You’re not alone if you don’t feel like working out.
But DO NOT WAIT FOR MOTIVATION.
Just START.
Do your warm up and if there’s no gas in the tank, pack it in for another day.
Maybe your body needs a bit more rest and you can try again tomorrow.
But, more often than not, you’ll feel better and finish your workout.
Motivation comes from DOING, not from anything magical.
If you wait for ‘motivation’, you’ll wait a LONG time.
Are you motivated to brush your teeth? Probably not. Do you still brush your teeth? Probably, or at least I hope so.
Motivation is fickle. If you’re motivated, run with it, enjoy it. But also know that it won’t last.
And when it’s running low, there’s NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. Lack of motivation happens to even the MOST successful people in all walks of life.
The secret to their continued success is to take action, even when they don’t feel like it.
There is ONE caveat to this issue that does help with motivation, and that is ACCOUNTABILITY. If you know someone is depending on you to do something, you’re much more ‘motivated’ to complete whatever the task is.
If you need ‘motivation via accountability’, I’m your girl.
