Everyone wants to get in shape, right? The thing is, most people FAIL from loss of motivation. Here are FIVE motivational secrets to get you on track:
Develop a deep desire to change.
“Remember, we can never forget that everything we do, we do either out of our need to avoid pain or out desire to gain pleasure, and if we associate enough pain to anything, we'll change.”
-Anthony Robbins
Being surrounded by unhealthy people and constantly being bombarded by advertisements that inadvertently encourage an inactive lifestyle can have a massive effect on what we can accomplish; not only in regards to fitness, but to every aspect of our life. In order to overcome this, we have to do the following:
- Decide what you really want and what's preventing you from having it now
- Get leverage: Associate massive pain to not changing now and massive pleasure to the experience of changing now!
- Replace bad habits.
Have a friend workout along with you.
“You can't soar with eagles if you're hanging around turkeys.”
-Craig Ballantyne
Getting up out of the bed early in the morning for work is hard enough. Getting up to go exercise is beyond painful. If you're having trouble getting motivated enough to go workout then an obvious solution would be to find some social support. Put yourself in the right training environment and hang around other achievers. Here are a few options that can help you out:
- Invest in a personal trainer
- Workout with a friend who has the same goals as you
- Join some type of fitness class. (Group training will get you the best results)
- Have your family keep you accountable.
Invest in a personal trainer
This kinda ties in with the above tips. Investing in a personal trainer could be one of the most beneficial things that you could do to further your success in accomplishing your fitness goals. A trainer is there, not to just train you, but to coach you i.e. encourage, motivate, offer expert knowledge, and hold you accountable.
Write down your goals and then work backwards.
Self-explanatory right? Here's what you do. Write down what you want. Personally, I don't believe in magic, but something freakish occurs when you physically write down the things in life you want. This is one of the most powerful secrets to getting what you want. By writing down EXACTLY what you want and then developing specific actions to achieve them, you will put your life in overdrive.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Unfortunately a lot of people aren't willing to get out of their comfort zone… and they pay for it every day… if you're just willing to get out there and hit it hard, you'll trip out on what can come of it… life rewards people who act in spite of their fears and insecurities.
There you have it. 5 things that you can do right now to boss up and take control of your fitness goals. If you really want it, take action.
Cheers!
