What are you doing tomorrow morning? Maybe I should start with this very moment. What are you doing right now? What can you do to make yourself healthier this very moment? Put down the candy bar and replace it with some fruit, move away from your desk and take a stroll around the office, take the stairs instead of the elevator... or if you are on your way out, park as far away as you comfortably can from your destination and then walk the distance. It's these little things that count. It doesn't have to be painful and it doesn't have to cost anything. But the benefits are improved mental and physical well-being, improved sex drive, and improved mood.
So here's something to think about the next time you need some motivation: If you have children, a pet, or someone you are close to, think about how much more you can do with them if your health is greatly improved. You will be less dissatisfied with life and less "crabby". Improved health means improved life... now isn't that what it's all about?!
One last suggestion for motivation: Take a picture of your newborn baby girl, your five-year old son, your Irish Terrier, or your significant other and place it in your wallet, post as your desktop wallpaper, or place it as the background on your phone or ipod touch. So when you want to be active but lack the push, just look at the image and get moving!
