Motivation moves in many ways.

Motivation moves in many ways.
Intellectually and emotionally I have few problems being motivated; physical motivation is different.

Trying to stay physically in shape and our best selves take dedication, patience and most of all continued discipline. How easy it is to watch another episode on Netflix, chat on the phone or play on the computer. I never have to look far to find an excuse to avoid exercise. Which is not to say I am lazy, I am not, far from it. Laziness and motivation can be very different beasts.

I can work all day straight, head down and never take a break when it comes to what fascinates me; taking an hour or an hour and a half class – which is just that, 90 minutes – can have me fluffing around all morning, all day even. I can miss even two or three opportunities as I deliberate which one I should attend.
Staying motivated to go requires commitment and isn’t easy for everyone.
I understand some women love a workout, live for it even, but not me. I wish I did but there is no point in kidding myself.

How do I stay motivated"
Finding the physical activity to suit you is the first hurdle.
I have found yoga; I love it so I am more inclined to practice.  I’m not racing there like a devoted yogi every day but it is easier for me because I feel and see the benefits. The very simple reward of looking better and enjoying the flexibility and energy makes it easy for me to connect the dots.
