What's Your "Why"?
This simple technique will help you stay motivated throughout your journey.
In this article:
Getting motivated to lose weight and live healthier is one thing; staying motivated—that's quite another. But a powerful, personal "why" can bolster your mojo and help clear your mind of"I can’t"when you hit bumps along the way.
How do I find my “why”?
Your "why" isn't the same as your goal—it’s the reason for wanting to get to your goal; the motor that gets you to your destination. Maybe you want to lose weight so that you can feel comfortable in your own skin or go on that amazing rollercoaster or hike a beautiful trail. The more specific your “why”—the more you can feel the wind on your face when you plummet down the highest hill of the coaster—the more powerful your “why” will be.
Don't worry about coming up with your one-and-only"why." You don't have to commit forever; your "why" can change throughout your journey. You may achieve your first "why" and move on to another!
