This week I'm talking about how to get yourself going for things that aren't exciting, that you don't look forward to but you really need to do. That might be rehab, strengthening weaknesses or it might be those hill sprints that you are dreading or it might be the meal planning you can't stand.
The longer term the reward is for the things you are trying to do, the harder it is to get going.
So this week, I talk about:
Knowing why you are doing it in the first place, and what the benefits are
Prioritising things early in the day and early in your week
Finding something, even something small that you can enjoy about it
Creating a reward system to sweeten the deal
Creating some social accountability
And even tricking yourself i you need to!
