056 The Motivation Myth

Do you find yourself saying, “I’ve not done much because I haven’t been feeling very motivated”? It’s really common and we all do it. We can feel motivated one week and totally tired and unmotivated the next. This can lead to frustration and an on/off approach to our fitness and wellbeing. In this episode, we’re going to talk about motivation and how to create our fitness mindset for a regular, long-term fitness and wellness routine.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

- How to become a naturally motivated person

- How to practice doing things you don’t want to do until it becomes a mind muscle memory

- Nurturing a vision of what you want to achieve and what you want out of life

- How to know when to say no and protect your energy

- Don’t expect things to happen without a bit of discomfort

- Accept that doing something leads to motivation and momentum, rather than the other way around

We need to stop waiting for the right time and the right conditions - we just need to get on and do it. Doing creates motivation, creates habits, and builds your mind muscle so that next time you’re not feeling motivated you’re more likely to do it. And each time you do that, your mind muscle becomes stronger.
