What is motivation?
Motivation to change problem behavior and sustain the change is:
Being willing to make sacrifices necessary for change.
The acceptance of the belief that if there is "no pain'' then there is "no gain.''
A commitment to rid yourself of problem behaviors, both now and in the future.
The rational perspective that it takes time, energy, effort, hard work, internal strength, and drive to change and sustain the change.
The inner voice of patience, self-love, and nurturing that allows you to recognize the necessary changes that need to be made.
A call to respond to the challenge of life.
Being willing to initiate recovery lifestyle activities.
Enjoying the changes made and wanting to sustain them.
Being unwilling to return to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Accepting relapse in the pursuit of recovery and picking yourself up to start again.
