It's time to take charge of your life.<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Troy P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I make goals. I need a challenge. I set rewards for my self. I like apprearing amazing to other people. I like being reliable a team player. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Barry P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019m not always motivated and positive, and I\u2019m not sure that anyone really can be in every situation. I\u2019ve found a few things that help:<\/p>\n<p>1. Strengthening the foundation. This means keeping a healthy routine &#8211; exercise, diet, to-do lists, meditation, sleep. Paying close attention to why you are tired or hungry or agitated and doing something logical about it so that you feel well. <\/p>\n<p>2. Doing more things that I enjoy, reducing the things I don\u2019t. Outsourcing as many of difficult, overwhelming tasks &#8211; cleaning, yard work, laundry, meals, etc. &#8211; as I can. Optimizing to spend as much time with my kids as possible. <\/p>\n<p>3. Being accepting and forgiving of myself, and tweaking plans when they don\u2019t quite work. Understanding that no one is a machine that can endlessly execute toward a goal. Expecting big obstacles. Expecting constant failure in little bits and pieces. <\/p>\n<p>4. Finding unique (and better) ways to accomplish your goals. For me these ways are often rooted in technology, which is a reason I\u2019ve taken to this app. Just because everyone else says \u201cthe right way\u201d to exercise is to get a gym membership, or play team sports, or go running, doesn\u2019t mean that\u2019s the right way for you. <\/p>\n<p>5. Getting advice. Sometimes it takes a third party &#8211; friend, boss, etc. &#8211; to cut through the noise. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Onard S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Its all about getting into a routine in which your mind doesn&#39;t have the time to distract you or give you negative thoughts, it is important that you identify your thoughts as either helpful or not and then move forward. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicoline P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Jag f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker komma ih\u00e5g varf\u00f6r jag startade n\u00e5got.

Sometimes I listen o music or a particular song and get in a positive mood.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">In S O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Be grateful for everything. My husband is dying from terminal cancer, so I have the choice to sit and feel sorry for myself, or focus on my blessings. Focus on what I can do -step by step- goal by goal&#8230; moment by moment. There is always something to be grateful for. Gratefulness is positivity!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gertrude E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Motivation can come from more superficial things like buying new exercise gear or it can come from the deep internal desire to change something. Personally, I am often motivated to please others so it is helpful for me to have a coach, teacher or friend that I am staying accountable to (or an app in this case) \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Margie U.
