The key to not quitting when you’re in the midst of wanting to give up is to have a formula set in stone to come back to and remind you of your bigger goals in life. This can help pick you up on your worst days and set you back on the right path toward accomplishing your goals.
If you know that you’ll have a slammed couple of days this week, then make sure you’re putting a routine in place that makes it easy for you to do the things you need to do in order to work towards your goals. For example, if your goal is to go to the gym every day, then pack your gym bag in advance each night before you go to bed. If your goal is to eat healthier and avoid fast food, make meals in advance, or ensure that you’ll have time to prepare a healthy meal at home so you aren’t tempted to grab fast food instead. If your goal is to save money, then make a budget and put money into savings each week. The most important thing in this situation is to hold yourself accountable, set a system in place, and keep your bigger-picture goals in mind.
Also, it’s important to remember that if you are having an off day and feel like you need to rest, it is not quitting or giving up to listen to your body. Take the extra sleep in the morning, and make a commitment to yourself to make it to the gym the next day. Try not to skip your goals twice in a row, as this can trick your brain into thinking it’s okay to give up and there are no consequences for not sticking to your routine.
