As an adult, I can quite literally do whatever I want to, but I always end up wanting to just go home.

You will have days when you don’t want to work out.

It’s just a fact! It’s unrealistic to think that you won’t. So what are you going to do when those days happen?

I have a 15 minute rule. On days that I don’t want to work out, I still get changed and go to the gym and I work out for 15 minutes. If I still don’t want to work out after those 15 minutes, I leave.

The hardest parts of going to the gym for me are

1) actually getting there and then

2) starting my workout.

If I can get through those, I’m in the clear like 99% of the time. I think I’ve left the gym twice in the past 4 years after the first 15 minutes.

If you have trouble making yourself go, try the 15 minute rule!

What do you do to get yourself to work out on those days that you don’t want to?

Good Habits to Develop

1. Set yourself some daily goals. Keep them realistic and achievable. That will give direction – so you don’t fritter your time.

2. Read inspirational books and blogs; hang around people who are positive.

3. Stay in touch with what’s happening in the world. We’re not just islands – we are part of one another.

4. Make the effort to stay in touch. Just a “like” on facebook, or a brief text message, conveys to that person that they matter to you.

5. Invest some time in your appearance and health. We’re more confident when we look and feel our best.

6. Pay attention to your priorities. Do what’s most important, and not most urgent, first. (Note: If you never learn to prioritise then everything seems urgent – and that’s what runs your life!)

7. Smile. It makes people feel more positive towards you – and it tends to lift our mood, and enhance our feelings, too.

8. Tidy as you go. It’s easier to work, and you’ll feel a lot less stressed, if you’re working somewhere that’s devoid of clutter. Also, if you tidy as you go then it feels less overwhelming.

9. Include some margin in your life so you don’t feel so stressed, as unexpected things always eat away our time. Expect that to happen – and leave some extra time.

10. Take time for yourself as you need to relax, unwind, recover, and recharge your batteries.
