Ep 367: Throwback to Episode 23: What To Do When You’re Not Motivated And Want To Be

Start Your Transformation Now


How many times have you started something: working out, a new work regimen or wanting to do something new and you found yourself falling off track in just a few short weeks?

It’s not your fault.

You can thank the reptilian part of your brain for pulling you off track. However, that part of your brain is pulling you off track to keep you on track with your old habits, whether they serve you or not.

Most people think they need the motivation to get things done, but that’s not necessarily true. Wanting motivation is wanting to do what you’re not already subconsciously and “brain” programmed to do.


In this episode I talk about:

[2:14] What has to precede motivation if you want to stay on track

[3:13] How you’re probably starting in the wrong place “psychologically” with motivation

[3:34] What sustains motivation

[6:08] Why commitment most often needs to precede motivation

[6:40] How self-integrity comes can keep you on track

[22:11] Why motivation is driven by unconscious habits

And much more…


Stop working from motivation and start working from commitments and unconscious brain-based habits and see how quickly your life transforms!


Transformational Takeaway 

Motivation is sustained from your commitments, and your commitments are driven by your brain based habits.
