No matter which so -called gurus you say on Instagram, it is normal to fight with motivation.
It is part of the process. We all experience days and weeks when it is difficult to get your butt going, especially when it comes to fat loss.
Overcoming low motivation: key to sustainable fat loss
If it has been a fight lately to start your training sessions, it does not mean that you have failed or don’t “want” it bad enough. It means that you are a person.
Welcome to the club.
When we share with our coaching customers, people separate the people who build long-term healthy habits for successful fat loss, of those who are not motivation, no motivation. The difference is to find inspiration if a low motivation slows down.
The secret of motivation in your journey
The “secret” of motivation is that it follows the actions.
Most people are waiting to be motivated to face the challenges, get better and lose fat. In reality, you have to push yourself through a few difficult days when you don’t feel like it and – if you can – when motivation increases.
People who build long -term training habits for effective fat loss know that they are not waiting for motivation. You create it.
As habitual expert James Clear says: “The first steps even in a very small way is a form of active inspiration that naturally produces dynamics.”
If our customers contact us to “motivate” help for your fat loss goals, we usually do not give you RAH-RAH speeches. Instead, we work together to discover small action steps that you can do Today.
The 2-minute
A fantastic way to create a small action step is the 2-minute rule.
The two -minute rule that was made popular by the previously mentioned James Clear is a proven strategy: “If you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes.” This rule is a reliable way to eliminate obstacles and Kickstart action.
If the consistently difficult review of the workouts is challenging, the 2-minute rule is about finding ways to start your training process quickly.
Our Coaching customers Tony struggled that his fat loss training is suitable:
“I just don’t feel motivated to train. I wake up in the morning, get my preliminary tasks and suddenly tell me, no-I do not do it today. Then I have a little war mentally for 5 minutes before I go out to jump out.”
To help him get going again for his trip for fatty fat injuries, I suggested a 2-minute approach: Drink his preliminary task, put on his shoes and climb into the car.
That’s it.
What happens according to his 2-minute rule habits could be a challenge (training), but your 2-minute action step should be easy. The idea is to make it easy. As soon as you started, it is easier to continue.
Outside of your training, you will find some more examples of fat-causing how you can use the 2-minute rule:
- Meal preparation: Spend 2 minutes to chop vegetables or portion snacks.
- Liquid supply: Fill a large water bottle and place it in a visible place.
- Mindfulness: Perform a 2-minute breathing exercise to reduce stress-related requests.
- Movement: Do 2 minutes of body weight exercises such as squats or pushups.
- Planning: Spend 2 minutes to write your goals for the next day.
These small 2-minute campaigns may seem insignificant, but they are powerful impulse builders. You avoid the need for motivation and create a way to consistent actions.
Remember, motivation is not a prerequisite for actions – it is often a result of it. By concentrating on these small, manageable steps, they are not just waiting for the motivation of the strike. They actively create it.
So if you hold on to your trip with fat dismantling, don’t wait for the perfect moment or the outbreak of inspiration. Instead, ask yourself: What small action step can I do? Today To build dynamics?
Choose a 2-minute campaign and now commit yourself. Your future self will thank you for taking this first step, no matter how small it seems.
