1. Create a schedule: Creating a schedule will give you a focus so you don't get bored, frustrated or float through the day. Sometimes frustration leads to stress eating and boredom can make us eat just to keep our mouths entertained. 2. Eat Healthy Snacks: Eating healthy snacks that you can pick at tricks your brain into feeling like you are snacking on a junk food substitute. Fruits are simple sugars that will give you an energy release along with vitamins. Nuts are a good source of proteins and healthy fats.  3.

I am a mother to a very active toddler and now I have to motivate myself to exercise. Here are nine ways I motivate myself to workout. These are not unique to me. They are ideas anyone can use. 1.
