What Motivates You?
Published
Motivation influences behavior. Increasing your hydration is a major change that might require a little motivation. So, what motivates you? Is it something physical, like the way proper hydration makes your clothes fit or how being hydrated provides mental clarity? Or is it something intrinsic, like knowing you’re doing something good for yourself?
Today’s challenge is to identify what motivates you to stick to a goal. Take a moment to quietly reflect on the driving force behind this challenge. Jot down your thoughts on a piece of paper or in the Notes app on your smartphone.
Knowing what motivates you to stick to the schedule you created yesterday will help you hold yourself accountable. Motivation targets the “why” of change, and once you know why you’re doing this, you can move forward with the “how.”
If you're lacking motivation, allow yourself to feel whatever emotions you're feeling and think whatever thoughts you're thinking. Just don't get stuck there — make yourself move forward.
If a motivational mantra will help keep you focused, try one of these:
You can do this — we’re here for you the entire way. Now go drink a glass of water.

- Never forget why you started.
- You can do hard things.
- You can do anything you set your mind to.
- You didn’t come this far to only come this far.
- Progress, not perfection.
