How to stay motivated?

Whether you’ve been training for 10yrs or if have just started your
fitness journey, it’s difficult to stay motivated when you aren’t seeing the results you expected, at the exact time you expected them to happen. How do you keep going when you have no promise of success?
Answer. You won’t.

You need to set clear, realistic goals, frequently.  Grinding through those squats, running those last few kms or putting that doughnut away will have no meaning otherwise. What’s the ‘Why’? To achieve things?  To prove to yourself you are getting stronger,
fitter, faster or look better?
Quite often people are achieving what they initially set out to do but
don’t acknowledge the results because:
a) they haven’t set clear goals (The Top 5 Reasons Why You’re Not Reaching Your Goals) and
b) can’t measure them BECAUSE they didn’t set them!

Set short and long term goals.
Short term goals will ensure you don’t get bored and lose sight of the
bigger picture. Long term goals will be achieved via the numerous short
term goals!
How great would it feel to be constantly succeeding? It will feel great enough that you will want to keep pushing hard, showing up to every session and sticking to
your nutrition plan.

Surround yourself with like minded people and avoid negativity.
A lot of people don’t like to see others succeed. Once you start
achieving these amazing results you will find haters will try to drag you
down. Stick alongside your buddies who support you and those who can
keep you positive.

Find the good in everything you do.
Had a bad day lifting? Legs felt heavy during your run? Remind yourself
of the last great session you had and acknowledge you simply had a bad
day, like everyone does!
Gained one extra rep, swam one extra lap?! Congratulations! That is an
achievement and you should be so proud! All the small achievements add up
to becoming great.
