Think about the last time you planned a holiday.

Half the fun of a holiday or special event is the planning and anticipation. The anticipation creates excitement, which in turn leads to being motivated to get things done.

Looking forward to something is one of the key enjoyments in life and is a great way to lift your mood.

Plan events or activities well into the future. That way you can enjoy the entire process of getting ready and the anticipation that comes with it.

Even if your life isn’t as full as it once was, find something to look forward to. As well as future events, cherish what you already have and what you can do. Those people who can find pleasure in everyday activities have days full of joy and fun.

If you know you are going on a trip that involves activity, you will be motivated to get in shape. Not long ago I agreed to join my son’s Scout group on a hike. Just knowing that I had to walk 76 kilometres with a full pack made me look for ways to get ready. I increased my walking and scheduled some long walks with my pack loaded up.

When you’ve got a reason, you’ll find a way.
