12 Commandments For Staying Motivated
Here you will find the 12 Commandments For Staying Motivated. (The RH Martial Way.)
1. Visualize your goal you want clearly
Visualization is an important part of totally understanding what you exactly want. It’s a very powerful process and will get you off to a great start when wanting to bring more exercise into your lifestyle.
2.Rinse out those negative doubtful thoughts and replace them with more positive ones.
Don’t let the negative thoughts come into your mind; it will just stop you from achieving what you really desire to lifestyle to be like.
3. Get involved with a friend
I strongly recommend this, especially when starting out with getting in shape. Exercising with a friend is a good way to get things rolling.
4. Get some top quality coaching and support
If you really want to learn to best way to get in shape and stay like it with improving your overall lifestyle, it’s a must to seek a mentor to help you through the journey of improving your fitness.
5. Try and find more inspiration on a daily basis to uplift you
There is inspiration everywhere you go. Books, magazines, videos and articles are the content type of inspiration. But not forgetting speaking to people who may have transformed their lifestyle and bodies from where they were to where they want to be.
6. Make sure you reward yourself for your efforts
Try to reward yourself often for your progression and wellbeing. Maybe go out to the local cinema with your partner or a new item of clothing, it’s really totally up to you.
7. Make exercising more of a pleasure
I have found over the years of training and teaching that variety of exercises really helps keep things fresh new and exciting. Try and find what works for you and most of all what you enjoy doing.
8. Stick to a well developed routine structure through the week
The idea of keeping to a well structured routine would be to keep you on track throughout the weeks and you know what to expect each day. This way it is easier to keep focused too.
9. Keep a note of your progression
As from when you first made the decision to really transform your body and get in fantastic shape and right up until you are months into the lifestyle changes you need to make sure that you write things down. i.e. Weight loss, distance of walking or running, hours of exercising per week and so on.
10. Don’t Overdo it at the start
Basically don’t burn yourself out! Especially right at the start, you will find that it is terribly off putting when your body is tired and drained from doing too much at the start. I would rather you take nice gentle steps over a period of time. Start of easy and then raise the bar of difficulty as time goes on.
11. Try not to miss too many consecutive days
I find when people have longer breaks away from their usual weekly routine it is hard to get things back to normal and it effects your rhythm of progression.
12. Don’t wait any longer, just get started!
Okay, so all of the above is great and if you can take away a few good points from them and fit them into your lifestyle, brilliant. But the most important thing of all is to start now and take action. You can have all of the knowledge in the world but if you do not put it into practice now the chances are you never will. The question you need to ask yourself is what are you waiting for?
To your Success,
