We talk often on this page about finding the reason WHY you want to transform your physique as being one of the most important driving forces for achieving it. To help with this, I once learned technique called the “Five Whys” and I thought it was brilliant. In short, you ask yourself why you want to do something, and upon coming up with the answer you ask yourself “why” up to four more times until you reach the singular most important factor that is driving your change. For example: WHY do I want to lose fat? - Because I want to look better. WHY do I want to look better? - Because I want to improve my self esteem. WHY do I want to improve my self esteem? - Because I want to be a good role model for my daughter by having a healthy relationship with both food and my body. WHY do I want to be a good role model for my daughter in this regard? - Because I love her and want her to grow up with a healthy perception of her own body and a healthy relationship with food. So in the beginning, a goal that seemed motivated by one thing actually turned out to be motivated by something entirely different. When you find your WHY you will find your INTERNAL motivation. Take a few minutes and contemplate the answers to these questions for yourself. What youll find is the deeper WHY that will fuel your motivation when your fluctuating moods and desires don’t. - Coach Mark
