7 creative ways to find that motivation you need
Generating a heathy dose of motivation daily is possible and can be fun!
Motivation is the engine that should drive a healthy and fulfilling life. It gives us a little push to go a bit further each day. It provides fuel to get out of bed each morning.
Contrary to popular belief, we are not born with a set amount of motivation. Some people are more self-motivated than others but does not mean we cannot operate like they do. Like willpower, it is something that needs to be replenished.
At what frequency? That would depend. It is easier to find motivation on the good days, than when things are going peachy!
It is harder to find it after a long day at work, meeting deadlines and when you have to head to that dreaded high intensity fitness class.
Motivation, unlike, inner drive, can be and should be manufactured. We can trick our brains to find that extra inch of energy. We can create extrinsic motivation.
People often say that motivation does not last. Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily. — Zig Ziglar
