Feeling Motivated: A Lesson From Existential Philosophy on Motivation


Listen Later

The question of motivation in the context of fitness is a fair one. The short answer, always, is “fuck motivation, fitness takes discipline.” Although true, that isn’t the point...we enjoy doing things with a happy attitude but that isn't always the case. In this episode I discuss the way in which I see motivation so as to always LOOK BACK and see that I was motivated! The key is to learn to distinguish between your feelings and your will. You must allow yourself to identify the difference between feeling motivated and having the will to do something. This lesson uses some of the points form episode 3 on Hegel and the will so I want to encourage y'all to check that out too. Please, if you enjoy this, or not, leave me a rating/feedback so that I can get this podcast to the point where it is helpful and enjoyable. Leave me a comment on Instagram at @o_moreno1202!
