Workout Motivation Part 3
“Oh bloody hell (in a very polished British accent) this rut again; why does the universe Despise me?” “Can’t I catch a break or is my luck so tragic, that falling off the wagon has happened to me for the second time” These are the thoughts, fuelled by anger that the motivational rookie first experiences after falling off the wagon for the second time. After, some time spent wallowing away in self-pity, a period of isolation arrives where the rookie ponders upon their next big move. This decision could make or break them, it could change their lives for the better or it could render months of their hard work; sacrifice and growth redundant.
After a tremendous amount of time spent on pondering; this humongous, life altering decision, the rookie finally comes to the most logical conclusion that, they will make it their life’s mission to get back on this wagon and do whatever it takes to stay on it. This time around, they note down every moment that lead them to fall off the wagon twice. After noting down these moments, they then ponder on where it all went downhill and what they need to do differently this time around. A realisation happens or more of an aha moment, that with staying motivated and maintaining a new and healthy lifestyle, change is imperative and necessary. In order to make something a habit, one must make it exciting to live by and therefore one will enjoy living that way. The key aspect in staying motivated is to enjoy living in a such a way.

To dictate the life of a motivational rookie, one must immerse themselves completely in such a life; therefore, prompting the return of the gripping series, ‘Journey of a motivational rookie’. This lengthy, crucial and agonising break which was filled with; temptation, failures and success, was solely dedicated to living through the struggles of being and staying motivated and therefore, has allowed me to return with much greater insight than ever before. Looking back, one was faced with a demotivated outlook coupled with many questions and the greatest conflict, to give up or not to give up. Their drive overpowered their fears and doubts resulting in; positivity and the decision not to quit. Therefore, this piece will focus on the challenges of; staying motivated and consistent for a long period of time and its stellar benefits that begin to arise as a result.
