Momentum > Motivation: why motivation is NOT the key to weight loss or reaching health goals
Cassandra Padgett
Motivation waxes and wanes (it’s basically a FEELING…. it’s normal to not always feel motivated, just like it’s normal to not always feel happy)… so if you’re waiting to feel motivated or stay motivated, you may be waiting quite a while!
What’s an alternative? Take action and build MOMENTUM with quick wins! I like to have my clients focus on quick wins for the beginning of the DAY and the beginning of the WEEK.
Think of these quick wins as a domino… they build on each other and lead to results much quicker than waiting around to feel motivated.
Examples of quick wins in the morning:
make bed
plan meals for the day
fill water bottles
prep snack ahead of time
lay out workout clothes
Examples of quick wins early in the week:
workout on Monday!
meal plan for the week
make grocery list/order grocery pick up
plan workouts for the week
schedule self-care appointments I.e. medical, dental, therapy, etc. (aka knock something off the to-do list that will benefit your future self!)
