Strange Motivation Techniques Hamish & Andy 29 July, 2008 - 4:09 PM

Today we talked about an email we received from a listener called Helen who has had a t-shirt made that said on the back, "Honk if I stop running".

Do you have any strange motivation techniques? We want to know.

  well on my phone i recorded my voice yelling "GET UP AND GO FOR A WALK YOU LAZY THING!" and I'm using it as my ring tone & my message tone...so everytime someone texts or rings me I go for a walk....(I get lots of texts from pals so i go for lots of walks)....

  My motivational excercise is that if I'm at home and a good song comes on the radio I have to get up and dance. It's a great workout and lots of fun, because who doesn't like to dance? Besides you clearly like the song anyway, so think of it as a form of appreciation.

  im an economics student, economics is about making choices. so economists have set up a web page that you sign up to and give a $200 deposit. if you dont loose the weight, month to month then money gets taken off the deposit. you also have the option of who the money goes to. eg charity, best friend, wife and even your worst enemy. my lecturer did it and he lost his goal weight of 8kg. its seriously good

  For every gram i put on each week i have to give my mum $1. I don't ever get money back if i lose weight the next week, so it's a total punishment. But also if i put on weight, the next week i put on weight, i have to add on another dollar for every gram i put on. PS: Love you both!

  To lose weight, fill a bucket with pebbles to the amount of weight you want to lose, then take out the pebbles as you lose the weight. Carry the bucket from one side of the house to the other every morning and night.

  - Get a big fold out picture of a giantly fat woman for a porno mag and stick that around the house/fridge etc you are totally revolted and go for a run.

  - get a big fold out picture of the body you want and cut the head off the woman and replace it with a photo of your head.

  -Ask yourself everytime you go to buy/eat something thats not so good for you ie gls of wine, choco bar. "Do I really want/need this? what are the consequences of having it? do I deserve it? If the answer it 'yes and bugger the consequences' - then do it! but if the answer is 'no, my butt does not need this choco bar' then leave it on the shelf. This also works with saving/spending.

  I programmed my alarm clock with my voice to wake me up with; "Get up! Get going! Go for a run! You want to look good for summer! Up! Up! Up! This is your conscience! Do what I say! And then I start singing, 'Beautiful Day' by U2 and 'It's my Life' by Bon Jovi... those songs are great to wake up to!
