In conquering motivational obstacles, there is one thing that stands as your steadfast ally.

It adds a layer of commitment beyond your own intentions.

Picture this scenario.

It's almost noon and you've made a promise to yourself to take a quick walk during your lunch break.

You know it's good for your wellbeing and you genuinely want to incorporate more movement into your day.

However, as the clock strikes twelve, your overflowing inbox and mounting tasks overshadow your initial enthusiasm.

You find yourself debating whether to skip the walk just this once.

Sound familiar?

We've all been there, witness to the clash between our best intentions and our daily responsibilities.

It's easy to tell ourselves that we'll make up for it later or go for a walk tomorrow when things are less hectic.

Let's add a twist now.

Imagine the same situation, the same pressing workload and the same temptation to skip the walk.

This time, however, you've committed to meet a colleague outside for that lunchtime walk.

This changes things.

The idea of cancelling or postponing becomes less enticing.

You know your colleague is waiting and you have made a pact to move together.

Despite the to-do list and the emails beckoning from your desk, the thought of breaking your commitment and letting your colleague down compels you to get up, put on your sneakers and step outside.

What happened here?

Press the play button above to discover five ideas to add this essential ‘motivation’ ingredient to your week.

Keep moving,
