Motivation requires us to tap into our “why” to ask ourselves; “Why do I want to do this for myself?”That means digging deep to find that thought, goal, or reward that will get you moving today.
You can also take a moment to be aware and recognize the excuses that you constantly give yourself to not exercise. Think of the thoughts that pop up for you, Write them down, And ask yourself if they’re true?…Tonight in class we will talk about our thoughts and how to help them work for us and not against us. So, try to be aware and make sustaining motivation easier by recognizing and eliminating your excuses before they happen.
Most importantly, realize that you deserve to love and take care of yourself today. ☀️You deserve that time to strengthen yourself physically, emotionally and Spiritually. Exercise brings positive consequences into your life and as you tap into that love for yourself you’ll find that you can be motivated to do something good for yourself today! ?
Remember that you can do all things with Gods help too! Ask Him to help you find the motivation, the thoughts and actions to help you choose what is best for you today. He wants you to choose to do those things that will strengthen yourself not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. So that you may be a strong child of His and so that you may continue to experience the love, joy and peace of God in your life daily. It will require your awareness, and your desire to feel positive thoughts and actions in your life. You get to choose! ???
The more you PRACTICE MOTIVATING YOURSELF the easier it will get. ?? Focus on doing it ONE DAY AT A TIME. And begin to notice the difference one day at a time.
When you begin to do this for yourself consistently, focusing on your “why” on the awareness of your thoughts, on asking God to help you choose positive thoughts and feelings that will allow you to take the action toward that goal. You gradually fill your motivational stores as you understand what gets you moving. You’re better able to put on those workout clothes and to get outside to do something for yourself. You’re better able to choose good thoughts to help you not only love yourself more but also strengthen yourself emotionally and spiritually. The practice and not being judgmental of ourselves will make all the difference. ?
So, focus on your “why” today. Your own actions are what generate that feeling you’ve been searching for. Allow that love for yourself to expand and grow today. Choose to do something good for your yourself today! You deserve it and you need that opportunity to release stress, to feel proud of yourself for doing something that required your own mental work and motivation ??? what an awesome opportunity to prove to yourself what you can do and overcome. So, prove it to yourself and experience that amazing feeling of accomplishment one day at a time.

Dear Lili
I do find it hard to motivate myself sometimes because the my moods or feelings get the best of me. I know I should get myself going and doing but it I find it hard to do. I think of what others go thru and yet they seem to get themselves up and going and shame on me. I want to feel and believe that all these emotions and sad feelings will go away and give me the sense of joy and being myself again will give me the motivation to continue to take care of myself and my dog. I pray for myself and so many others who need this inner strength to do and be who we need to be .
God bless
Love Margie
