How do some people always appear to be motivated to get their workouts in, or motivated to keep their nutrition dialed in?
-
What’s the hack? The simple tip to get and stay motivated?
-
What you don’t see, was all of the times those people weren’t motivated. All of the times they dragged themselves to the gym when they didn’t want to.
-
All of the times they continued to write out their meals on paper for the next day or two even though they were beyond tired and wanted to go to bed.
-
What’s the secret?
-
The answer isn’t sexy. It isn’t a hack or tip you can implement.
-
The answer?
-
They do it anyway.
-
They do things when they don’t want to. Day in and day out.
-
If they don’t feel like working out, they go anyway. If they don’t want to figure out their nutrition, they do it anyway.
-
Grit. It’s called grit.
-
Motivation is not a “thing”. Motivation is not something that can be found. It’s not a song, a picture or a saying.
-
Motivation is something you create from taking action. Not just once, or twice, but consistent action. And the most important part is, taking action even when you don’t want to.
-
Because eventually what will happen is, your consistent efforts will breed success, and that success is what will get (and keep) you motivated.
-
Look, it’s super easy to do things when you want to, but that’s not where progress is made.
-
Progress is made from doing things when you don’t want to. The hard times. The times you want to say screw it. You do it anyway.
-
You grit down and get it done.
-
Hey, it’s not going to be perfect, but keep after it. Because no one has ever regretted putting in the work. Ever.
-
Remember: Consistent Effort —> Success—> Motivation.
