Ever notice how motivation is great… until it isn’t?!
You’re fired up at the beginning of a new goal, ready to give it your all.
But then one day, that motivation just poof—disappears.
Suddenly, getting off the couch feels impossible, and your goals are the last thing you want to work on.
Well, it’s NOT because you’re lazy or undisciplined. It’s just how our brains are wired.
Motivation is meant to give us that initial burst of energy—it’s not designed to carry us forever.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need motivation to keep moving forward.
You just need a plan to future-proof it. 🔥
Here’s how:
1. Make it part of your identity.
Think of the new habits you’re building as part of who you are, not just what you do. For example, instead of trying to “go for a run,” think of yourself as a runner...
Want to work out more? “I’m the kind of person who never skips a Monday workout.”
Eat healthier? “I’m someone who fuels my body with foods that make me feel good.”
Stay hydrated? “I’m the type of person who always has a water bottle nearby.”
When you shift your belief about who you are, you naturally start making different decisions—without having to rely on motivation.
2. “5-4-3-2-1” it:
This is one of my favorite life hacks. It’s Mel Robbins’ 5-second rule. If you ever don’t feel like doing something, countdown from five—5-4-3-2-1—and then take an immediate action. That could mean getting off the couch, grabbing your gym shoes, or pulling out veggies to meal prep. This will “disrupt” any hesitation and will get you moving!
3. Set your environment up for success.
Make healthy choices the easiest choices. Things like: keeping healthy snacks at eye level in your fridge, keeping a full water bottle on your desk, packing your gym bag the night before, or placing a book next to your bed to wind down at night.
4. Reframe setbacks as learning experiences.
Setbacks don’t define you. And having one (or three) certainly doesn’t mean you’re a failure or aren’t capable of doing what it takes to hit your goal.
Winners view setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. So reflect on what happened, adjust your approach, and keep moving forward.
I know I say this all the time, but progress is about persistence, not perfection.
Make it an amazing day 🤩
