Live Your Personal Best  -  Workout Motivation and Routine Building For Current and Former Athletes

71. Lacking Motivation? Here's What You Need to Seize the Day


Listen Later

Have you been trying to focus on achieving your fitness goals by staying consistent, but you keep falling off-track? That’s maybe because you’re relying on motivation and not discipline. You see, motivation lasts for as long as it does, while discipline stays for as long as you want it to. For you to commit to your goals and execute them, you have to discipline your day and mind. 

 

In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I speak with Lashawn Gee, an author, a mindset coach, and a former athlete. She teaches student-athletes and young women how to activate discipline using mindset strategies so they can navigate academics, athletics, and life after sport without overwhelm. 

 

Listen in to learn the benefit of changing your mindset on how you approach your goals with gratitude so that you can achieve them with ease.  

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • The importance of preparing yourself for a life outside of playing sport by activating discipline during that career period. 
  • How to find energy by surrendering and digging deeper into your faith to persevere when things get difficult.  
  • How to tap into discipline to create healthy habits, long-term routines, and reach your life goals.  
  • How to activate your discipline by deciding to commit to your goals, visualizing them, executing the plan, and showing gratitude.   
  • Change your mindset and verbiage to do energetic things because you’re willing and are able to do so.  
  • Episode Timeline: 

    • [2:11] How Lashawn’s personal life, athletic life, and career life experiences inspired her to write her book The Jump That Counts.   
    • [10:23] Learn to reflect on what got you from deeper situations to help you achieve your goals.  
    • [12:30] How to activate your discipline with Lashawn’s carpe diem strategy.  
    • [18:10] How to change your mindset on how you approach and work on your goals.  
    • Quotes: 

      • “You either draw from motivation, which only lasts for as long as you’re motivated; or discipline which is instilled in us that were can tap into every day.”- Lashawn [9:34] 
      • “If you’re grateful for the things that you have now, then as you continue to take action, you’ll even be more grateful for the journey that you’ve taken.”- Lashawn [16:38] 
      • “Always remember to pour into yourself, reflect on your day and week.”- Lashawn [22:37] 
      • “When you fill yourself up that way, you’re able to help and impact others.”- Lashawn [23:34]
