Motivation, this is a biggy, as a personal trainer I am here to motivate my clients by finding the right source that works for them, but when you’re trying to find motivation for yourself this can be very difficult. This is a subject that truly requires more time than what you are going to read here, but this is a method that can work for a lot of people; hopefully you are one of them.
Everybody these days enjoys a form of media, books, T.V, movies and music, look at your life like it was one of these, lets take movies for example, a movie of your life right now, imagine how that would look, what it would be like to watch, now lets take another movie, a movie of how your life would be in a year or five if you where to make some changes, better diet, more exercise, how would that movie appear? What would you be like? How would you look? Really spend some time thinking about these two films then ask yourself which one would you rather watch?
This is a simple form of visualisation, there is a lot more to it and it takes time to get it, but once you have selected your movie this is when the really hard work starts, your going to have to do something that a lot of people don’t like doing, you need to make a decision, once you’ve made your choice, stick to it, draw your path, be flexible, but you do have to travel it, if there are problems along the way, see them as challenges, problems you have to solve, find role models, if they live a life or have a body you would like, look at what they do, fit their life model into your path.
This sounds easy, its not! Even I have had challenging moments in my training, but if you have a goal, you’ve made your decision, have a path and believe in it, you will get there.
