ConfidenceKini Body Tip of the Day: For
the rest of the challenge, I’ll be answering your questions in the tip
of the day section, so be sure to leave any question you have in the comments
section below or on my social media posts!

 
Question: Why is it that my motivation starts off sky-high when starting a program, then I find it harder and harder to go to the gym? What can I do to motivate myself?

Answer: For starters, this is normal. It’s the typical ebb and flow of life. Whether its a new workout plan, a new job, or a new home project, at the beginning, the motivation to take on something new comes naturally. Then, it slowly fades, but the trick is to maintain the dedication to “get it done.” You see…emotions and actions are highly connection. Most of us think that the emotion makes the action (ie: you need to first be motivated to then workout), but we can actually “trick” ourselves in the opposite way. To use an unrelated example, the next time you’re feeling a bit down, force yourself to smile and force yourself to say, “I am happy. I have so much joy in my life. There’s so much to be thankful for.” Very quickly, you’ll end up genuinely feeling happy. Going back to motivation for the gym, having the habit of going to the gym even when you’re not really feeling it will drum up the natural passion you have for healthy living so that the next day, it will come more easily.
