You can use code CODE at checkout for 15% off the 8-week plan, only for today.
Apart from that, I wanted to share something I just realized recently.
Realizing the Importance of Motivation
It’s about how I generate motivation when it’s just not there.
For the longest time, I thought motivation was the only way to do things.
When I didn’t feel motivated, I just laid in bed until it found me.
After a while, I realized there is a way to create motivation out of the blue.
Creating Motivation Out of the Blue
It started when I was waking up, and my body just didn’t want to.
I had to work out that day and follow a diet, but all my body wanted was to lay in bed and eat some junk food.
And you know what? I did it! But after a while, I felt HORRIBLE.
I looked back and realized I did nothing, wasting an entire day. That’s when it hit me.
I thought about what would’ve happened if I had woken up to work out.
What had I won and lost? Well, I would’ve lost one movie and a whole tub of ice cream.
That’s it! What would I have won? Well…
Another day of being 1% better, feeling healthy, and energized.
My mental health would’ve improved with my body, feeling beautiful and powerful.
All of that for only 1-2 hours of my day.
Hours I spent looking at the fridge trying to figure out what to eat, looking at pictures on my phone, or watching a movie I didn’t even like.
I would’ve still been able to do everything I wanted.
But with a lot more energy and peace of mind.
Knowing that I already did something worthwhile that day.
Reflecting on the Benefits of Staying Motivated
So, nowadays, when my alarm goes off and my body is yelling to stay in bed, I think about how I would feel an hour, a day, even a year from now.
And I remember that feeling of my conscience bashing me for not doing anything the whole day.
I hate that feeling, so I always wake up, and I realize the hardest part is actually waking up.
Once you do something, your day feels millions of times better.
And that way, when motivation hasn’t struck, I generate it out of the blue.
Try this the next time you feel unmotivated and let me know what happens.
Love,
