A lot of people tell us they wish they were as “motivated” as we are.
Here’s the secret of our motivation, because it might surprise you:
Sometimes we’re NOT.
BUT… when that happens, like it often happens when we just didn’t feel like working out…
We did it anyway.
It wasn’t easy. We just put one foot in front of the other and showed up.
And, of course, we felt so much better afterward.
Here’s what we know about motivation.
You can’t count on it to get you started.
You have to DO something to wake it up and welcome it in.
You’ve probably experienced this yourself without realizing it.
Like that night you were tempted to order takeout but instead made dinner at home…
We’re sure you were glad you made the effort!
Or the after-dinner walk you took to clear your head that left you wondering why you don’t do that more often.
And, yes, doing the workout you weren’t in the mood to start.
Sometimes it takes a while for your brain to catch up with your body.
So the next time you’re waiting to feel motivated, try this instead: just start.
Five minutes in, you might be surprised at what shows up!
