Motivation is easier to maintain if you learn to love the process rather than just the end goal. (lemmy.world)

Exactly. Motivation burns out. It's why most attempts at dieting and exercising don't make it a month.

For best results, it takes discipline, smaller and more specific goals (e.g. "run this far per week" rather than "be skinnier"), and learning to love the process so that it doesn't feel like as much work.
