Motivate Others With Motivational T Shirts

By Nita McKinney


A t shirt can be a fun way to get a message across, whether it is funny or serious. Motivational t shirts can lift someone's spirits by sending a positive message their way. These shirts are fun to read and fun to wear!

Staying motivated can be very difficult for a lot of people. Regardless of the challenge, whether it's weight loss or simply positive thinking, often we need something to boost us up and keep us going. A shirt that has a motivational saying could make this difference between achieving and simply existing.

Humans are programmed instinctively to feel the best at a particular level of excitement, which is not too high or not too low. A low level of excitement or stimuli could cause us to desire exercise or watching something exciting. If the excitement level is too high, we may feel stressed and want to relax or meditate and shut the world away. Contemplating a motivational quote can inspire us to take action and return to the middle, optimal level of excitement.

We are motivated at various times to perform certain actions, depending upon our needs. Abraham Maslow illustrated this perfectly in his 'hierarchy of needs.' The most basic needs, such as food, water, and shelter, are the first things we take care of. Once our basic needs are met, we will then have a desire for self-actualization or self-fulfillment. Staying motivated can help us meet this need by helping us reach our goals and capture our dreams.

An optimal level of motivation can lead to what is known as peak experiences, which helps us reaffirm the beauty of life and renew our relationship with the world around us. Having such experiences periodically energizes us and renews our sense of self. Many people are not living the life they want and feel lethargic and sad. A motivational saying can have a positive effect on someone and change the way they look at things. Such affirmations help us resist depression and negative thoughts.

There are motivational sayings to fit nearly any need. Often these are quotes by famous writers, authors, actors, and other public figures. There are many websites that are devoted simply to motivational and inspirational quotes. One such quote is from Helen Keller, "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do." Such a message can offer hope and possibly cause someone to change their life.

Quotes by people we admire can motivate us to be like they are. These inspirational people include Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King. Listening to their powerful words can help us feel like it is possible for us to reach our dreams and inspire us to take positive action in that direction.

It is easy to find motivational t shirts online, many sites sell only t shirts. Many sites will create custom shirts for those who cannot find a particular quote or saying already on a shirt. Bring your motivation with you by wearing it!
