Inner monologue: "It's 4:45 in the morning, it would be so much easier to stay in bed. OK, let me think here - if I skip this morning's workout I can make it up tomorrow and move tomorrow's workout to X day and double up the workouts".......
How many times has this happened to you? I'm guilty of doing it as much as the next person and at 4:45AM, or on days you're just not motivated to do a workout, it's an easy trap to fall into. So, how do we avoid this trap of using false logic to talk ourselves out of workouts.
1) Put your alarm clock away from your bed so you have to get up and turn it off. Now, since you're up, might as well get it done
2) Don't think about it, just go through the motions of getting yourself ready.
3) Remember how good it will feel to have that workout done before you start your day
4) Have a workout partner so you can hold each other accountable for showing up
5) The sense of accomplishment and knowing you'll have that extra boost of confidence and energy to start your day.
What methods do you use to get yourself to workout when you're not motivated?
