Feeling tired? Had a huge day at work or massive day at home? Maybe the kids are driving you crazy? And now you have to hit the gym! Nobody is immune to this feeling…but there is a way to motivate yourself and get bursting with energy.
Mental exhaustion is our mind telling our body that we are fatigued. Fatigue can be from both physical and mental factors and generally is caused from a low heart rate. Therefore, if we boost our heart rate, endorphins are released, thus making our body become energized and reinvigorated. There are many ways mental exhaustion can be improved either by yoga, sleeping or meditation but the best way is by speeding up your heart rate with exercise. It clears your mind and the endorphins make you feel happier.
HOW TO GET MOTIVATED (5 TIPS)
1: Make the training session fun
When we are social and meet friends for a weekly set, it gives us more motivation to attend and we are less likely to let our friend down. This maybe trying a new fitness class or new venue to train at.
2: Get sweaty
It makes you feel better, always. It clears your pores and helps your body to detoxify. Make the goal to get as sweaty as possible. Add a steam in at the end of the session to really invigorate.
3: MUSIC
Listen to loud and bass style music as it helps you to stay focused and on time. Try training with headphones when you are alone. This helps the brain to switch off to the outside sounds and puts you in a calm relaxed state.
4: HAVE A TRAINING PLAN
Know what you are going to do before you begin the session. Write a plan or follow a well-guided fitness program and stipulate to yourself before starting. Ensure you complete it all.
5: DO NOT TELL YOURSELF YOU ARE TIRED
You are not! You are just unmotivated. Say “Okay Belinda, you are not tired, you are not the victim, your can achieve and today you will! So get going girl!”
Health and Happiness always,
