146: Hacking Motivation

It\'s pretty tough to talk yourself into doing anything if you aren\'t motivated. I know. I\'ve been there. But I\'ve got you covered today with 8 ways to get motivated so you can stop THINKING about what you want & starting GETTING it.

\\n

For most of my life I desperately wanted to lose weight, I hated my body, had no energy and was tired of trying and failing but it seemed like I wasn\'t motivated enough to do the work.

\\n

So frustrating.

\\n

I know I\'m not alone. I get emails every single day like this one:

\\n

I look up recipes, buy groceries, fail at making them (usually turns out bland and nothing like the recipe) and don\'t meal prep so I end up eating out for every meal. I still hate the way I look and feel and constantly feel defeated. How do I change or overcome apathy? No idea.

\\n

I\'ll be honest, though: I love getting emails like that. I love it because they\'re asking for help, they want to make a change and I know I can help. I\'m thrilled that they\'ve opened the door for me to nudge them in the right direction.

\\n

Before we dive into the 8 ways to get motivated, I need to establish the fact that most people really don\'t understand what motivation is or how to create it.

\\n

It\'s a bit of a paradox. Most people think, "I\'m not taking action because I\'m not motivated."

\\n

The reality of motivation is close, but opposite: you aren\'t motivated because you aren\'t taking action.
