Shades Of Psych

Easier said than done right?!

Motivation isn’t something we just wait for, its something we have to create! Motivation is created by trying things out and gaining a sense of achievement, purpose or pleasure from doing the activity!

If you’re struggling with following your plans here are a few things you can do:

– Have a friend/family member or coach hold you accountable (we’re less likely to avoid things with consequences)

– Reward yourself with something after you’ve completed your plan

– Start Small! Don’t just jump into an activities at your 100% rate, if you’ve struggled with following your plans for awhile – you’re setting yourself up for failure and will likely crash and burnout!

Start at a 50% rate, set small achievable goals for now and gradually increase them over time!
(Think of it like going to the gym – you don’t just start at the heaviest weight if you’ve not been in awhile, you build your muscle back up using lighter weights)

Remember your mind is also a muscle that will benefit from the same process
