The number one setback with diet and exercise is losing motivation. A loss of motivation can come from a number of things. It can be due to not seeing results, a hectic lifestyle is getting in the way, things you are doing are not making you excited or keeping you interested, and more. Well, if you are experiencing a loss of motivation with dieting and exercising, then I have some good news for you today! In this article you're going to find out the one simple motivation rule you always need to take into consideration... and from there... you will stop losing motivation no matter what!
Listen, I'm going to get straight to the point... because if you are reading this article right now, this tells me that you are frustrated and you want to just get back on track with losing weight and improving your overall health. Am I right? Good! Because that's a good way to feel! So, without further ado...
The greatest motivational rule ever to stop losing motivation with keeping yourself getting results with weight loss and fat loss is to never put yourself in a position to make excuses!
That's right... that's all it comes down to!
Think about it. You go on a diet or you start exercising without taking into consideration all the possible roadblocks that could cause you to get frustrated or lazy. Because of this, you will be well on your way to making excuses with sticking to your plan... and this ultimately will cause your motivational levels to drop very quickly.
For example, why join a gym that is so far away from you? This will cause you to eventually start making excuses about commuting. Another example is going on a diet program that is super restrictive and wants you to eat nothing but one type of food. Doing that will cause you to start feeling deprived... and you'll ultimately start making excuses about sticking to a diet such as this.
The best thing to do is to make sure you do things that you know will not come into interference with your daily life and cause you problems. The reason why is because dieting and exercising can be hard enough as it is to stay consistent with... and when you make things more complicated... well... you'll certainly find yourself making a ton of excuses to back out of your goals.
Bottom line, getting in shape and improving your health does not have to be miserable. There are exercise programs that will keep you motivated and there are diet programs that are fun, interesting, and will certainly keep you motivated as well. So, make sure that you are doing things that you know YOU will find fun and effective... but at the same time... it will not cause you to start making excuses later on.
Awesome article!
