What Is "Your" Secret with Staying Motivated with reaching your goal?

TOPIC: What Is "Your" True Secret with Staying Motivated Long-term or at-least through your cycle/blast?

The Question: Anymore we see again and again people starting to workout and/or work on their diet routine (usually as a New Year's resolution but this is also common this time of year Crunch time for the beach),
but many quit and give-up a short time after.

Reason for topic? {let's talk} Why do we stick to it for years and YEARS when others can't stick to it for months or even weeks,
even though they were extremely excited in the beginning. (what happened to their motivation?)

The only way to truly get the body of your dreams is to stay consistent.
What is YOUR secret to staying motivated over the long term and how do you reach short term goals as-well?

What do you before a workout to be sure you are motivated to blast through your session,
with achieving the session that you're seeking?
(do you take a per-workout,listen to your favorite jam,or motivation speaker, tell us here?)

For myself. I don't think I really ever reach my goals because I'm ALWAYS seeking ways for improvement, Body Dysmorphia is legit..
I just the show the fuck up daily, I take the good with the bad and when I don't feel on point I still hit my session and just go through the motions..
Same applies in the kitchen, I show the fuck up with a knife and fork..​

Pussy...it probably shouldn't be my goal, but it is at the top of reasons. That and not looking like a beached whale. I'm shallow.

Who is anyone to take that away from you.. if that legitimately gives you motivation, then you take that shit to the highway and run with it.. I think in some aspect all of this revolves around pussy one way or another.. if all of the pussy disappeared overnight I probably wouldn't have half the desire to pick up heavy shit..

I don't do it for money.
Not for someone else.
And I don't do it because I must to do it.


I do it because it's what I want to do.

I don't have to think about it. I don't have to stay "motivated".


It's my life!
It's what I love to do!


It's like asking to a normal person: how do you breathe continuously?
Meaningless question.


However, if I have to try to give an answer, this would be...


You look in the mirror and you don't like what you see or the body you've got working so hard is not enough for you.
The question would be: what if I stopped now? and if I quit?
My body, which is now nothing phenomenal, how would it become?
We all know the answer: it would become worse day after day.


It would become a body like many others.
I would become like those I meet on the street and make me "suck".


Absolutely no, it's not for me. I still train even today! and I will go to train even tomorrow and for life until I die under the weight, with a physique above the average of the shitty people who needlessly crowd this planet.


Every workout is a step towards what I want.
Every missed workout is a step back that takes me away from the goal.


Without mentioning the sensations you feel during and after the workout. Undescribable.
A day without these feelings is a lost day.
If I could stay the whole life like in those few minutes, well I would sign immediately.

prob do it for same reason i'm the only guy at the gym that doesnt wear earphones.. focus and bullheaded stubbornness gets the job done, straight and to the point... i dont knock the headphone stuff, but for me its a distraction... can concentrate better without.... plus the pussy is nice also...

I'm 60 years old (birthday last week) been lifting since I was 18.I have done a deep squat with 600 lbs and I remember once saying fuck it in the middle of a warmup with 225 because it felt so heavy.Got pissed and walked away vowing to never lift again.20 minutes later got pissed and got back under the bar and did my squats.I now lift weights that are so light in comparison I'm surprised I keep going.My motivation??? Hell I don't know.It's just what we do I guess

What the fuck else is there to do? Troll a steroid forum?

Mostly its this pissed of at the world attitude that I can only shake for a day or two at a time...then it’s lose my job, go to prison, fail at being a dad cuz my emotions got the better of me? No, lift weights and smash the heavy bag cuz afterwards able to let go of the shit that makes me feel like a psycho.

I know you fuckers get it, otherwise body building is super gay

Train to keep my sanity. Being consistent with my meals however is much harder.

A lot of people fall off the wagon early because change is hard. Especially when they are used to eating whatever they want and live an inactive lifestyle. It came easy for me because I wanted it and generally enjoy it. Seeing what your made of, pushing yourself, and reaching your goals is motivating. It is so deeply ingrained into my routine now that i would feel lost without.

absolutely man and that is why people need to embrace it and make it a way of life.. because it ends up becoming a way of life.. not to sound like Mister cornball fucking motivator, but I think it's pretty fucking rad when I just see someone in the gym period, even if they're doing it wrong..
And I'm with you right there on the routine, everything becomes OCD, and sometimes people around me can't wrap their mind around about why I'm eating what I'm eating and when I'm doing it..

This is one of them topics that can just spiral in so many directions.. but I definitely value everyone's perspective.. I really don't think there is a right or wrong answer.

Motivation comes and goes. It certainly isn’t constant or a something that predicates progress.

Do the work of don’t. I want to be a doer.

without a doubt it is definitely something that comes and goes with the tides of life.. it's impossible to be balls to the walls Non-Stop.
