During the pandemic, at some point, many of us have lost our motivation to eat healthily and to work out. But, losing your motivation isn’t necessarily a bad thing as your attention had to shift to more important things like staying safe and healthy during COVID-19. Now that you’re ready to start leading a healthy lifestyle again, here are some ways to rediscover your motivation.
Where’s Your Energy Going
Your focus has probably shifted from working out every day to trying to keep you and your family safe, and that’s not only normal, it’s helpful. You haven’t lost your motivation, it’s just changed and it’s smart to prioritize other things right now.
Manage Your Expectations
Times are tough right now, so lower your expectations and just do something to maintain your healthy habits. Just moving is a great step in leading a healthy lifestyle.
Take the First Step
Sure you may not have time for an hour-long workout, but even just five to ten minutes is a step in the right direction. You shouldn’t expect to go from sitting on the couch to running a marathon.
Create New Habits
Now’s a great time to try new foods, new recipes, and different ways to exercise. You may even find some new foods or a new workout that makes it easier to maintain healthy habits.
