Motivation can be elusive, especially when it comes to sticking to health and fitness goals. However, understanding how motivation works and how to harness it can be a game-changer for your longevity journey.
- Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation: Intrinsic motivation, driven by personal satisfaction and the desire for long-term health, is more sustainable than extrinsic motivation, which is driven by external rewards. So find your personal “why” and make daily reminders for yourself.
- The Role of Small Wins: Breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks creates a sense of achievement, fueling ongoing motivation. These build on one another. Want to lose 100 pounds?
