Exercise of the Month - May 2010: “Visual Motivation”
What motivates you? Is it something visual? Is it something you listen to (i.e. a certain song or musical artist)? Some people simply need to read about a topic that inspires them and they feel instant inspiration. I was chatting with a client recently and she was part of the majority of what I encounter. Most of my clients are inspired more so from visual stimuli. I’m in the same boat. Sure, I get inspiration from certain things I read or listen to, but I think visual imagery inspires me the most.
If there is something you’re striving for (i.e. a specific goal), don’t hesitate to construct some motivational means in your daily surroundings. I have some clients post pictures in places they see every day (i.e. on their fridge) of what they are shooting for. One of my clients has a picture of her after completing her first triathlon, while another has a picture of herself bench-pressing a certain amount of weight. Find out what works best for you and continue shooting for the goals you set for yourself.
