How Bad Do You Want It?

I spent yesterday with my brother. We watched Crystal Palace vs Bolton and then went back to his house in Kingston. We had a pretty sweet day but that's not what I want to write about... 

We both have similar goals this year with regards to health and fitness, and motivating yourself to hit the gym every day can be quite tiring. Even though there's nothing quite like the feeling of a really good work out, getting out of bed early or going to the gym on a Friday night can be off putting. 

On Josh's wall, above his desk, he has a whiteboard. On that whiteboard he has the message "HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?" with reminders such as "Gym" and "Exams" underneath. The self motivation is up on the wall so you see it all the time, the message is always there! It's never something I've thought to do but I think it's genius. Subconsciously the message will always be bouncing around up in his head.

I'm sure many many people have their motivation tools up on the walls but I have never done it. However it's something I'm going to try now for sure. Just have to decide what phrase to use, or whether to just steal Josh's phrase straight up!

It's definitely working for him too, the boy has been training hard and working a lot. So hopefully I can use this tool for myself and not lag behind. Wish me luck wooooooo!



I'll let you know if it works.
