This week we are talking motivation.

What is it? Why is it so hard to find or keep? 

Motivation is a temporary emotion. We have this false expectation that we are supposed to always be motivated. 

But that’s not reality. Reality is that motivation is a very powerful, but very very short lived emotion. 

The reason motivation is so hard to keep is because it was never meant to stay.

Motivation is what kickstarts your goal, but it is never meant to carry you through to the end of your goal. 

You’re not a failure if you lose motivation, you are human. In fact, you are finally in a place in your journey where you can develop more permanent mindsets and tools. 

So if you feel unmotivated. Good. This is where the real work of lasting change can finally start happening.

You don’t need motivation to reach your goals. You need baby steps. 

You need accumulation of small wins and 1% better. 

You need to learn to value small step, imperfect workouts, and little by little progress
