Motivation Is Fleeting—But It Doesn’t Have to Be

Let’s face it: motivation is hard to hold onto. It comes and goes, often when you least expect it. But here’s the thing: you can create motivation, even when you don’t feel like it.

There are two kinds of motivation:

• External Motivation – the kind that hits you suddenly but fades quickly.
• Internal Motivation – the kind that you generate on your own, which may not feel as intense but is far more reliable.

I prefer generating my own motivation. It’s not as overwhelming as a sudden burst of inspiration, but it’s controllable. Here are three strategies that help me create motivation, even when I’m feeling uninspired.

1. Start Your Day Strong

If you want a productive, energy-filled day, it all begins with how you start your morning. If you lay in bed for even 10 minutes, making excuses, the odds of having a productive day drop significantly.

That’s why I always do something productive first thing in the morning. It could be:

• Drinking a glass of water
• Taking a quick shower
• Doing a skincare routine
• Going for a quick walk

Starting your day with a small, productive action sets the tone for a day filled with energy and momentum. It creates a mindset of action rather than passivity.

2. Remember Why You Started

Achieving a goal is often a mental battle. And tricking your brain is a powerful tool that makes reaching your goals much easier.

One way I do this is by remembering the why behind any goal I’ve set. Why did I start? Why did I stop doing certain things? Why do I want to change?

If it’s about fitness, I remind myself of times when I felt unhealthy, tired, or out of shape. Those memories bring back the uncomfortable reality I never want to experience again. It motivates me to push through challenges to change that version of myself.

3. Surround Yourself with a Support Group

Going at it alone is a major reason why so many people fail to stick to their goals. It’s hard to battle your own mind when it starts creating excuses. You need a support system.

I’m lucky to have Roy and all the amazing women in my Body By Yas community. They push me every day, reminding me why I’m working towards my goals. Being part of a group of like-minded women, all striving for a better life, gives me the motivation and accountability I need to keep going.

If you don’t have a support system, you can build one. And guess what? You can join mine! I offer an 8-week customized plan that includes:

• A tailored workout and meal plan
• A dedicated support WhatsApp group with Coach Daria
• Continuous motivation and guidance
