how to stay motivated every single day!!!

Let's learn from Michael Phelps, one of the best swimmers in the world!!!
Quote from Micheal Phelps:
“The biggest thing is I talk about how I got to where I am—a dream, a plan and I reach for it. That's literally all - how I got to where I am. And that's literally just what I try to—get across to the kids. And, you know, they see that and, you know, the cool thing is, being able to, one, hear the stories about
things they've overcome. Two, the changes they've been able to make whether it's goal setting, whether it's eating healthier. You know, whether they become water safe. It's all these things and when you see the excitement of them telling you the story, that's the coolest thing in the world.
In peak training phases, Phelps swims minimum 80,000 meters a week, which is nearly 50 miles. He practices twice a day, sometimes more if he’s training at altitude. Phelps trains for around five to six hours a day at six days a week.  To give himself some additional entertainment in the water, Phelps listens to music during his long workouts with waterproof headphones. Swimming in the water, especially that long, can be pretty boring. Listening to music can provide that extra spark to your workout. There was a point he trained every day for 365 days a year  for 5 years.
   Phelps does long swims to improve his endurance. However, he does other drills to improve his swimming speed and form. He does a lot of vertical kicking and underwater kicking. To maintain his feel for the water, Phelps does sculling, which is a stroke in which you move your arms back and forth in small figure eights. Phelps uses numerous training gear in the water, such as kickboards, pull buoys, training paddles, and snorkels. These types of training equipment can put more emphasis on your legs, glutes, upper body, and abs in the pool, in addition to providing a great way for injury rehabilitation.
 
       
                                   Now, This is called Discipline! 
Golden Rule:
Motivation is just the first plunge you take to do something in life, But the fuel to move along the path of your journey is Discipline!
                                        So, stop seeking Motivation. 
                                        Discipline is the Golden rule!
