Side Chat: Why you don't need motivation


Listen Later

A couple weeks ago one of my client's asked, "Why is it so hard to get myself to do things that I KNOW are good for me? I really do want to eat healthy, exercise, not sit on the couch binging Netflix for hours after work … but finding the motivation is so hard. How do I get motivated??"

To which I replied, "How about we start by NOT trying to find motivation?"

In this month's brand-new Side Chat, Kristen and I are diving into the perils of relying on motivation to get things done. We talked about …

  • Why we should all probably delete "motivation" from our vocabulary, in general
  • A much better, and more reliable, source of fuel for getting important things done … that will propel you whether or not you "feel like it" in the moment
  • How we can apply this new strategy to all the big areas of life – health, fitness, relationships, work, creativity, and more!

Come leave a comment after you've listened to share where in your life you've decided to toss out motivation!

FOREVER ALONE IS HERE!

In case you missed it, the first episode of Forever Alone, Rachel's seven-part miniseries about her journey through singledom, dropped on Wednesday!

It's available on the Clarity on Fire podcast feed, but we'd love it if you subscribed to the Forever Alone feed and listened there (then hit her up with a 5-star rating and review, of course) wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, Amazon, and YouTube.
