Why I made -discipline over motivation- a tagline for my business and my life…
I’m not going to sit here and pretend I want to workout every day, meal prep on weekends, or eat that meal prep through out the week. Someday’s I feel like I have a million things on my to do list and fitting in a workout is the last thing I have time for. Sometimes I would rather nap than workout. As a mom now it’s become even more difficult. BUT
I don’t know one person who works out consistently who hasn’t had a day where they just don’t have the motivation….
I get the question all the time, “where do you find the motivation”?
Truth is, it’s not motivation it’s discipline.
Discipline is the practice of training yourself to maintain self control and act consistently toward a goal. To stick to a schedule and put in hard work regardless of your current mood or motivation.
So next time your motivation is out the door, activate your self discipline…
Here are some tips that help me.
• Have a set time to workout. Don’t schedule appts during that time unless you absolutely have to. Don’t change that time, don’t skip that time and say you will do it later, knowing you won’t. Stay consistent with your workout time.
• Just show up. Don’t overthink it, go to your workout space, in your home or gym. Grab a dumbbell and start moving.
• Trust you will feel better after. I never regret a workout, I always come out feeling more awake, more alive and overall thinking more clearly.
• Meal prep on Sundays
• Meal prep for 3 days a week. Don’t try to over do it and cook all 5-7 days at a time. Start small and have some food ready to grab and go.
• Practice Self Discipline. On the days you don’t feel like doing it, do it any way. And the next time, and the time after that. Practice keeping yourself accountable and watch how much you grow as a person in all aspects of life.
Practice it. Preach it. Own it
Discipline > Motivation Always
