Motivation Hack...

Today we have one of our favorite assignments for you … it’s to set a goal bucket list!

Not a forever bucket list, but one for the rest of this year.

Doing this will help you SKYROCKET your motivation... 

Because your brain is hardwired to like new, fun, and different things.

When you try something new – or take up a new challenge – it fires up the “feel good” part of your brain.

This is a pretty nifty hack to keep your motivation levels high.

Here it is: factor “novelty” into your goal equation! 

When you do this, it can keep you moving forward and excited about continuing with your goals and healthy habits.

Here are a few ideas of what we're talking about: 

  • Try hiking if you’ve never done it before – and if you have, what new trail(s) can you conquer?
  • Do a recipe challenge where you cook 2-3 new meals (from scratch) every week.
  • Learn to swim, golf, ski, bodyboard, or how to play tennis
  • Be able to hold a plank for 2 minutes
  • Meditating every day for one month and journal your progress
  • Set a daily activity goal for a week or month, and use your fitness tracker to chart your success
  • Go on an active date every week: bowling, indoor ice skating, geocaching, bowling, even ax throwing!

The list of ideas is endless! 

The whole point is to try NEW, FUN things that support a healthy lifestyle.

Like being able to walk a 5K, which we guide you through in our latest free resource, the 8-Week Get Moving 5K Walking Plan, which you can get here.

This is just one thing we work on with our clients – helping them create meaningful goals … and having fun making them a reality!

Committed to your success,

Kim and the Fab Fit Team
