How do we get MOTIVATED?🫤
This is the million dollar question, isn’t it?!
We all dream of waking up one day bursting with energy and ready to tackle everything on our to-do list, but the reality?
Motivation doesn’t always strike…
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to wait for it. You can create it—and here’s how💪✨
Take Action FIRST (Yep, Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)
The best way to get motivated is to start, even if you don’t feel ready 🕒
Too often, we wait for some magical ‘motivation fairy’ to show up and inspire us, but ACTION is what actually SPARKS MOTIVATION – not the other way around.
Whether it’s a quick 10-minute workout, a short walk, or a kitchen dance session, just do something!
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It doesn’t even have to be pretty.
Just showing up for yourself is enough🌟
Make It a Habit
Consistency beats motivation every time✅
The more you show up, the more it becomes part of your routine.
Maybe it’s a morning class before the day gets busy, or a quick session while dinner cooks! When you plan it, it’s easier to stick with it.
Here’s the trick:
- Set Realistic Goals 🎯: Decide how many sessions you can realistically commit to each week. Maybe it’s three. Maybe it’s five. Make a range—everything above your minimum is a win!
- Plan Ahead 🗓️: Put your workouts in your diary like you would a dentist appointment or coffee with a friend. Showing up for your health is just as important.
Reframe Your Thinking
Instead of saying, “I have to exercise,” try saying, “I get to exercise.”  🎉
Moving your body isn’t a chore; it’s a privilege that boosts your mood, energy and health.
Even better? The effects are almost immediate:
- Feel stronger after a workout 💪
- Enjoy that sense of accomplishment 🎉
- Notice small wins, like feeling more toned or less stressed 🧘♀️
So, what’s the secret to motivation? Start before you feel ready💫
Take that first step, no matter how small, and watch your motivation grow from there.
