    nothing.

    motivation is a farce.

    it's an empty promise- it's roses- that wither and die.

    Your mistake- which you are realizing is relying on motivbation to keep you going- you can't- it is not a question of IF it fails- but WHEN.

    Make it the thing you do- there are no exceptions- there are no emotions.
    Monday is gym day.
    So no matter how tired- how busy how anything I am- when I leave at 730 Am- my bag is in the car- and I WILL go to the gym at 5 PM.

    Not "IF I FEEL LIKE IT"

    Just pack your back- make an "appointment" and go do it.

    Do you stay motivated to brush your teeth?
    pick your kids up?
    eat food?
    do the dishes?
    do the laundry?

    of course not- but you do them- because they need doing.

    Doing things- gets things done.
    So, so true. In the end, it all comes to this.

    Motivation comes and goes. I try to take advantage of it when I have it, and make it easy to keep at it when I don'[t have it.

    Ie its easier to convince yourself to go the gym when you don't feel like it if you go every week and only have two ticks on your calendar - Oh I should go and if your gym stuff is all set up and ready to go!

    Its easier to eat healthy when the fridge is full of great foods and I've picked a reciepe or two I want to try this week
