The #1 Reason You Lack Motivation (And How to Fix It)

Do you constantly struggle with a lack of motivation, especially when it comes to exercise and working out? The biggest reason people feel unmotivated is because of the lie the fitness industry has spread - that you should feel bad about how you look.

The messaging from many workout programs and products promotes the idea that you can't be motivated unless you feel shameful about your body and use self-hatred as fuel. However, this approach simply doesn't work. Motivating yourself through negative emotions like shame and anxiety will only lead to self-sabotage and ensure you remain stuck and unmotivated.

The first key step to mastering motivation is to accept that methods rooted in self-criticism have never worked and never will work. Feeling bad about yourself may get you started for a little while, but it's an unsustainable path that will eventually cause you to give up. Instead, you need to reject the voices telling you to be ashamed of your body. When you approach fitness from a place of self-love and feeling good in your body, you'll find true, lasting motivation.
