The action itself. While it may be difficult to get going once you start the action, be it cook wash clothes etc. It is also good to maintain a clear head on the long term goal, it helps to keep things in perspective when demotivated to do the little things.
For me, the motivation lies in knowing that I’m investing into my day. How I start my mornings, sets the tone for that day. Then there are other little things. Like I care about natural vitamins, because they make me feel good on the inside and look good on the outside.
I keep some boiled eggs and avacado ready to grab in the morning if I’m not feeling the whole cooking thing. Other than that, adding some greens like spinach to your eggs and some sage seasoning if they are scrambled gives it a different thing. As well as salsa. You gotta change it up or you’ll get tired of eggs real quick. If you like fried ..add a meat and some 100 percent whole wheat bread make a sandwich. It’s so good when the yolk pours into the bread. Add a little cheese. The most calories or carbs they say we should add is in the morning. So make it exciting
Hey there! I started with an easier breakfast because I’m not a morning eater. Now I have a wide variety of things that I can eat in the AM.
Try figuring out ways you like to prepare your eggs. There’s more than one way to eat them! That way it creates some variety. Breakfast should be something you look forward to, not something that feels like a chore.
To avoid taking time away from your morning, you could set up the ingredients and the kitchen tools or even prepare some food the night before: maybe you have more motivation at the end of the day than right after waking up. In the evening you could squeeze the oranges and boil or scramble the eggs and then put everything in the fridge; the next morning, you stir the juice and heat the eggs up.
If the taste don’t motivate you, try prepare your breakfast the evening before. The orange juice will be just as tasty but the cooked eggs will be cold. At least you won’t have to motivate you to do this in the morning :) I have timed my eggs so with my stove, it takes exactly 11 minutes from turning on the heat to that my eggs are ready. During these 11 minutes I turn on my coffee maker, I can do my make up, do some stretching or prepare something else. You’ll have to find your thing that suits you. Maybe it is enough for you to prepare by leaving the oranges on display in the kitchen and put some eggs in water on the stove. All you have to do in the morning then is turning on the heat and make the juice. Maybe you can make the juice the night before and cook eggs in the morning. You’ll have to do you. Good luck!
Thinking about my future health and the benefits that I’ll reap in the long run is what will motivate me to have a good breakfast every day.
If you can, buy some interesting equipment, like colourful kitchenware that you feel excited to use in the morning. Or watch some online recipes that you want to try, and feel excited about it. Think about it and prepare yourself mentally the night before... if you have a partner or someone to share it with, discuss with them before and plan for it. Divide the tasks for the companionship and binding to give it a positive spin.
I know what it’s like to need to be a self starter, but have difficulty getting started. Until I get these new habits “ingrained” or set, I’m going to pre cook eggs the night before, and drink bottled juice. Then get really good at it!!
