Don’t be a push-over with your motivation. Let it pull you instead.
“In the realm of health and fitness, motivation often begins as a push—something pressing like not feeling well or a diagnosis. But to achieve sustainable change, it’s crucial to shift towards pull motivation that’s linked to deeper, positive life changes.”
Does your motivation push you or pull you toward your exercise goals? This isn’t semantics or wordplay. One leads to burnout; the other to long-term sustainability. Ready for a motivational reset at the beginning of the year? That’s the focus of this week’s podcast episode: the essence of motivation—what it is and how it functions. Jen Walsh, our board-certified health coach, joins us again to share her insights on why initial motivation often falls off quickly, but how you can sustain it through small, incremental victories.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The difference between push motivation (reactive) and pull motivation (proactive)
- How lofty goals can lead to burnout rather than success
- The magic behind setting small, achievable milestones
- Why reevaluating your goals regularly keeps motivation alive
- The role of a great coach in navigating your journey to success
- How to find deeper meaning in your resolutions beyond numbers and percentages
- Real-life examples of translating goals into lasting change
