Step 9 Recap

Step 9 was about transforming your relationship with exercise, leaving the excuses in bed, and stepping into action—whether you’re feeling motivated or not.

Here’s the breakdown on what we covered:

Part 1: Why Exercise Matters

Exercise isn’t just about looking good naked although that’s a decent side effect.

Exercise is the ultimate allrounder for your health.

Mental Benefits: Exercise is the best antidepressant there is. It sharpens focus, boosts memory, reduces anxiety, and helps with mood disorders like ADHD. It even protects your brain from cognitive decline as the years fly past.

Physical Benefits: Think better heart health, stronger muscles, a leaner physique, and a body that’s ready to handle the stress of life’s nonsense.

Stress and Energy Management: Exercise is your strategy for burning off stress and topping up your energy levels.

But you need to know this; It’s got to be something you enjoy—or at least something you can show up for, even on the days you’d rather do anything else.

Whether it’s weightlifting, walking the dog, or Zumba (yes, Zumba), find what fits your life and makes you feel good, were not judging.

Part 2: The Motivation Myth

Motivation is like your unreliable mate who shows up when it’s convenient but ghosts you when you really need them.

You don’t need motivation to take action—you need discipline.

Here’s the what you need to know.

Positive Action Fuels Momentum: Start small, take a single step, and watch how progress inspires more positive action.

Negative Visualisation: When you’re struggling to exercise, imagine the consequences of doing nothing. Then flip it and focus on the positives of taking positive action.

Momentum Over Motivation: Habits and discipline don’t rely on “feeling like it.” They get the job done regardless.

You don’t have to be motivated to move forward.

You just need to take the first step, no matter how small.
