In the final episode of our Habits mini-series, we explore the crucial element of motivation: how to find it, build it, and sustain it when working to build or break habits. You’ll learn how to create initial momentum, keep habits engaging by pushing the edge of your abilities, and navigate those moments when you feel stuck. Drawing from insights in James Clear’s Atomic Habits, Adam Alter’s Anatomy of a Breakthrough, and Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*, I’ll share practical strategies to help you maintain the drive needed for real growth. Whether you're just getting started or struggling to keep going, this episode will equip you with the tools to stay motivated and aligned with the person you’re working to become.
