How to motivate yourself?

Of course! If you're like me, you've been swimming for a long time and a lot of the meets seem to blend together. 1. Sign up for a meet, whether you're in shape or not. Assuming you're at least somewhat competitive, you'll make yourself practice so you put yourself in a position to perform well. 2. Sign up for an event you haven't done. I didn't participate in Open Water until last year and I had a blast! 3. Sign up for events you haven't done. If you haven't done the 100 *** in ten years, try it out. Maybe you'll surprise yourself and get a best time! That's all I have for now :) Thanks for such a hearty response! I have been swimming for long, true, but off and on I feel so sluggish that I leave it altogether..start all over.. leave it again.. start again.. Signing up for an event seems really great, and I think that would work well for me. Thanks!
