Motivation is a myth, more energy less fatigue.
The Struggle
Starting strong, then fizzling out when results slow or life gets busy.
Coach Cubs Solution
Identity before action: Instead of “I need to work out,” think “I’m an athlete at life movement is part of who I am.” Identity makes habits stick.
Build a system: Motivation fades; systems keep you going. Create non-negotiables (like brushing your teeth).
Track wins: Keep a visible progress log (journal, app, sticky notes). Dopamine drives momentum, release those feel good homones!
Accountability: Join a community, give me a call! plan activities with a friend or a family member, even virtually. Consistency thrives on connection. Human beings are tribal we crave that connection!
1% Rule: Stop trying to change your life overnight. Focus on improving just 1% each day an extra 10-minute walk, one more glass of water, one more hour of sleep. Over time, those micro choices compound into transformation. Small doesn’t mean insignificant it means sustainable!
Train your energy: Low energy days, movement gives energy; it doesn’t take it away. The trick: adjust intensity. If you’re exhausted, don’t skip movement scale it. Swap heavy squats for a walk, yoga flow, or stretching. Consistency keeps the fire burning.
Reframe falling off track: You didn’t fail; you paused. Life isn’t linear, and neither is progress. Instead of starting over every Monday, continue from where you left off. That’s how consistency is built. Not perfection.
