3 times motivational bakets (and what do you do about it)

Today I try something different today.

In the past 15 years of working with clients, I learned that success in fitness doesn’t know only about knowledge what Let’s do … it’s about strategies when things inevitably become difficult.

Where habits usually crash? Why does the motivation come with? And what can we actually bring About that?

Behind the scenes I built “training toolbars” that takes it all. (In the current form, there are 7 big challenges, 22 basic causes and over 50 tactics I use with customers to help them stay on the road.)

Today I want to zoom in just one part of that tool: Three times motivational dips and how to answer.

I recorded a 15-minute video walk of these ideas. You can watch it ​On YouTube​Or it treats him as a short podcast while driving, cooking or concluding laundry.

And if you prefer a quick hit version, here it is warm:

DIP # 1: Initial pressure

If you are struggling to start fitness plan or tell yourself, “they just can’t get motivated,” this is for you.

Although this looks like a problem of motivation, it often covers a resources The problem.

If you are already super pronounced, busy and you have a tone on your plate, it is really difficult to add fitness on top of everything else.

Here are three tactics to try out:

• Wholesome: Connect your goals to your basic values ​​by asking “why” change is important for you multiple times. It will not directly solve the problem with the resources themselves, but it can be useful to return when making decisions about where to focus your time and energy.
• ​Insection in temptation​: Pair something challenging with something pleasant.
• ​Upgrade your cave​: Do small changes in your environment to promote your desired behavior.

DIP # 2: All or nothing

If you start really strong, but fight to stay long enough to say, “I fell off the wagons, and I just couldn’t go back,” this is for you.

We often set up a lot of pressure on yourself to immediately make everything perfect right away. Add to that tendency to put your neighbors and try to just “go through” and we set us to repeat this form. And more. And more.

Here are two tactics to try:

• ​Include dialing mode​: There is no “normal” day. So let’s plan it!
• Set the goal of the accumulation: Instead of building the perfect array, focus on accumulating practice instead.

DIP # 3: Cash results

If you were consistent for some time, but you feel like you really didn’t notice any big changes, it’s really hard to stay motivated!

This is one of the reasons why we discovered that they could visualize your progress over time is so important.

Here are two tactics to try:

• Zoom, zoom out: Laser in everyday habits and exercises and collect data. Then, every 2-6 weeks, deviate and evaluate your progress. This helps you avoid constant comparisons while still making a course corrections in a timely manner.
• Progress syllable: Ask yourself: What did the progress of my exercises and habits look like in the last 4-6 weeks? If things are stagnating, think about one bit adjustment, you can make the ball roll again. It could look like adding a few reps in your exercises, move away rest during the day or straight up to the next ​Nerd Fitness Nutrition Live​Recording!
