Finding the motivation to move and exercise can sometimes be almost impossible... 

So often I hear people say, “Oh I don’t have time” and “I’m just too busy.” Believe me when I tell you, that I am one of them! 

I catch myself about to say that or at least say it in my head a lot, and I always try and catch myself. 

Why? Because it is an easy way out. It's not really “I don't have the time” (yes, I've been busy, but I can make time) but by saying “I'm busy”, it's like everything is forgiven and we never have to step out of our comfort zone. 

So we come up with excuse after excuse and sometimes we even dilly-dally and do something ELSE to occupy our time (like checking social media) instead of committing to the action.

I think the problem is that when we start coming up with excuses, there's really something more.

There's something you are trying to avoid even if you know that that it could be very beneficial to do. But it comes that voice, "Ooh, it's probably too much work or too much commitment."

If there is something you are trying to avoid my suggestion is to DO SOMETHING SIMPLE. 

Get up and move! 

It doesn't need to be long, it doesn't need to be complicated.

Like for me, if I don't feel like doing yoga, and once in a while it happens, I just jump on the trampoline for a couple of minutes! Almost always, I then feel ready to commit to my yoga practice, or swimming, or meditation. 

Jumping gets me over the hard part - the motivation to GET UP AND MOVE. Once I am up, I’m good to go!

Sometimes I just get stuck listening to my own inner-dialogue. It is amazing how simple an action can be to get us back on track! 

I challenge you to try this the next time you catch yourself coming up with excuses out of something. Just stand up, and do something simple. See where it leads you! 

I’d love for you to let me know if you liked this video and if you are trying this trick in the comments!
