These principles are applicable to any area of your life that you want to improve, not just fitness.
It's not supposed to be easy.
But, it's made easier when you focus on what you can control right now. You can't fully control how quickly you lose weight or how quickly you develop healthier habits. Or... how quickly you improve your relationship with food.
But you CAN control what you do today.
When you're feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, take a step back and remind yourself that you are only responsible for the actions you take today.
Imperfect action beats inaction.
Something beats nothing, every time.
A 15-min walk beats skipping your your workout.
One healthy meal beats eating crap all day.
One hour of study beats winging it on test day.
Doing something will always move you forward, doing nothing keeps you stuck in the same place.
Don't underestimate this principle.
Motivation starts with action.
You'll have days when the last thing you wanna do is plan your meals and work out.
I have those days too... all the time. 😅
But, I'll force myself to make something happen no matter what. I know that motivation comes from taking action, and the more action I take, the more motivated I'll feel.
Motivation is fickle, but it's also tameable.
So take action — even if it's small — and watch how your motivation changes for the better!
