Motivation Monday - something from my "helped me" archive. (not original to me)
Emotion FOLLOWS Motion.
(Action comes first and feeds Motivation - not the other way around) If you wait till you "feel like it" to start, you often never start.
============
"Motivation follows action (not the other way around). If you wait till you "feel like it" to start, you often never start.
I was introduced to this as "emotion follows motion".
Put a tight time limit (like 5-10 minutes) on a small task you have been putting off and feel would be hard or tedious. If the time expires and you do not feel like continuing, stop. If it was a big task, break it down into a first step that would take 10 mins or less.
More often than not, once to start the task, you "get into it" and motivation turns up to help you continue or even complete the task.
This could be something simple like cleaning your desk/bathroom/etc.. , going for a walk/run/doing exercise, practicing an instrument, reading a book, writing a letter or even reading/posting on an MFP forum."4 -

The Baseball Team is now full! If there are others interested, we probably should keep a short list of subs - I'll check with the Mod Squad how that might work. I'll keep you posted on the beginning of the game!
So all you have to do is report your exercise DAILY. Steps and/or minutes of intentional exercise. I'm going to go check out the score card and other fun things. I'll repost the chart of what exercise is = what shortly.

OK, baseball team - here are the rules.
- If you do a rest day, you must declare it in advance (just post here that your next day is a rest day). Then I'll score it as a "BUNT". If you miss without advance notice it's a strike out!
- The batting order is the order we all signed up. It doesn't really matter to you as you post your results for the day - I just count them in that order to figure out how many runs we got each day.
- Please post EVERY DAY. Motivate your team! Push the members ahead of you around the bases!
STEPPING
7,500 STEPS= SINGLE
10,000 steps = DOUBLE
15,000 steps = TRIPLE
20,000 STEPS = HOME RUN
WORKOUTS
30 MIN workout = single
45 MIN workout = double
60 MIN workout = triple
120 MIN WORKOUT = HOME RUN
BUNT = REST DAY
GRAND SLAM = ALL BASES LOADED - THEN THE NEXT BATTER HITS THE HOME RUN IN EITHER CATERGORY
STRIKE OUT = DO NOTHING FOR THAT DAY….. UNLESS IT HAS BEEN DECLARED A REST DAY PRIOR TO YOU BATTING ROTATION FOR THAT DAY OR HAS SET UP IN ADVANCE WITH THE UMPIRE @NAVYDADDJTC
Let's have a blast! I don't know about you, but some inspiration to get the workout done every day is needed. It is grey and icy out, I don' wanna, and I need to get to it!

This reminder could not come at a better time. I really like the tight time limit and identifying tasks I have been putting off. There are a few things I have been really lagging on, and this will help. Thanks!2 -

@jugar baseball team batter .
I have 15886 steps so far and 102 Active minutes. Intentional activity gets counted in my Fitbit so these are my active minutes. Planning to hit atleast 8k more today. Let me know if 11pm EST works for the final posting.
Holy moly! You are going to have us spinning around the bases. I have put in the question to the umpire about "active minutes" on fitbit to make sure they count the same as "workout". He'll probably answer some time later. As to 11 pm, it's about my limit, but should be fine! Any later than that would be difficult.1 -
I have over 10,000 steps but not done yet and walked a total of 1 hour and 10minutes. I will log steps tonight if need it today?2

Absolutely!!! You have to log every day if you're on the baseball team
and tonight is fine, as long as it not after 11 pm Eastern. 10,000 steps is a double, 15,000 steps for a triple. If you think you'll get 5,000 more by bedtime, go for it. Thanks! 2 -
