Well, I am not going to lie and say it is always easy. I think it is obvious from my roller coaster weight and moments of depressed shame, that I admit to being completely human. That’s right, no one jumps out of bed every day without some challenge to the motivation of continuing to move on in the journey that is health and wellness. We all stumble along the way.
However to answer the question as to what motivates me to get back on that path, well, I don’t think it is one particular thing. I now have a beautiful little boy, a new being that motivates me to stay healthy for him. I am what some may consider a late start mom I had Tristan at 35 years old. (In fact I did not know it at the time but I was pregnant in that Grand Canyon shot). So it feels even more important to me to stay healthy so that I can keep up with him as he grows and be alive and well into the coming years so I can enjoy my future grand babies.
I also have been one to try all manner of self bribery. Yes, I am guilty of hanging the cute little bikini out in full vision to work towards fitting a beach worthy bod into it. 😉 There is nothing wrong with that. However, the reward is short lived and the gratification brief.
I prefer the longitude of creating beautiful memories and striving to create even more. Then surrounding myself with those memories to keep me motivated. I love to travel, try new things, be at one with nature, art and beauty in general. So creating beautiful art in photos from where we have been, doing what I love, is a huge motivation for me to continue. What makes this even better for me is my family and I get to become part of the beauty together as well. (I can’t wait to share this with Tristan). It wraps up all the things I love to do with some of the people I love most, who wouldn’t be inspired by that?
What do you love? Think about it, and get inspired in technicolor!
Until next time, enjoy the good life,[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDcCUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIyc2lnbmF0dXJlJTIyJTNFQW1hbmRhJTIwSmVhbiUzQyUyRnAlM0UlMjA=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
