Where does motivation come from?

I get asked so many times where I find the motivation to go to the gym so often or sticking to my diet. By now it has just become something that I do, I don't need to push myself. There is hardly ever a time when I am debating "gym or no gym?". For me it is easy, it is always gym! Yes there are occasional days when i just don't feel like going to the gym or eating right, but then i always try to go anyways and I always feel so much better afterwards!

So where my motivation comes from? I have no idea! I also don't think it is motivation, for me it's more like a choice I made which has become a habit.

Below is a video where Elan, the founder of Sleek Geek SA explains this so well. He says that it is not about finding motivation, it is more about making a commitment.

So my advise would be to not sit around waiting for motivation to come and find you, because chances are it never will, and even if it does then it will most likely not last very long. Make a COMMITMENT, and stick to it and soon it will become a HABIT. Push through trough the hard times - it will be worth it, especially when you start seeing results.

So with this thought go through the weekend and start making commitments rather waiting for motivation to come and find you.
