How motivated are you to have a high quality of health and movement capability?
Don’t make the mistake of confusing motivation with commitment, they are completely different and to succeed in achieving a lifetime of health and fitness, commitment is the most important of the two.
Do you have the misunderstanding that firstly, you get motivated and then secondly commit to improving your health and fitness?
People who succeed at achieving their goals commit to a healthy lifestyle for the duration of their life in full knowledge and awareness that motivation is a roller coaster and goes up and goes down.
The mistake some people make is to believe that when they have high motivation, the commitment automatically happens…it doesn’t!!
That’s why people fail at sustaining their health and fitness goals. As soon as there’s a motivation dip, which WILL happen, it’s game over.
That’s when all the excuses start to come in to play. I’m too busy at work, the kids are sick, it’s too hot, it’s too cold, it’s too hard, the list goes on.
You have to make a conscious decision to stick with the plan to be healthy and fit, no matter what gets thrown at you.
Fit and healthy people are not always motivated to do their exercise program or to eat healthy. But they do it regardless of how they feel because their commitment is stronger than their motivation.
Read that again…
Their commitment is STRONGER than their motivation!
They have a “lifetime” mindset and understand that small daily actions create a lifetime of health, vitality, movement capability and a very high quality of daily life.
And that is the ultimate goal.
You have your body for life…not for 12 weeks, or 12 months. Don’t be in a hurry to “get fit”, just be fit, be healthy, this is what Joseph Pilates called “normal health”.
Once you’ve achieved a great level of health, fitness and wellness, it’s easy to maintain.
Small commitments everyday lead to big lifetime achievements.
So, if you are highly motivated right now, that’s great, enjoy the ride. But don’t expect it to last, it won’t.
Commit, stick with the plan and the rewards will be worth it!
