We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what motivates them on their wellness journey, and here's what they shared.

1. Simply living your best, well-rounded life.

FOX

"Honestly, just feeling the best I can. I feel happier, more satisfied, I have more energy, I’m not bloated. It’s a good life. So I just remember if I push through, I’ll feel awesome."

2. Reflecting on the important things.

"I'm obsessed with my bullet journal. I created a page that tracks my mood, a page where I log something I am grateful for each day, and a page where I dump all my thoughts. It's been incredible to track my mental state and to go back and reflect."

—Clark M.

3. Constantly challenging yourself to rise higher.

"My 'in the moment' motivation is much more intrinsic. One day, the thought popped in my head, 'If you slack off now, the only one you're cheating is yourself.' It's so easy to feel like we're cheating on our diet, on our trainer, on our gym, what have you. But when you sneak that snack you don't need, when you skip the gym, or even when you wimp out of that last set or half mile, the only person that's losing is yourself. So that's become my mantra to push through my workouts."

4. Finding comfort in your own skin.

"What motivates me: to feel more energized, to be stronger, and to feel more comfortable and happy with the skin that I'm in."

5. Being a healthy example for your little ones.

FOX

"My daughter motivates me to eat better. She's only 17 months old, but I want her to grow up eating healthy. I'm trying new recipes every day — some great, some not so much, but I'm trying for both of us."

6. Taking a few mindful minutes to yourself to reset and realign.

"I grew up in a family who believed in practicing meditation every day, but as a youngster I didn't really get it. After speaking with my parents during a mentally foggy time for me, they reminded me of the different methods of meditation that could help. As time went on, I felt my head clearing and noticed an improvement in my mood and realized that taking the time to remove yourself from a situation can truly affect your state of mind."

—Jasmin S.

7. Setting small goals within a larger routine.

CW

"I create new mini fitness goals, creative 'clean' recipes, and ways to keep zen so I’m not stressed. It’s a lot of work, but it’s great once it [becomes] routine."

—shanetreeds

8. Creating a better life for yourself and your loved ones.

"I wake up, meditate, make smoothie bowls for my little one and I. We go on walks together, and it’s just an overall good time with him. He makes it fun to be healthy, and it keeps me calm and levelheaded throughout the day."

—TeelVans

9. Using organization and tracking as a form of creative expression.

"I love bullet journaling because it helps me stay organized, track my mood and habits, and remember important events, all while being creative. The act of plotting out a week's layout is both challenging and relaxing, but nothing beats sitting down on a Sunday night for a few hours and focusing just on the journal — it establishes a blank slate for the coming week and reminds me to stay mindful."

—Dan T.

10. Setting your eyes on a long-term career goal.

"What motivates me is the ability to be able to join the Army National Guard. It has been a long-term goal, and every healthy choice gets me one step closer."

—jackieh85

11. Switching up your lifestyle for a greater cause.

NBC

"I've found that changes in my lifestyle that have positively affected my wellness — going vegan, meditating, living zero waste, and now ASMR (go figure) — have all been a direct result of learning more of my direct impact on something I love: the ocean."

—Jess M.
