This is one thing which may shock you:
Motion results in motivation
Most individuals “search for motivation”
That means they anticipate one thing to return round and inspire or nudge them alongside.
That ☝️ was undoubtedly me.
If a marriage or occasion was across the nook, I’d get “motivated” to eat salads and exercise so I might lose some weight earlier than the massive day.
To my credit score, I’d stick with it for a short while afterwards, however the motivation all the time pale and I’d find yourself regressing to my “outdated methods.”
Are you able to relate?
The reality is ACTION results in motivation, motivation does not result in motion.
This is an actual life instance to exhibit this:
The final time we moved, I postpone packing. I did not know the place to begin, so I procrastinated, which made me much more confused and anxious concerning the transfer and but I nonetheless did not do something!
I knew precisely what I needed to do and I nonetheless did not do it! I used to be ready to be “motivated.”
Finally my husband mentioned to me, “Simply put one factor in a field! ONE THING!”
And you already know what? It labored! I took motion: I put one thing in a field. Then I put one thing else in. On and on it went and I turned a packing machine!
Each motion — each packed factor — motivated me to pack extra.
DITTO FOR COOKING.
Each time I put together one meal for myself, I’m motivated to organize one other one…
Each time I make a good selection, I am motivated to “stick with it”
Success solely comes from taking motion.
Deep down you already know these phrases ring true.
Are you able to consider an instance from your personal life?
BOTTOM LINE: As a FT employee with individuals to feed, a chore checklist that by no means shrinks!, and a pesky GI sickness, I deeply perceive how difficult it may be to search out the motivation to prepare dinner, particularly after the vacations.
That is why I’m right here to encourage you and make it simpler than ever.
Beginning on Monday (Jan 8) I will be beginning a sequence known as “Make-It-Monday” with a free, easy, quick recipe. Somewhat motivation and mini problem to see when you’ll make it.
The picture hooked up to this put up is the debut recipe within the sequence: Queso’d Bowl. YUM
Why? Beginning Monday off with a do-it-yourself meal units the tone for a profitable week forward. Motion creates motivation, keep in mind?
