Motivation for exercise can come in many different forms. Here’s advice from experts on how to make 2023 the year you get moving.
If you have trouble sticking to an exercise habit or routine, go easy on yourself. Your struggle may be because exercise feels like punishment, instead of something motivating.
Practicing self-compassion — which means being kind to yourself — can actually help you achieve your goals. “We know from research that the number one reason people aren’t self-compassionate is because they are afraid it will undermine their motivation,” saidBut that thinking is wrong, Neff said. A study under review found that when college athletes were taught to be more self-compassionate, their athletic performance improved, said Neff, author of the book ““Making changes with encouragement and kindness is a lot more effective than making change through criticism,” she said.
“What types of things would you say to let them know that you believed in them, and that you were there to support them?” Neff said. “Then say something similar to yourself.”“If you do fall off the wagon, which many do, that’s how goals work, we often don’t achieve them,” Milkman said. “That’s part of setting goals. There are other fresh starts around the corner. So don’t give up on yourself completely.”Well+Being shares news and advice for living well every day.
