I stopped going to the gym for 6 months because I was in an internal struggle at the time.

And when I say to people who see me as their model, that I am not always motivated, they don’t want to believe it.

But, it’s true…

What people don’t seem to understand is the fact that:

I’m not always motivated
I’m not a gym machine
I experience life and all the things that happen almost like anybody else.
I’ve my low and high periods
I’m a human being(Obviously)

Some days I just want to do nothing else besides lying on my bed and thinking about life and all the things I look up to.

I don’t want to talk to anyone, I just want to be alone with myself.

Whatever…

It all started with one day, and the funny part is that I was watching that day took momentum, becoming 2, then 3, then 10, then 3 months had already gone…

This taught me one of the best lessons in my life that served me from that day moving forward…

Here's the lesson I learned:

It doesn’t matter how consistent you become if you never build the internal resilience to keep going no matter what.

And that’s exactly what I call living in the house of card of motivation.

If all you rely on is external motivation, what happens when you face a situation that challenges your internal mechanism?

You’ll obviously quit.

That is exactly why the moment I realized that this is not the best way for me, I made these 3 changes:

I developed a fail-proof system I called the modern soldier.
I became intentional with my external support. I asked those around me that can support me, what exactly and how to support me, so I don’t become dependent.
I made some rules that I treat as my default actions.

Eating out: Protein first packed meal then everything I want.

In a hurry: grab a fruit or a chocolate bar

No time: 5-10 mins of intense exercise.

Thinking about it now consistency without being intentional is the biggest mistake you make.

That is exactly why one of my top approaches, when I start working with a client, is to go through 2 days in his life.

One past and one present and then ask him/her how would i support best as a coach in those two scenarios.

Why do I do that?

It’s not because I don’t know how to support my clients, but because everyone is an expert in their own life and can help you experience how to best help them even if they don’t tell you directly.

Remember, be intentional, and then move towards consistency.

Take the time today and ask yourself:

Am I being intentional with(Any goal you’re working towards)?

If not, start looking for ways to improve your system, daily actions, and support.

And please don’t copy someone else life.

Are you being intentional?
