Motivation doesn\u2019t happen to us.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the bad news\u2026 the good news is that we can create our own motivation through our behaviors. How do you get started? Your reasons to change need to be greater than reasons to stay the same. Start by taking small steps consistently. Focus on what you can do now vs what is lacking. Explore what you truly love instead of forcing yourself into someone else\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your perspective on what is progress.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We put too much emphasis on big defining moments and underestimate the value of daily minute improvements. Progress comes from the seemingly minute day to day decisions. Years from now the benefit of good habits and cost of bad habits is realized. Choose goals that are realistic for you now and set SMART goals each week to keep you moving forward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a better system to achieve your goals.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The problem isn\u2019t you, it\u2019s your system! When we develop a system (a routine, way of going about a task), those daily habits that we want to engage in are put on \u201cautopilot\u201d! Know that your system will fail from time to time and use that as a learning opportunity. Focus on repetition, not perfection as continuous refining of your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
