We are smack in the middle of the holiday season, and as the list of Christmas errands gets longer and the days get shorter, it’s tough to find the motivation to make time for your daily workout and wellness routine.
By the time New Year creeps up and everyone is talking about resolutions, you make promises to yourself about your health and fitness goals…only to set them aside by February. Sometimes you need a boost fueled by a thought that will get your butt up and out of bed, and into your workout clothes before attacking the day’s craziness.
Here are some inspiring quotes that will remind you to think of yourself and your health (even if just a little bit), this holiday and post-holiday season.
On Staying Fit During the Holiday Season

On Following Through with Resolutions
Wouldn’t it be nice to finish off the next year with the feeling of successfully committing to, and achieving, your resolutions? That could even be a new resolution in itself! If you ever you’re your determination waning, these quotes will motivate you to stay on track.
“If you are persistent you will get it. if you are consistent you will keep it.”
“The harder you work for something, The greater you’ll feel when you achieve it.”
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

Remember that staying healthy requires continuous conscientiousness, and self-awareness. Finding and internalizing words that remind you of that can keep you moving and help you make decisions your mind and body will be grateful to you for.
