Commitment vs Motivation.
To see results, it doesn’t happen overnight. Outstanding results doesn’t come from mediocre effort. You have to put in the hard work to see the fruits of your labor. You must commit to your goals and yourself.
When I first started running, there were weeks I would slack off because I based my exercise routine on my mood. I made excuses for myself and skipped many days. I’ve realized it’s something many people struggle with, working out based on motivation.
The issue is – motivation is temporary and unpredictable. We simply can’t rely on it! If you make a commitment to yourself, that’s a promise you should try your best to keep (no matter how you feel in that moment).
On days you wake up tired or not excited, give yourself a pep talk and just do the work out! Do not let allow yourself to fall for your excuses. Not only will you feel better after but you will start making this routine a habit! A habit to show up regardless of your emotions. The best way to commit to your goals starts with planning out your schedule ahead of time and sticking to it.
Professional athletes don’t just miraculously make it on the team. I guarantee they also don’t always “feel” like putting in the work but they do. It’s dedication – a nonnegotiable!
Will you commit to your goals and show up on schedule?
