Download or read book Just Motivate Me For Fitness written by Russell Cotter and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just Motivate Me for Fitness is the book for people who struggle with their inner motivations to become fit. Many fitness books exist will advise you on exercises and measurements. Many motivation books will stress the importance of routine, focus and goals. The challenge with using many of the books that are available are that they can sometimes be over-generalized. People are not all the same age, same demographics, same life experiences and circumstances and same challenges. Just Motivate Me for fitness makes two specific assertions that form the backbone of the book: 1. Motivation is deeply personal and one motivational method or fitness program most definitely does not fit all; and 2. For many ordinary people, it is so much more important to train the mind so that the body can be properly and realistically trained. While becoming a more deliberate student of myself, throughout my life, I began writing this book around the theme of developing a fit body through firstly focusing on the mind, in ways that did more than the conventional texts on exercise, diet and pure grit. I hope you enjoy this book that shares lessons and insights from my journey. It may not apply to some people, but for many, I think it will be the "book they always wanted". I intend for this book to be for ordinary people who are NOT fitness superstars, super athletes, special forces combat experts or bodybuilders. My book is meant for people who have varying degrees of disposable income, time and life responsibilities, people who may have had scarce parental attention growing up, people who try very hard and constantly battle disappointment in themselves and just think, What's the point? Sound familiar? This book is not designed to give you hope. My wish is that this book gives you some of my personal insights along with some tools so that YOU CREATE HOPE and CONFIDENCE within yourself and from that, you and you alone, learn how to train your mind to train your body. For me, this is the book I wish I could have given to my eighteen-year-old self, and although I have a few regrets, I think I did pretty well in my journey of developing a healthy and fit body, even through and in spite of the setbacks I experienced along the way. The content in this book is mostly anecdotal and based on what I have learned, through the school of hard knocks. So, if you need the books with all the buckets of research and graphs and quotations from various academic studies, then maybe you need to broaden your search. I wrote this book from the point of view of an everyday person who wants to help everyday people. People with hopes, frustrations, anxieties and complex circumstances that make motivation for exercise difficult to muster and to master.

Download or read book The Practice of Groundedness written by Brad Stulberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join thousands of readers and learn about a powerful antidote to today’s epidemic of burnout---and a path to achieving success with deeper satisfaction--from the bestselling author of Peak Performance "A thoughtful, actionable book for pursuing more excellence with less angst." --Adam Grant, author of Think Again Playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. In The Practice of Groundedness, bestselling author Brad Stulberg offers a path for which peak performance and well-being and fulfillment can emerge and prevail for a lifetime. At the heart of this model is groundedness--a practice that values presence over rote productivity, accepts that progress is nonlinear, and prioritizes long-term values and fulfillment over short-term gain. To be grounded is to possess a firm and unwavering foundation, an internal strength and self-confidence that sustains you through ups and downs and from which deep and enduring success can be found. Groundedness does not eliminate ambition and striving; rather, it situates these qualities and channels them in more meaningful ways. Interweaving case studies, modern science, and time-honored lessons from ancient wisdom traditions such as Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism, Stulberg teaches readers how to cultivate the habits and practices of a more grounded life. Readers will learn: Why patience is the key to getting where you want to go faster--in work and life--and how to develop it, pushing back against the culture’s misguided obsession with speed and “hacks.” How to utilize the lens of the wise observer in order to overcome delusion and resistance to clearly see and accept where you are—which is the key to more effectively getting where you want to go Why embracing vulnerability is the key to genuine strength and confidence The critical importance of “deep community,” or cultivating a sense of belonging and connection to people, places, and causes. Provocative and practical, The Practice of Groundedness is the necessary corrective to the frenetic pace and endemic burnout resulting from contemporary definitions of success. It offers a new—and better—way.

Download or read book The Motivation Myth written by Jeff Haden and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Inc.com's most popular columnist, a counterintuitive--but highly practical--guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things. It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past—and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams. Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration --as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe--but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn 2 million readers a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month. Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.
