4个轻松的动机hacks

动机可能是善变的野兽。有时,您像老板一样完全在整天巡游,而其他时候您可以在下午4点之前上床睡觉。

幸运的是,即使您没有在游戏的顶部感觉,也有一些方法可以给自己增强。尝试将这四个简单的策略偷偷融入您的日常混音中,以了解最适合您的方法:

1. CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS

您需要定期更改密码以保持网络安全性,那么为什么不将练习变成激励工具呢?

在仍在投入大量良好的密码实践(即包括数字,大写和小写字母和符号)的同时,调整了您的组合以反映您试图完成的工作。奖励:这种习惯使他们更容易记住。

例如,如果您的目标是50磅重的二头肌PR,并且您想在7月1日之前将其压碎,请将其视为密码:701BicurlPR#50。或者,如果这是您对自己培养更多友善的一年,那么您的密码可能是:2017+iam+Love。

当您将其定期使用时,例如登录笔记本电脑时,它会提示您每天记住几次目标。这可以增强您的决心并保持动力。

2. RESET YOUR GOALS

NYU Langone Medical Center的整形外科医生兼运动医学主管Laith Jazrawi博士说,崇高,广泛的目标有时会有一个地方,但要具体和现实。“只是说您想变得健康并不多,因为那意味着什么?”他说。健身是主观的。能够在街区周围行走被认为适合某些人。”

If your motivation machine seems lower than usual, set goals that you can achieve in a shorter timeframe, he advises. For instance, stating that you want to swim a mile when you struggle to get halfway down the pool on your first lap will be de-motivating because you’ll feel like you’ll never reach your goal. Instead, time how long it takes to swim half a lap. Then, aim to shave 5 seconds off that time on the second half of the lap. It might sound minor, but it won’t be minor to your brain, says Jazrawi.

他说:“你的思想庆祝每一个胜利。”“因此,与其专注于遥远的未来的一次重大胜利,不如每天创造较小的胜利,您很快就会养成实现目标的习惯。”

3.写一封未来的信

当人们设定目标时,他们通常会记下自己的状态to do. But one trick that can be powerful is to write a letter from “the future,” describing your accomplishments in the past tense, and being very specific.

For example, instead of saying, “I want to run a marathon in the fall,” you would write a note that’s dated in October — even if that’s months from now — and say, “I ran the Las Vegas Marathon in September, and it was fantastic. I trained for it and fueled up properly, and I felt like I was flying the whole time. I’m so proud of myself!”

引导想象和可视化proven to improve performance对于运动员而言,并通过具体并想象自己已经实现了自己的目标(而不是一直朝向他们)来创造背景,这确实可以是强大的魔力。

Like everything else from food choices to workout options, what works for other people may not be what you need. But by changing your tactics regularly, you can discover what gets you going again and keeps you motivated.

4. RECRUIT A FRIEND

在密歇根州的家庭健康助手Erika Maastricht接受了无法康复的慢性伤口治疗后,她得到了医疗团队的充分支持,就可以实施的营养变化和锻炼。尽管这些见解很有帮助,但她缺少情感支持。

然后,她开始与明尼苏达州的一位朋友交换猫照片,这种习惯变成了日常仪式。有时,她的朋友也会引起一些鼓励,但马斯特里赫特(Maastricht)发现随机的小猫照片流更加激励。

“It feels like she’s thinking of me, that she takes time out of her day for these moments of checking in, even if that’s not explicitly stated,” she says. “Knowing that she’s there helps to keep me on track.”

另一位私人教练的朋友也每周发送几次短信,询问她的表现和提供建议。两位朋友的文本结合在一起,可以帮助马斯特里赫特(Maastricht)进行旋转或取消物理疗法预约。
