You know you'll probably feel better afterward. So why can it still feel almost impossible to make yourself do it? You might be calling it a motivation problem when the real problem started hours before your workout. This week, a coaching call made me think differently about what \"feeling motivated\" actually feels like in the body. We talked about food, hydration, routine, decision fatigue, and what happens when you're asking an already-exhausted brain to make one more good decision. And it led me to a question I think we should be asking much more often: Instead of asking \"How do I get more motivated?\" what if we asked \"How do I make motivation more likely?\" If you've been frustrated with yourself because you want to be more consistent but can't seem to make yourself do it, this episode may help you see the problem very differently. Know someone who's always saying, \"I just need to get motivated\"? Send them this episode. For more practical coaching and resources for agility handlers, visit Canine Handler Fitness.
