One Year, No Excuses

Motivation Is a Lie (Here’s What Actually Works)


Listen Later

Week 11 of One Year No Excuses—and this one gets real.

This week wasn’t perfect:

·       Missed prayer

·       Partial progress on reading

·       Broke carnivore with Easter sweets

But instead of spiraling, I reset and kept going.

In this episode, I break down why motivation is unreliable—and why relying on it is one of the biggest reasons people fail to stick with their goals.

We’ll talk about:

·    Why motivation fades (and always will)

·    The difference between motivation and habits

·    What actually creates long-term consistency

·    How I’m applying this in real time (fasting,diet, podcast, and building my new TikTok channel: CarnivoreChris)

If you’ve ever struggled with staying consistent, this one might challenge how you think about discipline entirely.
