We often start a fitness journey with a number in mind—a weight, a dress size, a pant size. But what happens when that number doesn’t change fast enough? We get discouraged. The secret to lasting motivation is to shift your focus from aesthetic goals to feel-good goals.
Find Your Deeper “Why”:
Ask yourself: How do I want to feel because of my workouts?
- Do you want to have more energy to play with your kids?
- Do you want to feel strong and capable carrying groceries?
- Do you want to clear your mind after a stressful day?
- Do you want to improve your sleep?
When your “why” is tied to how you feel, every workout becomes a success. You showed up? Success! You have more energy? Huge win! This positive reinforcement creates a sustainable cycle that keeps you coming back, far beyond any number on a scale.
