1-2-3 for Maintaining Motivation
When you feel your motivation for healthy living begin to wane, there are three steps you can take to avoid going off course:
- First, make a list of all the reasons that you began this journey in the first place (or, if you’ve already done this, pull out your list to review).
- Next, touch base with your support network, whether it’s a real-life friend, your favorite online discussion group, or your Health Coach.
- Finally, take stock of everything you’ve accomplished so far – the good eating habits you’ve established and the increased fitness levels that you’ve achieved.
When you take the time to acknowledge how far you’ve come, and remind yourself of why you want to keep going, your commitment to lifestyle change will be renewed.
