Make You Successful In Your Weight Loss Or Weight Gain Journey.'
101 Motivation Strategies
- Write down your goals.
- I recently started doing this on a couple different levels. Short term goals for the week. Then goals for the month and the year. I try to keep them simple yet precise.
- Create a fitness action plan.
- I keep working on one of these in my head but it gets squashed by tons of excuses. Excuses are like cow shit, they lay around and stink.
- Devise a desirable reward.
- I think living is a pretty decent reward. And I mean living on multiple levels. The physical aspect of life as well as the mental. It's time to stop simply surviving and learn how to live again.
- Set a completion date.
