I talk a lot about motivation, both with my clients and here on the podcast. Motivation is the driving force behind our health and fitness journeys, and we really do need it to be successful.
I’m constantly talking with people about ways to create it, improve it, or find it again. We can create motivation externally with accountability partners, we can lay out everything we need the night before a run, or we can even create it internally through planning things to look forward to.
But, there is a piece of motivation that I haven’t really touched on until now. Today on the Fit is Freedom Podcast, I’m going to be discussing the middle piece of motivation. It lies somewhere between the internal and external motivators, and it can make a big difference in your overall motivation towards your fitness and health.
A calm mind is a motivated mind. A calm mind is a driven mind. When you can calm your mind, you can shift your brain, your outlook, and, in turn, find your motivation with ease. I have three middle pieces of motivation for you:
Meditation
Yes, meditation can make a huge impact on your motivation. The thing I love about meditation is that it clears the fog from your mind. It takes all of that constant chatter and completely shuts it down.
Whether it’s that negative Nancy in the back of your mind constantly criticizing you or the never ending to-do list running on repeat, simply taking 5 minutes to do some breathwork can shut it down and clear your head.
People are starting to catch on to the power of meditation. You can find it anywhere! The Peloton App, Headspace App, Calm, and even on Spotify and Youtube are just a few of the many places you can find guided meditations from your phone.
