Staying Motivated
July 14th, 2008 at 8:14We all have our days that we just don’t feel like getting up and “getting out there” to do whatever it is we may do. It could be work, it could be exercise, it could even be socializing with friends. Temporary lapses of motivation are normal, and they tend to pass as quickly.
But sometimes, after long periods of hard training and finally making it to the target event, getting motivated again is a little harder.
The best way to “get going” again is to set another goal. Ok, you participated in your event, and you’re “done.” Take a few days off, and start looking for another one. Part of the fun is picking your next event. Then sign up for it. Once you clicked on that “Complete your order” button to allow them to charge your credit card, you are in. You’re committed. And, there’s nothing like signing up for an event to get you motivated again.
So, if you find yourself feeling a little less motivated after an event, start looking toward the next one. You’ll be amazed at your new found excitement.
