3 times motivation digone (and what to do about this)

Spread the love

Today I try something different.

In the last 15 years I have learned about customers that success in fitness is not just knowing what To work … It is a strategy when things inevitably become difficult.

Where are the habits usually fall apart? Why is motivation interfering? And what can we actually do about that?

Behind the scene, I built a “coaching tool” that mapped it all. (In the current form there are 7 big challenges, 22 basic causes and over 50 tactics I use with clients to help them stay on their way.)

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

I recorded 15-minute video walk through these ideas. You can watch it on youtubeOr treat it like a short podcast while driving, cooking or folding laundry.

And if you prefer a version of a fast hit, here’s a climax:

DIP # 1: initial push

If you struggle to start with a fitness plan or tell yourself: “I can’t seem to not motivate,” this is for you.

While this looks like a problem of motivation, often covers a resources Problem.

If you are already super stressed, busy and drink a ton on a plate, it is really difficult to add fitness at the top of everything.

Here are three tactics to try out:

  • Why: Connect your goals to your basic values ​​by asking “why” the change is important to you repeatedly. It will not directly deal with the problem of resources in themselves, but it can be helpful to restore decisions on where your time and energy focus.
  • Templition Bundling: Pair something challenging with something pleasant.
  • Upgrade your bat: Make small changes in your environment to promote the desired behavior.

DIP # 2: All-or nothing

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

We often put a lot of pressure on yourself to do everything perfectly immediately. Add to this to our tendency to put our blinds and try just “push” and we set up to repeat this form. And over. And over.

Here are two tactics to try out:

  • Include dial mode: There is no “normal” day. So let’s plan for it!
  • Set accumulation goal: Instead of building a perfect string, instead focus on accumulation practice.

DIP # 3: Ambiguous results

If you have been consistent for a while but you feel like you haven’t noticed any major changes yet, it can be really hard to stay motivated!

This is one of the reasons why we found to be able to visualize your progress over time is so important.

Here are two tactics to try out:

  • Minimize, reduce: Laser in everyday habits and exercises and collect data. Then every 2-6 weeks, step back and evaluate your progress. It helps you avoid constant comparisons, while the corrections of courses are still made in a timely manner.
  • Advance agreement: Ask yourself: How did the advancement of my training and habits look like in the last 4-6 weeks? If things are standing, think about one little setting, you can make to go back to return. This could look like adding several reps to your exercises, walking a break during the day or leveling up to the next Nerd Fitness Live Food!

It’s Gist – But video capped deeper into each details.

I would like to hear from you: Do you like this format? More breaking up big boards on big ideas can you come back? Just hit the answer and let me know. -Matt
