21 amazing quotes to inspire you to take action

Action creates MOTIVATION.

This is perhaps THE biggest AHA! moment we ever had when it comes to ‘finding motivation‘.

The realisation that motivation isn’t some magical fairy dust that decides to pop in and say hi every now and then… that motivation is CREATED by YOU.

Created by the actions you take.

This month’s brand new theme inside MerryBody Online Studio is Action Creates Motivation. This is also the theme for our next 21 Day Yoga and Pilates Challenge (it starts 15 March 2021!), we run these every 2 months or so!
