  • Monday Motion: Don’t Count On Motivation

    November 10, 2025

    “I don’t feel like it”

    “I’ll do it tomorrow”

    These thoughts and more can stop you from doing what you set out to do. Waiting to be motivated to do something would not end well.

    Motivation is a trap because it comes and goes. It’s never there when you really need it. So you end up doing the opposite of your plans.

    Hey, maybe that one song would get you going or maybe that motivational speech you like so much. The truth is these acts don’t always work and you need something more.

    That more is inside of you, it just needs to be found. That ‘WHY’ we do things has to be the driven force that pushes us forward, not motivation.

    If you still believe you need to be motivated, this can hold you back. Nothing external can get you going more than what’s inside.

    Your Goal This Week: Commit to doing something this week, even if you’re not motivated. This can be going out for a morning run, signing up to a group fitness class, or pushups after waking up. The key is not to wait for motivation, just do it no matter how hard it may seem. Remember everything you need is inside of you already.

    DON’T LOOK OUT, LOOK INSIDE!!

    Comeback tomorrow on some tips to get you going when motivation is not there.

    That’s it for Monday Motion, remember you don’t need motivation, you just need to keep moving forward. Let’s go out and tackle the week ahead.
