This blog is all about finding motivation when you just don't want to workout anymore. I would be biased if i say that motivation is always very high everyday in the the morning when you get up it's like you are ready to take on the world. Unfortunately motivation is something that sometimes come and sometimes leave but you have to bring it back. The following checklist will help you get that required motivation back on track.
1) Find a reason why?
Ask your self why are you going to the gym? Why are you working out? What is your motivation behind that? Find a reason why for example a reason could be that working out every single day brings joy to your life, it makes you feel happy, it makes you have a better day, you feel good inside out after working out.
2) Short term and Long term goals.
Incorporating only short term goals will not workout for example you had to lose a specific amount of weight in a specific time and you did it and then you go back to eating unhealthy. Have a long term approach as to where you see yourself in your 30's or 40's or 50's or even 60's and allign your short term goals with this long term goal to make a proper healthy lifestyle.
3) Find your inspiration.
Ask yourself who motivates you to go to the gym? Is it a friend or a family member? Easy thing to do is put the picture of your inspiration as your wallpaper on your phone because then you are going to see your motivation and inspiration every single day.
4) Create a plan and just do it.
You need to have a plan and schedule, basically something to stick to. It basically gives you something to look forward to. There will be times when you are not able to follow the schedule for example you were stuck in the traffic and now you are tired and you thinking of missing the workout session but leave and throw the emotions outside the window and just do it. Think about the happiness you will feel afterwards.
5) Reward yourself.
Now that you know that you have worked hard, you have killed it, you lost weight, you have gained muscle, whatever your goal maybe, go gift yourself something. Reward yourself for the amazing progress that you have made so that it feels like less of a chore and more like happiness.
