Next March, I’ll have been in the Fitness Industry for 20 years.

This blows my mind.

Many things have changed over that time frame.

And many things have stayed exactly the same.

For all that time, the number one thing people tell me they struggle with is…………..

Motivation.

There may be other factors there too, but that’s mentioned more than anything else and always has been.

Which I get.

Ultimately, the main reason we don’t do anything sufficiently frequently over time is that we don’t feel sufficiently motivated to do it.

If we did, we would’ve done it.

I’ve mentioned many times that I’d quite like to be able to play a musical instrument.

But the fact that I’ve put practically zero time and effort into it shows I’m not really that bothered.

I’ve never been particularly motivated by it.

Which is fine.

Although, the irony with exercise, better eating, etc is………

We probably have all felt motivated by it at some point in the past.

Usually when we were doing it.

We just lose that feeling.

When we stop doing it.

Because motivation is an ‘after emotion’.

It comes from the doing.

Not the waiting.

And sometimes it takes time to come when we’re doing.

But it’ll come in the end.

If we keep doing.

When we remember that (and that the body responds the same whether we’re motivated or not if we’re ‘doing’)…………

And we ‘do’ even though we’re not motivated……….

That’s the only way we ever become motivated!

Motivation as an after emotion, not a before one.
