How do you keep yourself motivated?

I think of the interconnectedness of the actions I take. I want to be better for others and to be healthy so I can be more present and also to have a longevity. I also try to adjust instead of feeling defeated.

I like to think of the results I will be getting through accomplishing those habits. I know that if I don’t do it regularly, my end results will suffer

I stay motivated by celebrating my progress whether it’s completing the tasks or noticeable improvements in my health & maintaining those.

I try to think about what I want to achieve/my goal at least once a day. And I try to distract myself whenever I’m about to do something that isn’t in line with my plan.

I’ve been on a path to better myself since I was in my 20’s and different dreams and goals powered me. I still have dreams and the same sense of to get them realized as when I was 20 something, but I’m much more driven to get these done then ever before.

Everyone has different ways of motivation so the best way to motivate yourself by finding the best recipe for you for great motivation.

I keep myself motivated by remembering my “whys” - my reasons for wanting to live a healthier, more fit lifestyle. I sat down and wrote out all of my “whys” on an index card (e.g., “be able to partake in more physical activities I love,” “be able to buy cuter clothes in smaller sizes,” “increase focus and discipline,” etc.). I have a reminder set up on my phone that goes off at 6am and 6pm that LITERALLY says “remember your WHYS” - and I check in with myself, read my card and really think about each reason so that it’s never far from the surface of my thoughts. I also read the card when I am faced with a struggle (don’t want to work out... REEEEALLY want that doughnut...!). When we struggle, it’s hard to remember in that moment why we are on the journey to begin with. If we literally keep our eyes on the prize (for me, 2x daily, additional as-needed!), it’s much easier to stick with the good habits we’re working so hard on.

I think it’s several things that keep me Motivated. For starters, I like challenges and competition, while trying to learn new habits I am competing with myself first and foremost. Fear of breaking the streak I have going and making sure I am not cheating. And I guess lastly, thinking about myself first. The benefits of how this will help me and in return, me being well wil ripple effect.

I don’t really know. I sometimes try to make things into a game or listen to music while I work. Sometimes I’ll divide things into smaller steps.

I keep myself motivated by setting small goals that are just outside my reach. Sometimes I set the goal to maintain my current level. Progress not perfection.
