Motivation and realistic goals

Motivation and realistic goals

When the doctor warns you that you'd better start moving regularly to postpone the potentially inevitable consequences of your injury, it sure takes even me out for a walk.

I'd like to say that I aim at going out every evening but I know that's unrealistic. There will be days when it's pouring withrain. Sometimes I'll go meet a friend after work, and then my house chores need to be finished. Or I'll have a migraine/seizure/anxiety/depression day(s), and the only thing I can and should do is to rest.

Setting up too ambitious goals is a recipe for disaster. Just like New Year's resolutions. Those life-changing goals that we claim we're going to achieve are simply too much to handle, even with the best of intentions.

So, to make the journey more plausible, I set the goal of going out on 4 days of the week. That's a pretty good start compared to my usual 1-2 times. I still have some suspicions that I'll start slacking off but shame and punishment will just make the situation worse. I don't know how to turn it into a more positive experience. Maybe a special reward for being active 4 times. And some bonus for more. Maybe Actifit will manage to keep up the inspiration.
