Summary
This topic is oh so good today.
People always ask me how are you so motivated to workout, so I'm going to share my answer.
The truth is I wasn't always motivated.
Maybe today you feel like I did and working out seems like a chore, but it doesn't have to.
Our world idealizes being fit with extremely lean bodies. I think this can make us feel defeated before we even start or make us quit when we don't see the progress the package or promotion promised us.
...But then we're missing the whole, real point of working out.
Too often working out is all about what we look like instead of taking care of our bodies (His Temple) I jokingly say, it isn't about vanity it's about sanity, because working out makes you feel amazing!
Who wants more energy, better sleep, less stress, increased cognitive function, and of course that beautiful God-given glow? I sure do!
Jeremiah 29:11 shares that God has a purpose and a plan for your life, but how are you going to accomplish the things He has planned for you if you feel bad about yourself, are too tired or lack the motivation?
Key takeaways:
1. Being fit is about living healthy, achieving your goals and how you feel – not just what you look like!
2. Know your why, what has God been calling you to do? What do you need to be healthy, fit and confident to accomplish?
3. Fuel your workouts with faith. Your true power source!
Faith Fuel:
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. – (Heb. 11:1)
I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action.
Nothing happens without action, and I'm here to be your accountability partner.
