Four Strategies that Build Lasting Motivation (and How to Use Them to Achieve Your Goals)
When it comes to motivation—especially for health and fitness goals—being an "inny" or an "outy" can make all the difference.

External rewards (like compliments, fitting into a smaller size, or winning a race) might get a person started but long-term motivation depends on a person's values and processes for achieving goals. When it comes to health and wellness, internal motivation involves emphasizing current health and happiness instead of ideas about future health, fitness, and positive body image.
