Find What Motivates You

Tips for staying motivated each day.

Posted by Lynette Ferguson, September 12, 2011 at 02:23 pm

Rocky stared at a picture of Ivan Drago every day as he trained to fight the enormous Russian.

Find your own motivator: your kids, your sport, your results from a less than stellar health test; something that reminds you why you’re getting healthier, or a photo that reminds you of your goal.

Tape your motivator to your bathroom mirror—look at this every morning to stay motivated. Tape another to your refrigerator—look at this one whenever you feel your willpower slipping.
