Earlier this week, I
wrote about my Fitbit and how I’m not using it right now. I’m exploring different ways of motivating
myself. All of us need to figure out
what works in our individual cases. Here
are some suggestions.
• Yes, the Fitbit. Or other tracker. Maybe you want to go all elementary school on
yourself and make yourself a chart with stickers. If it makes you feel good, go nuts.
• Rewards. If you want to walk, but you don’t really
feel like it, pick a destination that is a reward, like your favorite café or
your friend’s house or the beach. Make
yourself a preferred customer card and when you get ten punches, get yourself a
present. Make a list of things you want
and pair them up with target weights on the scale or new weight lifting
records.
• Pick something you like
in the first place. If you love to
dance, it’s not hard to get out and boogie.
If you live for pedaling, biking is a no-brainer.
• Do it socially. Maybe you don’t love yoga, but you love your
friend who loves yoga. Go to hang out
with her and get bonus points for working out.
