Hello!

Blowing off an hour run is always easy when we've all got so much to do these days! The truth is, you will have more luck sticking to your habits if you try doing things on a smaller scale, rather than not at all.

Whining away running around the block a few times for a 15 minute run because, well, it's only 15 minutes, will only work against you. Instead, let that excuse be the very reason that you do go for that short run.

Remember, 15 minutes is better than 0 minutes, right? And does "I don't have time" truly apply if you spent 43 minutes last night on Facebook looking at a friend of a friend's wedding pictures?

Challenge yourself to do things even for a short time. In the end, something is always better than nothing...no matter how small.

Peace,

Don't just get motivated...stay motivated!

We seem to always find it in us to get motivated, but how do we stay motivated?

One piece of information that is often unknown, but imperative to your success in either getting something done or even creating a new, healthy habit, is this: Motivation comes after action, not before.

If you swear that this can't be the case, you may be confusing inspiration with motivation.

Inspiration will only get you so far...So, if you're waiting until you feel like to doing something, you could be waiting for quite some time.

This is actually good news because then you are always in control and not waiting for something outside of you to get the job done.

Force yourself to do the littlest something, and your motivation will start rolling.

Peace,

Cheri
