Welcome to Episode 295 of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show! In today’s episode, host Kevin English is joined by Silver Edge coach and Program Director Monica Jacobs for an in-depth conversation about one of the biggest challenges many of us face: staying motivated.

If you’ve ever struggled to keep your motivation high when it comes to losing weight, getting in shape, or sticking to your health goals, this episode is for you. Kevin and Monica share their top strategies for keeping that motivation well full and discuss why motivation alone isn’t always enough.

Key Topics Discussed:

Understanding Motivation: The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and why knowing your "why" is crucial.

Creating a Positive Environment: How surrounding yourself with the right people and influences can make or break your success.

Embracing Challenges: Why doing hard things is essential for growth and how it can refill your motivation well.

Tracking Progress & Celebrating Wins: The importance of small victories and how to measure your progress effectively.

The Power of Social Support: How a community, workout buddy, or coach can keep you on track and motivated.

Falling in Love with the Process: Why sustainable success comes from enjoying the journey, not just focusing on the end goal.
