How to Get Motivated; Motivation Mojo Lesson 2
This is Part 2 in a series of 3 blogs to help you get motivated this year. Motivation is complicated and difficult, if you think it is. And right there is the foundation for lesson two; observing your thoughts. If you missed Lesson 1, you can read it HERE.
Getting motivated started in our body (Lesson 1) and with lesson two, we’re back in our minds but only for the sake of watching our thoughts.
Watching our thoughts (like a hawk!) is how we’ll take stock of the thoughts and beliefs that serve our goals, and the ones that don’t. Observing our thoughts is how we get to make a choice to hold on to them, or choose other, more helpful ones. This kind of awareness is the game-changing kind; the awareness that allows you to see what you’ve been doing to sabotage your own motivation.
You’re tired, you can just do it tomorrow, I think. And I end up plopping myself on the bed with the remote and some Netflix instead of getting my shoes laced up and out for a run. Exercise is an important part of one of my goals this year; to rock my fifty-year-old body in a way I’ve never done before.
