The new year has begun and many of us have set sporting resolutions. But how do we manage to achieve our sporting goals? Motivation is the key to success, whether in sport or in everyday life. When you are motivated, it is easier for you to achieve your goals and complete your tasks. But how do you maintain your motivation when the motivational lows come?
Here are 10 tips to keep you motivated:
1. Set realistic goals
If you set your goals too high, you will quickly become frustrated and your motivation will fade. So set goals that you can achieve. This will increase your self-confidence and strengthen your motivation.
2. Track your progress

3. Reward yourself
When you achieve a goal, reward yourself for it. This can be a small reward, such as: B. a new sports outfit or a delicious meal. This will strengthen your motivation and you will be more motivated to achieve further goals.
4. Find a workout partner

5. Do something you enjoy

6. Set small intermediate goals
Big goals can quickly seem daunting. Therefore, set yourself small interim goals that are easier for you to achieve. This way you always have something to celebrate and your motivation stays high.
7. Listen to your body
If you feel overwhelmed, you should take a break. Listen to your body and give yourself enough rest. This way you stay healthy and fit and your motivation stays high.

Motivation is not always easy to maintain. There are times when you just don't feel like exercising. During these phases you should be patient and not put yourself under pressure. Take a break and then come back to your training.
9. Find meaning in your training.
When you know why you're exercising, it's easier to stay motivated. Do you have a specific goal in mind, such as: B. run a marathon or reduce your weight? Or do you simply want to feel fitter and healthier?
