If you fall off the wagon, how do you get motivated to start back up?

I remind myself that everything we do is a journey and a practice. Setbacks are bound to happen, natural, and indeed a part of the process. We cannot appreciate our progress without these challenges. With the above in mind, I will Simply try the simplest of guided meditations I can find. I remind myself that Even 30 seconds is good. And slowly it allows me to get back to my bonafide practice.

When I miss a habit I feel bad and try to think of ways to prevent that from happening again. I missed doing exercise for one day, the next day I woke up earlier and did a quick 15 minute work out. Sometimes life gets in the way and I know I can’t workout every morning, so I try to include it in the afternoon or evening. If not I forgive myself and do better.

I try to look at it like a journey and not a destination. If I wander off the path, I’m still better off than when I started. I just get back on and keep going. Look at what you may have learned about yourself when you wandered, learn from it and move on

I think about why I needed to start riding the wagon in the first place. Knowing that I need to change for the better helps me get back on track since doing the thing helps me feel like myself again.

The best means of reigniting my motivation is to look back at the progress I made before I fell. This means that, firstly, keeping track of your goals, progress and wins has two powerful aspects, 1 - it helps keep you motivated and 2, it helps you jump back on the wagon if you fall. It’s important to keep notes of how you’re feeling when you tracking, these serve as triggers to get you back on the wagon.

It is better to be on than off always. If you don’t think that you should change your mindset.I gave up drinking 4 months ago. It has been hard - I was I think addicted- now - my life is more mine without an addiction. The freedom to say yes or no to elements of our life within our control - sleep/ excercise/ suger is the only real one we have - embrace it !!!

I forgive myself for not being perfect, and I try again the next day. I remind myself that I shouldn’t break promises to myself because I wouldn’t do that to other people I care about.

I remember and write down why I started the journey to begin with. Helps to have it writen down somewhere you can see and read daily.

When i fell off the wagon was the time i got sick from my allergies. Eyes were red, got the cold, nose dripping 24/7. So after that I knew I had to start back again. And i figured out, that I’ve always started right back where I fell off, so now I tried to start back small again. Restarted the current journey and am trying to get back on track. It’s still not the best, but hopefully I’m getting there...

You start admitting why you are slacking, remove the parts where u are holding up too much expectation of urself. Then, start a task by doing it for 3...5...9..so minutes incrementing a little to ur capacity everyday. Allow yourself to flow!
