5 reasons you don’t stay motivated

Motivation is a crazy thing…

Many people struggle with it

PARTICULARLY ‘staying’ motivated’

I mean, its fairly easy to create a feeling of motivation at the START

But keeping it up and continuing to show up in life?

Is a different story

SUNDAY night is always the night when we are MOST motivated

Whether that was because we felt bloated

Was maybe a bit hungover

Or just that I had ‘big plans’ for the week

But by Wednesday? It’s OFF

GONE.

Took me a while to figure this out (like THIRTY YEARS < no joke)

But in the last ten of years of working on myself

And of course, working with thousands of other people who were THE SAME as me

I’ve gotten my head around what motivation really is

And why it seems to come and go with so much regularity

So much so that we KEEP STOPPING

It’s no wonder we can’t get ahead

So I wanted to share some of my learning with you on this

Here are the top 5 reasons that you might struggle so much:

1- You confuse energy with motivation

2- You don’t have targets/goals/missions that ELECTRIFY you

3- Your PLAN is full of things that you just don’t value so you have try and force yourself to do them

4- You’re thinking of yourself too much rather than the people who’ll also be impacted

5- You don’t create an environment that supports you

THE FASTEST and EASIEST WAY to deal with all of these things?

Get around people that have DONE what you want to do

And people that are on the SAME PATH as you

Because without that?

You spend loads of energy and time trying to ‘push back’ and argue with the people around you

Sound familiar??????

About the Author: Nisha Srivastava

Nisha is a certified level 3 Chek practitioner and holistic lifestyle coach specialising in Pilates and Yoga. Her journey started when a visiting Laban teacher introduced her to Pilates at Dance College in a contemporary class during her first year. Its effects were forgotten but she then re-discovered Pilates through Michael King eleven years later whilst running her dance school. Her background spans over 32 years with formal training in classical ballet, modern dance, tap, national choreography, stage production and theatre. Her formation includes Pilates, Thai bodywork, Yoga, GYROTONIC, GYROKINESIS, Garuda and anatomical studies. Her particular interest is fascia, and the connective lines and movement patterns that allow a full moving structure rather than the isolation of bones and muscles. Her fascination with questioning the traditions of modern medicine and fascination with searching for meaningful answers has taken her in many different directions and has offered her an abundance of opportunities gaining a wealth of knowledge. “I tried many movement modalities and extended my search after experiencing fascia, because of its connection of movement. Quickly, I noticed my own body changing, as well as the bodies of my own clients. In the last 32 years of teaching I’ve developed my own movement and lifestyle philosophy". Throughout her studies Nisha has done numerous dissections with Julian Baker, Mel Cash and Cery Davies and has the opportunity to take lectures and courses from James de Silva, Robert Schleip, Joanne Avison, Tom Myers, Matt Wallden, Leigh Brandon, Emma Lane, Gary Carter, Paul Chek, Dan Hellman, Peter Blackaby plus many more. Nisha's teaching method promotes reflective self-discovery and provides the requirements to integrate a shift in consciousness for attaining individual goals. Nisha teaches in her own studios in St. Helens and Manchester, plus she also has an online following. Throughout her career she has also taught Sting, Sir Ian McKellen, Cirque de Soleil, Will Young and Belinda Carlisle. She has also worked in professional football and both Rugby League and Union for over 20 years. Players she has provided a specific program for were former Manchester Citys Vincent Kompany, Everton's Steven Pinnear and goal keeper Jonas Lossi.
