026: Finding Your Motivation, in Running and Life

When it comes to getting anything done in our day, we need a reason.  The more challenging and new a task is, the greater reason, motivation, and focus we need to accomplish that task.  So many people are able to start a new exercise plan or healthy eating lifestyle, but fall back to old habits after a few weeks.  When a race or a workout gets tough, knowing your reason for why you are doing it helps you get through the rough patches.

In today’s episode, we talk about finding different types of motivation and share different ideas that help to push us to be more.  Whether the drive to continue when a job gets difficult comes from inside or outside, knowing your motivation will help you keep going.  By having multiple reasons to keep going, we can choose the option that best motivates in that moment.

Sometimes the inspiring poster is enough.  Other times we need more. Check out this episode and take some time to really think about what pushes you to get better.
