Built With Bec: Your Health & Fitness Podcast

"Ugh, she just has more motivation than me."
"I'll start when ___... I'll be more motivated then."
"I just wish I was motivated all the time!!"

Listen, I feel like we all get it now - motivation isn't everything. But it also isn't nothing.
Today I want to challenge your understanding of motivation: what it is, if you have "enough," how you think about motivation in the context of your own goal setting, and perhaps most importantly... what to do when motivation just isn't cutting it.
