Championship Motivation!!

Sheeps not so much.

You lie like a rug....

What are you teaching in the gym? Hopefully it's not the towel boys.

I teach classes at my gym, which means I have to show up everyday and train whether I really want to or not. I'm not sure if that's motivation exactly, but it keeps me going when I'd rather stay home.

Also, my gym doesn't get much contact with the martial arts 'community'. browsing these forums, and going to the occasional seminar helps me stay excited.

Sheeps not so much.

I chose instructor/classmates but I also include online friends in that group.

Bitty motivates THE HELL out of me.

And so does sheeps.

I voted for hooters, but that's because they are the solution to just about every problem that I have had or ever will have.

However, I believe that true motivation comes from the inside, and you have to sort things out on your own. Self-reflection can take some time, but it's the only form of finding motivation that won't leave you in the same boat again the next time you're not feeling like training.

How do you keep yourself motivated? How do you adjust your state of mind when training?
