here are my best tips for getting yourself to work out and eat well consistently: Do not depend on motivation. Motivation ebbs and flows. It doesn’t give you the consistency needed to garner success in the gym, the kitchen, or life. Motivation is rarely present when you’re entering an uncomfortable realm—but that realm is precisely where growth occurs. Instead, focus on developing a new identity. This will give you the right mental framework to overcome obstacles, no matter the difficulty.
