In case you don’t have a vision board and aren’t sure about your goals click here to see my guide on vision boards(which you can also use for just goals without vision boarding)

1.set realistic goals.

If you normally don’t work out regularly and suddenly you want to go to the gym every day, you will be able to uphold this for some days maybe even weeks but eventually you’ll tire out and lose motivation. You are setting yourself up for failure Instead set more realistic goals.

If you rarely work out but want to change that start slow, maybe go to the gym (or do at home workouts of course!) twice a week for 30 min each.This way you’ll feel yourself being productive but not being consumed by it. Start slow and eventually work yourself up

Slow and steady wins the race

✧ Nova‘s Tip: I really enjoyed this workout while I was a beginner ໒꒰ྀི *' ᵕ '* ꒱ྀིა Move with Nicole in general has really good workouts(with and without equipment) in different styles.Definitely check her out if you want to try Pilates.

2.Motivation Consistency

This might be a hard pill to swallow for some but motivation won’t get you your results( at least in most cases). Mainly because motivation is a feeling and feelings are always changing,evolving. Yes you might get a sudden blaze of motivation and get up to do your 12 missing assignments or lift really heavy but that’s a one time thing. You can’t get results doing stuff once, you need a routine If you actually want to build a routine you need to stick to it and you can only do that by staying consistent. Consistency isn’t something that’s easy to achieve but it’s absolutely necessary if you want to see results in any area of your life.

So how do you stay consistent?

Don’t be to hard on yourself, you can start out small ( once a week) and then add onto it over time

Make it enjoyable( if you don’t like one form of exercise switch it up, if you don’t like a specific food in your diet switch it out etc)

If you really can’t get yourself to workout, go for a walk (you are still active and your brain gets the signal that you are actively choosing to become healthier)

Make it easy for yourself. If you hate flossing but want to do it, place the floss somewhere where you have to take it before getting your toothbrush( you already have it in your hand might as well use it) Pack your gym clothes the night before or lay them out, that way you can put them on first thing and are ready to go

✧ Nova‘s Tip: if you have a day where you can only give 30% and you give those 30%, you still gave 100% Recognise that you deserve better and love yourself enough to do what it takes. Even if you don’t feel up for it , do it. Success doesn’t wait for you feeling like it
