I don't claim to be a hero in any way shape or form.

So I know you're trying to be better, and so am I. Can you give me some advice on keeping my motivation? And maybe some pointers in staying on track with a workout program. Feels like lately I have lost my drive to keep going to the gym.

Okay so I hope I’m able to help with this. This is something I’m trying to teach myself.

First of all fuck motivation. Don’t get me wrong it’s great, but it’s fleeting. It comes and goes in waves and that’s the problem with motivation. If you always wait to be motivated, you won’t get shit done. Trust me.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been struggling a bit with depression which is kind of like losing motivation for every aspect of your life. It’s not great but I’m grinding regardless.

My solution? Just do the thing. Whatever it is. Work, gym, study JUST DO THE THING. Fuck motivation you need discipline. This is what I’m trying to teach myself. You can wait around until you want to do things you need to JUST do them anyway. L. I. F. E. G. O. E. S. O. N. It’s all about creating habits. DO THE THING.

How you feel right now is temporary. Just tackle those things you keep avoiding. Future you will thank you. Trust me. It also makes it so much more enjoyable when you are motivated again. Organisation helps loads too. For example going to the gym early in the morning seems like less of a task if you’ve already packed your bag the night before. It also makes me a little more accountable.

So get organised. Do the thing. Become disciplined. Create a habit. Get results. Which will usually ‘find’ your motivation again.

I agree with this to the Nth degree.  Habit, discipline and routine are god sends for accomplishing things when motivation is lacking. Be it the gym, housework, or work-work: just do the thing. It’s the only way I get things done on the daily as a freelance illustrator. I make my own schedule and believe you me, the desire to fuck about and do nothing is great. But I just sit down and do the thing. Because I have to. Or I can’t pay rent or the bills. And there is no shame in doing little things to make the work more tolerable!  I put on movies while I draw or ink because it just straight up helps me to get in the zone, and it allows me to take breaks after a good two hours or so when I put on another movie. There’s a reason the old carrot and stick phrase exists, and it does work.

Also NEVER ask yourself if you want to go to the gym or workout.  you dont. i don’t. most people don’t.  but do you want to make a change? yes. do you want to succeed? yes.  do you want to become better than yesterday? yes.
