Here you are, staring at a blank page where your paper should be, looking at your sports clothes patiently awaiting on the chair or the vegetables you bought staring at you from the fridge. We have all been there: knowing what to do but somehow not finding the road that leads us there.

Motivation seems to have vanished into thin air. But don’t worry, it is just hiding, waiting for you to find it. 

Like with a muscle, if you rely solely on motivation to achieve your goals, you will soon realise it gets exhausted and you will go back to your old ways. You might want to incorporate several points to make change a reality.

Here are some that will keep you on track:

Break it down
Start by breaking down your goals into smaller, achievable steps. Make it more about progress than perfection. Celebrate small victories.

Keep yourself accountable
Be it that you choose to share your goals with a buddy, join a supportive community or even write a blog, knowing that others are rooting for your success can provide the extra push needed to grab the sports shoes or reach for a salad instead of chips.

Seek inspiration
Whether it’s photos on your fridge, a mood board, paying in advance for those trainings, reading success stories or listening to podcasts, surrounding yourself with positive reinforcement will reignite your motivation. 

Remember your WHY
Prioritise activities that nourish your body and soul. Be kind with yourself. Not all goals are achieved by a straight road.

So, the next time motivation wanes, remember that it’s okay. Get back on the road with these strategies and keep going. With consistency, determination and a sprinkle of self-compassion, you’ll thrive.
