Ever since I've gotten back to school, I feel like I'm getting myself down. Starting last January, I really committed to the gym and started being healthy. I felt like I looked the best I ever had!
However, this year, I feel like my motivation is slowly going down. After a long day of classes and work, all I want to do is eat carbs and lay in my bed.
I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the topic of motivation and I thought I would share it with you all.
At Loyola, the gym is a short walk up North Charles Street in Baltimore. As I walk to class, I always see people bracing for the cold, all bundled up...because they are actually motivated. I think to myself: how can I be like them?
You are only as strong as your mind. You will get there one day. Just be patient and keep working.
Nothing worth having comes easy. If you want abs more than anything, and one day you woke up with them, it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying as watching your body get stronger.
Mental toughness is half the battle. If you think you are strong, and believe you are strong, you will be strong. Soon, when you look back on the struggle and these hard days, you will be so thankful you didn't give up.
Don't forget that weight is just a number. What is really important is how you feel, and that you like how you look. But girl, shout out to you for working on loving your body, because that's hard.
Below, I am attaching some of my favorite motivational quotes that will hopefully get you in the same mindset I'm growing to be in...
"Breathe... Take air into your lungs. Be reminded of His love. Breathe it out. Let it go." - Morgan Harper Nichols
"Do something today that your future self will thank you for."
"Don't stop until you're proud."
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started" -Mark Twain
