FIGHT FRUSTRATION WITH MOTIVATION

I know in the midst of frustration it is hard to be motivated, especially when results are not happening as fast as we may want them to.  Sometimes the feelings move past frustration straight into “pissed off” and angry about not losing the weight, gaining the muscle, losing the inches, or just feeling right out BLAH about it all.  This is the time giving up may enter our brain, “what’s the use” dominates our thought processes, and “I might as well go back to eating the crap anyway” defeatist attitude comes calling with a vengeance.  Before all that mental non-game takes completely over, consider fighting the frustration with motivation.

We are all fighting for our health and best self each and every day.  Health is a process of small steps taken over time that provide big results.  Just know that each positive change to improve our health IS improving our health.  That does not get lost and our bodies know that something good is happening, even when we are unable to see it.  It is during times of the unseen that we must have faith in the process and be motivated by the good being done to become a healthy person. Throwing in the towel and going back to the old habits that created nothing but unhappiness and frustration in the first place does nothing for me or you except rob us of all the effort accomplished so far.  This is not the time to quit, but to stand strong in your efforts, and kick frustration to the curb with motivation.  

Fighting the frustration with motivation will require an inner strength that all of us possess, and it will be a choice to love ourselves at this moment no matter what a scale says.  It will require a celebration of that healthy meal, that one workout, a daily goal achieved, that completed food journal, or whatever has been the most difficult struggle that was finally accomplished today.  Having a positive attitude will fight off the frustration one motivation at a time, and eventually and with patience and a consistent habit of healthy eating and exercise, results will happen.  If we begin to focus not so much on the goal, but what can be achieved daily to be a healthy person the tendency to become frustrated is also minimized, and replaced with feeling motivated.  It is at that point, the stress of trying so hard is superseded by an inner peace of doing our best each day.  When relaxation and motivation take over our thought process of becoming fit and healthy, it all just seems to fall into place, and adopting that healthy lifestyle feels like it just flows as natural as breathing.
