How To Totally Wreck Your Motivation By Not Doing This One Thing
What is it???
I’ll get to that in a mojo.
Firstly, I’ll tell you a short story about what I’ve recently learnt about myself, something that everyone goes through in their lives.
I’m a big believer in hard work! Without it, success is a long way from your reach.
When I left college I became a qualified Physical Trainer and joined a saturated industry where only 1 in 3 PT’s actually stayed in the industry after the first year.
My career started at the Littledown Centre working in the gym, where I quickly built up my experience and started training one to one. I then moved on to teaching classes for around 2 years. That actually came to a halt because of all the injuries I had from teaching 20 hours of classes a week. My muscles were wound up so tight from the little rest I gave my body, I got injured doing the smallest tasks on a day to day basis.
It had to stop….
So I launched Jango Health & Fitness 2 years ago. Once again I worked non-stop (like I did when I was working in the gym and teaching classes) to get to where I am today. 5:30am starts 5 days a week and 9pm (If I’m lucky) finishes and working most weekends.
My mind set in short – I must do more, am I doing enough, I need to do this etc… which if you’re a passionate business owner you’ve probably been or still are in the same place.
What I didn’t do was to reflect and look back at what I have achieved. Of course, I thought back to what I did for the business BUT I didn’t look back and give MYSELF a tap on the back and say “good job done Jango.”
I didn’t give myself enough credit so I didn’t feel much sense of achievement BECAUSE I was so focussed on where I wanted to get to….
And it was draining me mentally, which was starting to affect me physically.
Thankfully though the people I surround myself with made me think differently and I learnt a BIG lesson from it.
And I see so many people in the same situation with their own weight loss goals. They’re always chasing the next lbs, the next inch, the next size down and never taking into consideration what they have achieved so far, and they aren’t taking into consideration the LIFESTYLE changes they have made to get them their current results.
In short…
They are
You’re not to blame. We are programmed to want everything now! Fast living, target set jobs, misleading marketing …………fill in the gap………… would you agree?
People forget it’s taken months, years of poor eating and drinking to pack the weight on but they want results right now?!?!
Are you on my wave length with this??
So here’s what you’ve waiting for…
How do you Totally Wreck Your Motivation By Not Doing This One Thing
If you don’t take the time to look back and acknowledge what you have achieved, you will sap your motivation and hit a ‘brick wall’ and jack it all in.
Until you feel bad enough to start it all over again and repeat the cycle.
So look back and be proud of what you’ve achieved to get to where you are now
Be proud of the way you are now because you have made change in your life to get your current results!
Take a deep breath in and feel the achievement within yourself so you never lose your motivation to carry on with your goals and dreams!
Now sit down, grab a Tulsi tea and do this now
