Have you lost your motivation to eat healthy and crush that weight lose goal?
You are not alone. It doesn't mean it's never going to work for you either!
Motivation comes and goes. I think we often believe the people that reach their weight lose goal has some sort of super power. What if it has very little to do with motivation and so much more to do with the practice of discipline?
It's easy to stay on your healthy eating plan when you have motivation pumping through your veins, but it's a whole other animal when you stay on that plan when you motivation left you 5 Monday's ago.
Here are some tips to increase your motivation!
1. Set a smaller goal. We often set a big lofty goal, which is great but can seem so unattainable. Set a goal you can achieve in a week. Shoot, set a goal you can achieve in 24 hours. Simple action steps that are done with excellence will increase your motivation as you give your best effort. We often lose motivation when we don't follow the plan.
2. Top it off with a reward. Maybe a nice bath, do your nails, or watch your favorite show. Just pick something you can look forward to. Thinking about what the reward will be will increase your motivation. Knowing you will get a fun treat also gives you something to look forward to.
3. Find some accountability. When you surround yourself with people that are heading in the same direction it can help boost your motivation. Iron sharpens iron and we need each other to sharpen our skills of staying motivated and on plan. So go grab a friend and tell her your new smaller goal and what your reward is going to be once you achieve it. If you need a community of people heading towards weight loss join us here.
