How many times have you sat around and waited for motivation? Looking for that magical glitter encrusted epiphany to fall out of the sky. That aha moment that is going to be THE thing that will motivate you to lose weight and create the life you crave? Girl, you’ve been doing it wrong the entire time. You got it backwards! You can’t wait around for motivation to just show up. You need to take action in order to build motivation.
Motivation doesn’t have a long lifespan. It can not and will not sustain you. It’s not meant to. So, the minute you “fall off the wagon”, you think that something is wrong with your motivation. You spend countless hours looking for your mojo. Instead of just taking action towards what you want. That’s the other thing that you have wrong – that action has to be all or nothing. We are breaking down all the misconceptions about weight loss and motivation in this episode of Irresistible You!
