Everyone needs a little boost and encouragement during their fitness journey. We may not see results as fast as we hope and might need a pick-me-up to keep working towards those goals. I want to help you stay the course and give you some motivation and inspiration with my favorite quotes to help you kickass in your next workout. Here is your daily dose of how to stay motivated every day.
Your Daily Life Motivation When Things Get Tough!
“Big ideas have small beginnings.”
When you are starting out your fitness journey, you often have big goals. Looking at these goals and not knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. You know you want to lose a certain amount of weight, work out for a certain amount of time, and prepare meals that are going to support your goals.
Breaking your goals down into small, doable steps (or, as I call them – baby steps) will bring big rewards in the end. Be proud of yourself for each step that you take to get closer to your goal. After all, it’s a positive lifestyle change that will last way beyond achieving your goals but also help you stay motivated.
“Stop doubting yourself and trust the process.”
The next time you doubt yourself and want to throw in the towel, think of this!
You may make mistakes along the way, but that’s ok because taking little steps will help you correct the course. There is nothing that you can’t learn and improve on, to do better than you did before.
Doing a little bit better than you are already doing is a huge accomplishment. Trust the process of a well-designed lifestyle program, and the results of your long-term goals will be there sooner than you think.
“Don’t give up; great things take time.”
You’re in the middle of your run and can quit or eeking out another minute or two. You can choose to go either route. Next time you are at this point, remember this quote.
Even if you have to slow down or walk the rest of the way, you know that you did not quit. You will be proud of yourself for not stopping and gaining courage in your abilities. You know that practice doesn’t make perfect, and you don’t want perfect. You want what is sustainable for your lifestyle and your body. You will get better at what you are doing every time; you just have to keep going.
“Make yourself a priority.”
Many women put kids, partners, friends, and pets before their own needs. Then we feel guilty when we take time for ourselves to stay healthy and fit. Making healthy eating and fitness part of your everyday life is essential. Achieving a healthy balance in your life is crucial.
Remember that we gain energy, confidence, and a fit body by taking care of our health. Not only will you notice the difference, but those around you will benefit as well.
If you want to skip a workout or stray from your healthy eating habits at some point this week, return to these quotes and get your boost to stay the course.
Keeping a positive mindset will help you stay on track to reach your health and fitness goals.
