5 Tips to Get Motivated…and STAY that way!
“How do I get and stay motivated?”
Sound familiar? Is this you? You are not alone! These are some of the comments I frequently see in my feed. For those of you feeling this way, watch on! In this video I am sharing 5 tips on how to get and stay motivated.
How to Get and Stay motivated EVEN when you feel rock bottom.
These tools and tips aren’t hard; they are simple things that just by implementing into your life, can change your motivation level and how you go about changing your life for the better.
Tip #1 – You have to decide!
It’s not going to happen on its own. The changes aren’t going to miraculously show up. You have to decide and DO IT.
Tip #2 – Don’t think about what you have to take away
Don’t think about what you have to take away from your life, but even better, think about what you can ADD to your life. What can you add every day or every week that is going to help you get healthier and fit. Maybe it’s something simple as drinking water throughout the day. Or maybe you decide to add more fruits, vegetables or unprocessed, real, natural foods? Don’t think about the bad things that you have to eliminate or take away, but instead of what you can ADD.
Tip #3 – Create Vision Board
You might think like it sounds like a silly school project, but I’m not kidding, it works! It’s exactly what I did! If you have a hard time remembering when you actually felt really good about yourself or believing that you can actually do it or envision it, how it is going to happen? Get a magazine and pick out some things that are interesting to you (maybe a cute outfit, a pair of shoes, or the home of your dreams) and put it on a vision board! Putting these visions on a board that you will see on a daily basis will help keep you in the mindset of what you’re moving towards.
Tip #4 – Work with things you like in the time you have
What do I mean by this? I mean, do what you like with the time you have rather than telling yourself, “I have to work out for an hour or else I’m a failure”. You must not give yourself unrealistic goals. Maybe you don’t have an hour to work out? Maybe all you have is 15 minutes. If that’s all you have, then do some sort of movement or workout in that time. Work with what your schedule allows. If set realistic expectations and pick activities you like and build up from there, you are more likely to stick with it, especially if you’re just getting started.
Tip #5 – Just Start
Sounds so simple, but just like deciding, from there you need to start implementing! Thinking about something is not the same as starting. Every step counts.
Be Happy… Be Healthy… Be Fit!
