Listen Later

During my last surgery, while isolated in the hospital alone for days, I had the most amazing epiphany  It finally became so clear to me what the key is for getting inspired and getting motivated – something I recently had been struggling with and I know something that many of you struggle with as well.

In this episode of Bouncing Forward, I share the amazing revelation I had on getting inspired and motivated. I dive into why we should allow ourselves to get bored so we trigger ourselves to daydream, why it’s important to be in an environment with no distractions, and why it’s up to us to create that environment and avoid all distractions possible for at least an hour each day.

What I discuss:

9:20: The importance of the environment we are in

11:49: Why we don't day dream more
