Your Motivation’s Dying. Let’s Fix That

How many days did that new year motivation last? 2 days? 3 maybe? Has it nosedived already?

It’s cold, it’s dark, and the January “new year, new me ” buzz is wearing off

And I get it. If you’re only relying on motivation to get you to the gym, of course, it’s going to feel like a losing battle

Motivation is bullsh*t 💩 

It’s unreliable. That’s why you need something stronger

You need a why 👇️ 

WHY the Hell Are You Even Training?

I don’t mean “because I want to get fit.” That’s fluff, and fluff won’t get you out of bed when it’s pissing down outside, and your alarm’s going off at 6 a.m

You need something solid. Something that actually gets you moving when you’d rather do anything else

Here are some examples:

💪 Strength: Because there’s no better flex than picking up something heavy and making it look easy

🔥 Physique: Want to feel good naked? Say it. There’s no shame in training for aesthetics

❤️ Health: Maybe your heart rate was a little too high after running up those 5 stairs, and you want to avoid becoming a couch-shaped statistic

🧠 Sanity: Life’s stressful. Training is therapy you can’t afford not to take

📅 Structure: Chaos in life is easier to handle when your fitness routine is rock-solid

What’s your reason? Figure it out. Write it down. Because when motivation leaves (and trust me, it will), your why is what gets you through

Write it on your bathroom mirror, put it as your laptop screensaver, get your phone to tell you you're being lazy every morning.

Set Goals That Don’t Suck

Now you’ve got your why, what the hell are you going to do with it? Set some goals, but let’s not make them shite:

1️⃣ Be Specific: “Get fit” doesn’t cut it. “Deadlift 2x my body weight by June” does

2️⃣ Keep It Real: You’re not going from 0 to Olympic athlete in a month. Start with realistic targets you can actually hit

3️⃣ Measure Progress: Track. your. shit. You can’t improve what you don’t measure

4️⃣ Commit to the Long Game: No program hopping. No skipping leg day. Stick to your plan and stop chasing shiny objects or ‘easy wins’

Stop Thinking It’s All or Nothing

Here’s where most people screw up:

They think fitness is all or nothing. It’s either broccoli and chicken breast every meal (dull) or it’s bingeing three tubs of ice cream in one sitting 🍦 

But it doesn’t have to be that way

I still eat pizza. I still grab dessert when I feel like it. Why? Because I’ve built a structure that lets me include the things I actually enjoy, and that means I stick to my goals

Food isn’t the enemy

It’s fuel 🔥 

Build your diet around your goals, sure, but leave room for the stuff that makes life enjoyable

Otherwise, you’ll quit faster than me in my maths GCSE once the questions started using letters instead of numbers

Bottom Line:

Motivation isn’t the answer. It’s temporary, it’s overrated, and it’s useless without a clear why and a solid plan

Clear goal + structured plan = Success

1. Get your why sorted

2. Set goals that don’t suck

3. And stop acting like perfection is the only path to progress
