I’ve been thinking about this a lot…Motivation…what is it? How do you get it? Why are some people “motivated” and others aren’t? Is it laziness? Is it some folks are born with it? I don’t have the answer, yet, I do have strong feelings about it.

My business is fitness and coaching people towards a healthy lifestyle.
Clients pay me for a reason and that’s to teach them skills, make fitness fun, fresh and
MOTIVATING!

So I’ve had to figure out a couple of things:
1. What motivates people?
2. What motivates people to do or not do certain things?

I think it’s about getting Results, enjoying and EXPERIENCE(!) that’s Fun.
I keep it real. I Don’t coddle people. I tell it like it is. Some people like it. And some don’t.

One thing is CLEAR, and I’ve come to the conclusion that
EMOTION is what drives us. Our emotions lead us to action or inaction.

Me, I like to workout. It’s not a problem for me most days. It’s because I enjoy the EXPERIENCE and I appreciate the OUTCOME of what workouts outdoors do for me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

On days when I don’t feel like it, I go beyond the workout, I see ahead of it and FEEL how I will feel either during or after the workout.

It’s simple. EMOTIONS—lead us into MOTION and to take ACTION.
