We’re officially in Week 4 of the Summer Shape Up Challenge, and if you’re feeling your motivation fading or you’re not as fired up as you were in Week 1, that’s okay!
It’s common for motivation to fade but it is SO important to get on top of it so you can continue to crush your goals. This is where real transformation happens, not just in your body, but in your mindset.
Here are tips for how to reset your mindset so you can finish out these last few weeks STRONG!
1. Ditch the “All or Nothing” Mentality
Missed a workout? Ate something not on your plan? Skipped your steps one day?
That’s okay. Things happen. You’re human.
This challenge is not about being perfect. It’s about building consistency and showing up again and again, even after a setback. One day off doesn’t undo all your progress. Quitting does. Let go of the guilt and keep moving forward.
2. Focus on Non-Scale Wins
The scale is only one (very small) measure of success. What else has shifted?
-
Are your energy levels higher?
-
Are you sleeping better?
-
Are your cravings more manageable?
-
Have you stuck to your goals longer than ever before?
These wins matter. Actually, they matter more. Start tracking the progress you feel, not just what you see.
3. Revisit Your “Why”
You started this challenge for a reason. Maybe it was to feel more confident. To boost your energy. To finally stick with a plan.
Take a few minutes today to reconnect with your WHY. Write it down. Say it out loud. Put it on a sticky note and place it somewhere you will see for the rest of this challenge. When motivation fades, your WHY is what keeps you going.
4. Shift from Outcome to Identity
Instead of saying “I want to lose weight,” say “I’m becoming someone who prioritizes her health.”
Instead of “I want to be fit,” say “I’m the kind of woman who doesn’t quit on herself.”
Shifting your focus from what you want to who you’re becoming is powerful. It makes your daily habits feel more like who you are instead of what you’re doing.
5. Celebrate How Far You’ve Come
You’ve made it to Week 4. That’s a big deal. Most people don’t even take the step and start. But you did. You showed up. And you’re still showing up.
Take a moment and be proud of that. Then use it as proof that you can finish this challenge stronger than you started.
Ready for Your Reset?
Let this be your moment to reset, refocus, and keep pushing forward. You’ve come too far to stop now. Let’s finish these final few weeks with intention, strength, and confidence.
You got this.
