One of the most thought changing ideas I heard about motivation came from PT extraordinaire, Michelle Bridges. When it comes to working out & training, Michelle says that motivation is crap. There are days you'll be motivated & others when you won't. Training is not optional. Just like you get up each day & brush your teeth, you get up & you train. So if you sat around waiting for motivation, you might only work out twice a year (and have really bad breath)!
Hearing this from Michelle was a turning point for me. What drives me are my goals. My goal is to be fit and healthy. If I wait around for the motivation to be fit and healthy, I'll never get there. So I get up everyday and I put in the effort.
And while I like a good motivational quote or poster, instead of using it to drive me, I use it to remind me my goals are worthwhile and to keep on keeping on.
What drives you?
