Lack of Motivation, what do you do?

  • Lack of motivation can only be beaten with mind games for me. I have to self-talk and self-argue and look at things from different angles ("You'll be mad at yourself tomorrow", "Even though you feel like giving up now, you'll be mad you did tomorrow", etc). I have to just have to remind myself why I'm trying so hard.
  • I like walking outside, I go a different way and just try and walk about a mile or so, then I have to keep going so I can get back home...lol
    Sometimes just getting started is the hard part, if I say I'll just take the dog for a little walk, once I get going it's much easier.

    I didn't do any walking or hiking last weekend and felt like such a slug after that it motivated me to get back to it this week. It's true your body gets used to exercising and is looking for that release.

    Also, don't forget to stretch, if you're getting tight or sore that could hold you back from doing more as well.

    Some great ideas here
    thanks
