15. Climbing Unmotivation Mountain

I’m often asked how do I stay motivated. Like it’s this magic secret, trick, or pill. Umm—-nooo. I like to think of lack of motivation as The Unmotivated Mountain...and guess whose battle it is to get up the mountain??? YOURS, duh. A coach can’t make you do anything—they can simply keep you accountable and lead you through YOUR goals. So here’s a tip: When you’re feeling unmotivated—ya gotta put incentive at the top of The Unmotivated Mountain. A smoothie was at the end of my climb today. So about The Unmotivated Mountain.... It’s that feeling when you don’t wanna, but ya gotta. It’s a bee to climb and it’s difficult ascend does NOT discriminate...these past two days—GIRRRL. There are days when you WON’T feel like working out. I remember coming home from 12h shifts and being comatose, but working out anyway. There will be days when you WON’T want to go to work. In nursing, I’d drive to work w/ anxiety riding high, but I knew I was still EXPECTED. Being your own boss part time or full time is HARD. There’s nobody to write you up for being a no show. Ya gotta go to battle with yourself. Ya gotta figure out what it’s going to take to push you through. Some days its vision. Some days it’s purpose. Some days it’s strategically placing Juiceland at the end of a 5K. Whatever it is—you decide to climb The Unmotivated Mountain and know you’ll be better for it. XO
