My weekly support meetings are now switching back to monthly, which should be ok; I like my group but I also know that I need to fly the coop as well. We had a great discussion about how to get our mojo back. Well, it wasn’t quite put that way, but it’s the same idea. I was reminded about the need to focus on internal motivation as opposed to external. This was pounded into my head as a grad school student working on my Med, but it’s amazing how I just forgot about it over the years. Maybe I was so used to thinking of its applications in the teacher/student relationship and lost the ability to think outside the box and apply it to my healthy living goals. It’s so easy to think of weight loss as as just about getting skinny and/or getting fit. When I focus on the lifetime of health benefits I am gaining, I notice I do feel so much more successful and resilient.
Onward!
