Do you ever wonder why you and so many others start new habits with good intentions and quit only after 2 short weeks? It's because motivation doesn't work long term.
Let me ask you a question? Who is the most "in-shape" person you know? This is the person that never misses workout, always works out on vacation, always seems to pick fruit over dessert or just passes it up regularly. Think about their habits for a second. What is the difference between that person and you?
Most people come to a conclusion that motivation is the key factor they lack. But they are dead wrong. The difference between you and the fittest person you know is, they have made it a must in their life to exercise or eat right. That means in their mind it is not an option. It is not something they are "supposed" to do but something they must do.
Let's consider some must you may have created in your life. Maybe you.......
No one loves the act of sliding a brush back and forth for several minutes while staring at themselves in the mirror, but I do like the way it feels afterward, And I know my teeth will rot out if I don't, so it is a must in my life to brush everyday. I don't think many people really enjoyed black coffee the first time they drank it, but it helped them get through they day so they acquired a taste for it.
You probably have a bunch of musts in your life like the sheets must be straightened, your hair must be curled a certain way, etc. But the difference between you and the most in-shape person you know is that you haven't made health a must in your life.
Every must you have made in your life came with some small amount of adversity that eventually dissipated or became tolerable. Just like the discomfort of working out.
Motivation is this all alluring thing people think that they need to workout. Motivation is fleeting but habits are not. If you have made working out a must, you're not going to quit like most people do.
Make your workout routine a MUST in your life and remember " I WANT TO SEE YOU WIN.”

- must drink coffee to start their day.
- must brush your teeth first thing when you get up
- must have a glass of wine to wind down from the day
