Hey everyone, this is episode number 22 of the Absolute Mind podcast,

and today I will be talking all about motivation to exercise more.

If you've got a distinct lack of motivation, there are a few changes that you can make to get

yourself up and out and start seeing that difference that you really want to. You've still got time

before Christmas so why not get started now

rather than put it off until new year. Thankfully as we get more motivated to exercise it does

become easier so the more you do it the easier it becomes so the sooner you start to make a change

the easier it will be. As always at the end of this podcast, there will be

a hypnosis section which you can all keep and continue to listen to from this day forth,

which is going to help you on your journey towards your motivation building for exercising.

So what will today's podcast cover? Today I'm going to cover what is motivation. Why do we lose

motivation? How we can regain that motivation and how we can keep it up. And also I'll be skimming

over the benefits of exercise just to give you that little bit more of a boost to keep you on

track of getting your motivation built up. Okay, so what is motivation?

Motivation is an internal or external factor that stimulates a desire and an energy within us

to be continually interested in something. So we all need motivation for everything. We need it for

our jobs. We need it for our jobs. We need it for

our family lives, our day-to-day life. And it's the same within exercise. We need to have that

passion. We need to have that interest and be committed to exercise on a daily basis.
