About a month ago, I started working out with a trainer, set some goals for myself and started exercising a lot. I recently found out that I didn't meet one of my goals, felt devastated and started to sabotage myself. I think the life lesson for me here is that I have to learn to live my life for myself, no one else. While I think it is great to have goals, I have to set them for me and when I set them this time, I was setting them with the trainer, and in a way I was trying to please him. I find that working with a trainer is awesome, but I have to be responsible to myself and happy for me when I accomplish something, not trying to please anyone else. I used to try to lose weight because my family wanted me to do but this time I am doing it for me.
I need motivation though- what helps you with motivation?
