1. Firstly, You do what it takes to alleviate the fear.
\n2. Secondly, you rationalize the fear, accept the outcome, and are no longer afraid.<\/p>\n
In either instance, you stop taking action, motivation disappears, and the cycle will repeat.<\/p>\n
2. Obligation-based motivation<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019re motivated out of necessity. You continue to take action only until the obligation is fulfilled or until you simply don\u2019t care anymore. Either way, action and motivation will cease at some point.<\/p>\n 3. Perfection-based motivation<\/strong> \u2013 this is a BIG one many of the ladies I\u2019ve worked with have to overcome. You\u2019re motivated to take action only when things all seem to be in perfect alignment. You wait for the \u201cperfect time\u201d to get started (which doesn\u2019t exist), and then you quit when things aren\u2019t playing out perfectly around the situation.<\/p>\n Choice-based motivation is the only kind that exists from a place of ownership and empowerment. Therefore, it\u2019s the only kind that will ever last long-term.<\/p>\n So, I challenge you now to evaluate your situation around any health, fitness, nutrition, fat loss, etc. goals you might have.<\/p>\n \u2022 What type of motivation have tried to operate from in the past? I\u2019d love for you to shoot me a message and share! This is a REALLY important piece for you to be aware of so you can consciously cultivate change. What you CHOOSE will bring you fulfillment, motivation, confidence, and continued action.<\/p>\n This is certainly something you can apply to all areas of your life. I hope this resonates in some way.<\/p>\n Originally printed on\u00a0Move Well Fitness blog<\/a>. Reprinted with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n Maurice D.

4. Choice-based motivation<\/strong> \u2013 this is where you want to be for endless action, endless motivation, and lifelong change. Consequently, you CHOOSE to take action and that action leads to confidence, motivation, and more action in a beautiful cycle.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Has it worked?
\n\u2022 How can you CHOOSE choice-based motivation going forward so that you are finally able to not only achieve your goals but stick with the habits you\u2019ll develop through consistent choice forever?<\/p>\n
