When striving to create change in your life, motivation often emerges as a significant challenge. Let’s explore the concept of motivation and how it influences our journey. 

Motivation is crucial when aiming for change because it drives us toward our desired outcomes. These outcomes represent future goals that we have not yet achieved, and the journey toward them involves leaving behind current habits and beliefs that keep us where we are. 

Change typically arises from a desire to avoid pain or seek pleasure. For instance, losing weight often stems from dissatisfaction with current weight or health. What we’re truly seeking is a feeling—confidence, happiness, and a sense of well-being. 

Life is full of disruptions that can impact our momentum. Vacations, unexpected events, injuries, and countless other factors can interrupt our progress from point A (where we are) to point B (our goal). These disruptions test our commitment to change. 

Motivation fluctuates. Some days, motivation comes easily, while on others, we must dig deep to keep moving forward. This is normal. When motivation wanes, it’s often because we’re focusing on the negative rather than the positive. Being self-aware and making conscious decisions helps us move in the right direction. 

Setting yourself up for success involves maintaining momentum. Imagine a cylinder that takes significant force to start rolling. Once it gains momentum, it becomes easier to push. Similarly, making lifestyle changes often involves overcoming significant challenges. Success comes from deciding that your desired changes are more important than any obstacles. This determination helps you keep pushing forward, even when faced with difficulties. 

Consistency is key. Keeping the ball rolling, even during challenging times, ensures continued progress. Motivation helps maintain this momentum and mental edge. It’s a skill you must develop to create the ultimate change you seek.

Every effort counts, and this workout can be done at home, providing a boost even when life is unpredictable. If you can, never miss a Monday at the gym. What’s crucial is taking actions that keep your momentum going, as this is your decision. 

If you’re achieving results, it’s because you’re taking the necessary actions. If not, it’s due to decisions not to act or not knowing the right actions to take. In such cases, seek the resources you need. 

So, get your ball rolling. The more focus and push you apply, the easier it becomes. You’ve got this—let’s go!
