We often find it more and more difficult to feel motivated to exercise, however afterwards it can feel great as the body reaches a natural high from the spike in ‘feel-good’ hormones.
If you are waiting for motivation to exercise then it may never come. Even professional athletes are not necessarily motivated to get up at 4.30am to train but they do it because of a value that they attach to it and they know that they won’t succeed if they don’t practice their skills. They just do it without thinking. The short answer to overcoming that lack of motivation to exercise is to “just do it”, without thinking about it – ‘Surf the urge’ don’t quit before you begin - just notice the feeling and move through it without letting it drive you.
Through the use of hypnotherapy Karen will be able to assist you with other ways off overcoming that lack of motivation to exercise and to make those changes that you want to make and allow you to become fitter and healthier, which will benefit many aspects of your life.
