieve the goal you want.

Mindfulness will sharpen you present moment and stop you from looking back on things. It bring you to think of now rather than in your mind. Mindfulness meditation can help reduce stress, anxiety, and clear your mind of thing cluttering it . 

How do you feel mindfulness and motivation work together?
