How Do I Stay Motivated When I’m Not Seeing Results? Sep 2, 2020 | By Tara Schmidt (@taraschmidt)Comment receiving replies
People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing— that’s why we recommend it daily.

Be realistic. If it took you years to develop a bad habit, like over eating, don't expect it will be resolved in seconds.

They say it takes 30 days to develop a good habit. I seem to be able to develop bad habits over a long weekend! For me motivation has never been an issue. Though he has been gone for four years I still hear my Dad's voice in my head. "I did not ask you if you wanted to or not. Get your a** up and get to work.!" All followed by a series of expletives. Strangely I miss him.
And if I may I would add the topic of perspective to the consideration list though it may be inherit to "why". We live in an Amazon culture of wanting and getting it now. Health is a long term proposition that rarely has a 30-day payout. Though my heart was totally shot, I came into my transplant with a lot of residual health. I am convinced that my investment over the the years paid off in a strong recovery.
