Mary's Cup of Tea: the Self Love Podcast for Women

Motivating Yourself with Self Love vs Self Criticism (Encore)


Listen Later

Self-criticism is NOT a good long-term motivation strategy. Let’s talk about how to motivate yourself with self-compassion instead.


Tune in to learn...

  • Why you might be feeling de-motivated
  • A technique called “10 WHYs” to find intrinsic motivators
  • How to employ self-discipline (but not in the way that you think…)
  • Tools to find and create motivation through a lens of SELF-LOVE

  • Remember: You don’t need to wait until you’re perfectly motivated to start taking action. Imperfect, messy, reluctant action will often be enough to prove to yourself that you CAN do it, that you DO have it in you which creates a positive feedback loop. Micro steps matter.
