The next 2 phases of being successful that I am going to discuss are "drive" and "motivation". Each serves as its own purpose, but both are needed to be successful.
DRIVE
What is drive? Drive is that "inner will" to be successful; that little voice inside your head that says "yes, I can" when your body is saying "no, I can't". Remember pain is temporary and if being healthy and in shape were easy, everyone would be doing it!! It is hard to get into shape, it is hard to push through when things are tough. Kind of reminds you a little of life, right? So are you going to be successful or are you going to give up? This is the very foundation of what drive is...don't make excuses, make results! If you can find this inner being, nothing will hold you back and only positive outcomes are sure to follow.
MOTIVATION
What motivates you? Find out what that is and never forget it! Why did you start your workout program? To feel better? To look better? To be healthy? To get off your medications? Reunion? Whatever your motivation is...NEVER FORGET IT! If you are doing this for an event such as a reunion, make sure there is something else behind it to keep you driving forward. As long as you have motivation and a reason, everything else will fall into place.
As you read this series you will start to see how all of these topics are closely related and one leads to the next. That is the point...to see all the factors involved in becoming successful and making the lifestyle changes you are looking for. If you ever have any questions, please let us know. That is why we are here!!
Good luck and stay tuned for part 3.
