1 Minute of Real & Raw Motivation

Coming live from the production studio of Luc Besson’s Valerian, directly after an early morning with Valerian himself, my client and friend Dane Dehaan.

People want the life of an actor or athlete but they rarely see the sacrifices they make – like 5am pickups, 18-hour days, being far away from their significant other or family, missing Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthday parties, the big game, etc.

This week I define the difference between the high performers I have the privilege to work with and the dreamers that don’t take action.

As your Coach I’d like to give you a homework assignment this week. What are the 3 most important reasons you move?

Here are My Reasons:
1. So I Don’t Get Tired
2. So I Don’t Get Tired
3. So I Don’t Get Tired

Because in my book, fatigue is failure and energy is everything!

3 Tips to stay motivated when you have a habit of giving up

When you want to take your health and fitness to the next level, getting motivated is easy. Read an inspirational quote on Facebook. Get a pep talk from your trainer. Listen to upbeat music on your iPod. You’re all pumped up, ready to take on the world. ‘I’ve got this,’ you tell yourself. You’re going to kick those bad habits. Kickstart some good habits. It’s on!

But you and I both know the way the story starts is not necessarily how it ends. Even with the best intentions, we’re back to square one in no time, trying to get ourselves going again. So how do we not only get motivated, but stay motivated when it comes to our health? How do we keep going when life gets in the way, when we get bored, or when the inspiration fades?

Here are my top 3 tips to keep yourself motivated #8DaysAWeek

This week’s Coaching Conversation is all about how to keep yourself motivated. As Zig Ziglar says, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”
