Motivation Killers

It's important to stay motivated on your daily journey to a healthier you. With that in mind, you need to recognize what your motivation killers are...and avoid them!!

For me, depression and discouragement are motivation deflaters. When I am in an exacerbation, it's hard to even breathe some days. So it's even more important to do something - take the dog for a walk, for instance. A 30 minute walk is like taking an antidepressant. Lower your goal if you have to - maybe you can't run 5 miles today, but do something. Yoga. A video. Do for a walk. A swim. Just do something. 

Discouragement is similar. When you feel like nothing is changing, what's the point, etc., it's even more important to do something healthy for you. 

Unhealthy food can throw you off in more than one way - eating it can make you defeated, and the crappy food will make you feel like crap, especially if you've been eating healthy.  Don't stay on the junk food train - stop! You fell off the wagon. Get back on. 

The main point is to keep moving forward. Remember where you came from, and keep in mind where you are going. A life feeling strong, healthy, and vibrant. 

Make your goal about taking care of yourself lovingly by eating healthy and exercising, not a weight or a size. 

And remember, tomorrow is a new day. 

Don't give up.
