So I was doing a little searching this evening (my office has a light that's gone out so no old fashioned writing tonight) and found this suggestion from one blog in regards to getting motivation back:

Quote:
Read about it daily. When I lose motivation, I just read a book or blog about my goal. It inspires me and reinvigorates me. For some reason, reading helps motivate and focus you on whatever you’re reading about. So read about your goal every day, if you can, especially when you’re not feeling motivated.
I remember when I was at the height of my cycling that was in fact what I was doing: reading about how to lose weight, how to improve my cycling form, etc. I've been trying to get into that habit for running instead as I may try that for a bit (since it'll be easier for me when I'm on the road).

I know one thing I have that I'm trying to alleviate: too many things going on. Over the next few weeks one major project will be done and that will probably help. I found that actually scheduling my time to meet with a fitness trainer was the only way I could get some basic fitness in place. I need to push more beyond that.

Quote for the day:
