You wake up one morning feeling energised and (finally) determined to embrace a healthier lifestyle — to slim down for good and feel truly comfortable in your own skin. Day one is perfect: slimming treatments, anti-cellulite massages, clean eating, physical activity… You’ve got it all covered! Then, little by little, your motivation quietly slips away… So long, good intentions! To help you find your motivation and hold on to it, here are our top tips.
Set yourself achievable goals
Let’s be honest — if you kick off a Monday morning with a healthier lifestyle and expect to have lost 5 kilos, banished your cellulite and waved goodbye to your love handles by Sunday evening… the disappointment is going to hit hard! To find your motivation and keep it, it’s essential to set realistic goals in the short, medium and long term. For example, in the short term, aim to be able to walk briskly for 30 minutes. In the medium term, look forward to smoother, firmer skin. And in the long term, picture yourself slipping back into your favourite jeans! Motivation thrives when you allow yourself to progress at your own pace, one step at a time.
Get your friends on board
If you’re struggling to stay motivated yourself, a great solution is to bring your friends along for the ride! When you’re all working towards a slimming goal together, you can lift each other up during low moments and you’re far less likely to give up. Going it alone, on the other hand, means there’s no one to cheer you on when you feel like throwing in the towel. And let’s be real — it’s always so much easier to stay on track when your friend orders something just as healthy as you at the restaurant and doesn’t cave for a massive burger… Right?
Make your slimming goal something to enjoy
Who said slimming had to be a chore? Certainly not us! To stay motivated, it’s important to weave moments of pleasure into your new lifestyle. Don’t miss out on treatments that let you work towards your goals while truly pampering yourself: cryo gel, night cream, massage oil with an irresistible monoi scent… Turn your bathroom into a spa and carve out some time that’s just for you!
For maximum motivation, take photos
To reach your slimming goal, there’s no need to step on the scales morning and night or spend hours scrutinising yourself in the mirror from every angle… You’d risk missing your own progress and losing motivation altogether. The best approach is to take photos regularly — you’ll see your transformation far more clearly and find it so much easier to stay motivated!
Stick with it for 3 weeks
Several studies have shown that pushing yourself to adopt a new habit for just 3 weeks is enough for it to become part of your daily routine — almost second nature. So the challenge is to keep your motivation going for 21 days, knowing that everything will feel easier after that! Use these 3 weeks to build non-negotiable habits: massage yourself with your Cellublue Cups every day, apply your slimming treatments morning and evening, rebalance your meals, and fit in a little physical activity each day…
Know how to reward yourself
If you want to find and keep your motivation, you also need to be kind to yourself! If that chocolate cake, that cute new skirt or that indulgent body cream is calling your name, go for it — and remind yourself it’s a well-deserved reward for all your daily efforts…
So, ladies — ready to find your motivation and hold on to it with these simple tips?
