How to Find Motivation Using Mindset Workouts
It’s not about forcing it — it’s about shifting your state. We all have those days. You’ve got stuff to do. Big dreams. A list of goals. But your energy? Nowhere to be found. Motivation? Missing in action. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or just trying to stay on top of work, workouts, and life — feeling unmotivated can be really frustrating. But here's the good news: motivation isn’t something you have to wait around for. You can actually create it — and our Mindset Workout methods are designed to help you do just that. First, let’s get real about motivation. Most of us think motivation is a feeling. Something we should have before we start. But in reality? Motivation usually shows up after we move.It ’s a response, not a requirement. That’s where the Mindset Workouts come in — they're not just nice meditations or relaxing breathwork (though they do help you feel calm). They're tools to help you shift your state, rewire your thoughts, and build real momentum. Here’s how it works: 1. Mindset Cardio: For when you’re feeling stuck or sluggish This is your energy boost. Breathwork techniques (like the Wim Hof method or active breath patterns) help stimulate your nervous system, clear mental fog, and wake up your body. Use it when: You’re procrastinating You’re mentally or physically drained You can’t get going but know you want to Even just 3 rounds of deep breathwork can move you from flat to focused. Try it before your day starts or when that afternoon slump kicks in.
2. Mindset Conditioning: For when self-doubt creeps in This is your mental gym . Here, we use guided visualisations, hypno-meditations, and other subconscious tools to reset your inner world. It’s where you reframe your thoughts, calm the noise, and reconnect with the version of you that knows you can do this. Use it when: You’re overthinking or second-guessing yourself You feel overwhelmed by pressure or expectation You need to get back into “why you started” mode Even just 5–10 minutes can realign your head and heart — and get you back into a state where motivation flows more naturally.

3. Mindset Drills: For when you need to show up strong This is where we get practical. Drills like priming, confidence sliders, mental rehearsal, and anchoring help you lock into your best mindset fast. Use it when: You’ve got something big coming up (a game, a pitch, a hard convo) You’re nervous or not feeling “good enough” You need to switch from everyday you into “next-level” you It’s mental performance training — but made simple, doable, and real. Here's our friend, Heavyweight Boxer, Johnny Fisher talking to us about using music as his priming trigger:
The goal? Motivation on demand. These tools aren’t just for elite athletes (though they use them too). They’re for anyone who wants to feel more in control of their mindset and less reliant on motivation magically turning up. Start small. Try one method when you next feel stuck — and notice how quickly things shift. Need help? Come to a Mindset Workout or book in a 1:1 session for a deeper dive. You don’t need to feel ready. You just need a way to move .
