Motivation is a lover who needs and deserves your attention if you expect her to stay faithful to you.
Here’s what Motivation wants:
- Atmosphere. Keep the environment conducive to her mood by laying out your clothes and shoes the night before. Make sure the shoes, shorts, and singlet look and feel good, that they’re not old, stinky, or worn out. You want to get out of bed each morning and tell your Motivation, “Let me slip into something more comfortable.”
- Frequent Feedback. Tell your Motivation how much she means to you
There’s nothing like a healthy resting heart rate and blood pressure to keep you motivated. with frequent feedback. Weigh often. Measure your waistline. Take your blood pressure and measure your resting heart rate each morning. Test your fitness with a weekend race or a time trial on the track and plot your results on a chart. With frequent feedback, you tell your Motivation, “You make me a better man.”
