Find real motivator factor

Because if you don’t have the substantial motivating factor you not going to stick your health plan for a long time.

Let me explain to you when I am talking about motivating factor I am not going to talk about short-term motivator, for example,

Weight Loss =motivator.

But it’s a short term motivator people are encouraged until they lose the weight, and then they go back to their old value, and then they regain their weight some cases.

So what I am talking about as figure out what is genuinely motivate you long term! So you can make that lifestyle changes and stick to them for the long haul.

Something is going to inspire you every single day.

Even you fall off the track couple of day you can come back on it because you had such a vital motivating factor. Now everyone motivating factor is different; it’s might work for you might not work for me.

like what motivates me is my Dad pass away when I was 26 he was 50. He has a heart attack many organs fall, and he had to stay on ICU, and it’s all results of a person with diabetes. Diabetic is a lifestyle disease that has a genetic component. But it’s the central lifestyle you can prevent diabetic if you take care of yourself.

So for me, my main motivating factor for stick on healthy plan and take care of myself is to prevent diabetic.

Now, what can I suggest you sit down with a pen and paper and brainstorm and write down whatever pops on your head just write down your motivating factor? It’s not a right or wrong, to choose a motivating factor.

Then select 1-3 long term factor. Then figure out which one means to most to you and which one is a long term motivating factor to write it down on a sticky note and post it on your refrigerator, your mirror, in front of your stove, it’s content remainder why you want to lose weight or on that health plan why you line in a healthy lifestyle.

Daily meal preparation

I know we all living now in a busy lifestyle today. But we all have 24 hours in the day. Some people can do a lot more than others. I am still working on my time management. So I think she it comes downtime management efficiency asking for help when you need it. I suggest figuring out where you are spending time most. For a three days keep a time Journal. Every single hour of yours counted when I did this; I figure out how many time I am spending time on social media on my phone just aimlessly scoring. I know it seems to much work to do, but it gives you a clear picture. So you know that is the time you can use for other things like cooking, for a meal prepared for the exercise, for meditations, for prayer all the things you think you have don’t have time for it.

Make cooking enjoyable

when it comes to healthy eating, it’s come to the part of the process. It much better to have home cook meal no matter how well tries to eat out you don’t know what the ingredient they are using, and you don’t have control what they are putting on their food. When you are cooking home, you have a lot of power. But I do understand not everybody like cooking. But you have to realise that when it’s come to long term health enjoying cooking and making less of a chore goes a long away.

Let go perfection

I can’t count how many times client come to me and start the plan well. Two weeks end something happens, they got something going on, they busy, went vacation, and fall on the wagon entirely and never get back on it because in their mind they need to do the plan correctly, but I don’t agree with that way looking at health. Health does not have to be perfection. Healthy living # perfection all the time; it’s about what do you can and doing the best. So let’s say you know it’s Friday and you feel like a piece of cake enjoy it. Don’t be yourself upfront. Don’t feel like you need to punish with extra workout the next day. You don’t need to do that. And don’t use that cake on Friday as an excuse poorly eat on Saturday and Sunday. So you can start on Monday, don’t do that. That’s not the way to go. Because that is the perfection oh I don’t have a perfect weekend you know what I am just going to be wrong on the weekend and start on Monday. It doesn’t need to be like that. Do your best every day. Don’t be yourself upfront because you are here for the long haul not for the short term. So strive for progress, not perfection.

Find an accountable partner

You need to find a buddy in this part someone needs to stay responsible with you. It doesn’t need to be someone doing the health plan with you. It just needs to be someone who you comfortable with who can push you. Talk to your partner once a week twice a week, whatever is work for you. Tell them what your progress is, what are your set pack is and see they can give you some sort of advice, opinion and can help you the right direction. I find if we have someone to talk to and someone keep us an accountable, we are more likely to stick to a plan. With someone Support, we can become more responsible as supposed to do on your own.
