With the holiday season fast approaching, there is no time like the present to get your fitness routine in line.
You may be getting busier. There may be parties and temptations and excuses to slack on your healthy eating and workout routine.
You may even think to yourself, “I’ll just enjoy and get back to things in the New Year.”
But that only makes things harder. It only puts you behind once January hits.
It only provides you with excuses to not succeed in the future.
And it most definitely doesn’t help you create healthy habits that will last and get you through other rough, temptation-filled, busy times of year.
Instead of putting your health off to the New Year this year, why not start creating healthy habits and putting in place a program that will help you stay healthy and on-track through the holiday season?!
Below are 10 Tips To Help You Stay On-Track This Holiday Season and 2 Quick Bodyweight Workouts you can do anywhere when you are short on time or don’t feel like going to the gym.
There are many components that go into being successful, such as planning and goal setting; however, success truly boils down to one thing – CONFIDENCE.
If you aren’t confident in yourself, if you aren’t confident and believe in what you are doing, you will never succeed no matter how well laid out your plan is.
When we believe we can succeed, we WILL succeed because our attitude, our work ethic and our dedication will all mirror our confidence. And our confidence will help us get through the setbacks and plateaus.
When we aren’t confident, we don’t push ourselves as well or commit to a plan in the same way we do when we believe. We also don’t have the same drive to overcome rough patches. Without a belief in ourselves, we tend to let setbacks defeat us.
Confidence creates success just like success creates confidence.
The question is, “How do you enter the confidence and success cycle without having either?”
Right before we start a new task or goal, and even at the beginning of the project, we seem to be extremely motivated.
Every little thing we do toward our goals is exciting. Just talking about accomplishing our goals is exciting.
And for the first few days or even weeks, we are so pumped we do exactly what we should.
But then, all of the sudden, our motivation is gone.
We may have even slowly seen it fade until we simply can’t find the motivation we once had. And without motivation, it is extremely hard to push yourself forward when the going gets rough.
So how do you stay motivated when that initial motivation has worn off? How do you stay motivated even when you don’t see immediate progress or results?
How do you stay motivated when all you want to do is give up?
