Motivation comes from within you. No one can force you to do anything you truly don’t want to do, and because of this factor; no matter how much someone tries to get you to do something it has to be up to you to make the choice to do it. The help of others can get you motivated and help you stay focused; in addition to moving in the right direction with anything in life. The power of having an “exercise buddy” or friends to help you with any goals you have in life is great. This increases the accountability factor because now you have someone or a group of people that will keep you on your toes and vice versa. When there are times where you don’t feel motivated to work out, you have someone who can say come on “let’s do it”. In the end, it will help you get and stay motivated. Discovering your relevance…your purpose in this life and that key aspect to focus on is what will get you to begin thinking about the future, as opposed to only thinking about the here and now. There is more to life than just what is in front of you. Thinking about and only acting for the present is great, but don’t you want to be able to enjoy it for years to come? This next woman does not have to workout and could easily find reasons to not be motivated, but doesn’t. She draws her motivation from things deep within her and the desire to always be better is what moves her. Natasha Quarles, Ultrasound Technician. Motivation is defined as the state or condition of being motivated. What motivates Natasha is the desire to excel. Her motivation for working out is to excel at keeping herself healthy. She says, “I enjoy working out because it gives me a lot of energy and I love the way my body looks after a good work out.” Who doesn’t want to look great all the time and have a mental state that’s always positive, free and clear? “I work out because I love the way my clothes look on me. I love the wardrobe I have now. I like to shop, but I’d rather save money by keeping my body tight the way it is now and not have to go out and continuously buy new clothing due to weight gain. ” Too many of us don’t even realize how many motivating things that we have in our lives that we overlook. In reality it could be something very small that you could focus on and have it be a major driving force, enabling you to do anything you want in life. Natasha has her own set of motivating factors that prevent her from falling victim to this excuse. “Being able to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and like the way I feel and look is enough to keep me from using this excuse. I weigh my options and the benefits are just greater than the excuse itself, therefore it’s not an excuse for me.” Anything is attainable as long as you try. So what can you do to keep yourself motivated? First, you need to figure out what you would like to do and then make a plan to do so. Being aware of what you can handle can help you to stay motivated and get to where you want to be.
