I won't lie, I have had some serious lack of motivation in this heat. Prior to the Spartan Race I was killing it in the gym at least 3 times per week because I knew if I didn't I would be destroyed by that course. Now that all I have is my own narcissism to keep me moving I find my motivation faltering. And it sucks. Lets face facts here, I would love to look in the mirror and think "Hot Damn!" but there are a million and one reasons why it gets thrown to the back of my priorities list (except of course every morning when I look into the mirror getting ready).
The fact of the matter is I am breaking my own cardinal rule when training clients, you must have something to be accountable for, to shoot for, to train towards... In short you must have a goal or your resolve will flounder. As mine is now.
For those of you struggling I dare you to try this, find a race or a charity run. Maybe join a soccer team with the goal of not missing a single game or take those kickboxing lessons you've always wanted. Pick something you've always wanted to do, or maybe something you never thought you could. Pick something and begin training for it. Don't slack. Don't make excuses. Do your best, seriously your best. I promise there is nothing that feels as good in this world as accomplishing something and knowing you put every tear, every bit of blood and sweat possible into your effort and seeing yourself surpass your expectations.
Once you accomplish your goal pick a new one. That's what I'm on the hunt for.
Any suggestions?
