Speech: 4 Tools to Build MOTIVATION and Long-Term DISCIPLINE
Searching for more sustainable motivation and discipline?
CJ was recently hired to give a speech about this concept. This podcast is that speech!
Key Points:
- The Four Reward Systems:
- Extrinsic Journey Reward: Set a medium-term goal (4-8 weeks) and choose a reward for achieving it. For example, if you run regularly for three weeks, reward yourself with new running shoes.
- Extrinsic Destination Reward: Identify a long-term dream (3-10 years) and a corresponding reward. This could be a trip, a celebration, or a significant purchase that motivates sustained effort.
- Internal Journey Reward: Focus on the feelings you want to experience while pursuing your goal. Visualize the positive emotions and states of mind you aim to cultivate during the process.
- Internal Destination Reward: Reflect on the personal growth and emotional development you wish to achieve. Envision how reaching your long-term goal will enhance your character and inner fulfillment.
- Balancing External and Internal Motivations:
- CJ highlights the importance of initially using extrinsic rewards to build momentum. Over time, the emphasis should shift to intrinsic motivations to sustain long-term discipline and satisfaction.
- Practical Application:
- CJ suggests a visualization exercise to embed these reward systems in your subconscious. This involves visualizing both journey and destination rewards (external and internal) clearly and vividly, enhancing motivation through positive mental associations.
- Final Insights:
- Motivation and discipline are deeply connected to our internal states and the way we perceive pleasure and pain. By intentionally designing our reward systems, we can harness these drivers to create lasting change and fulfillment in our lives.
Conclusion:
In summary, CJ Ledy encourages listeners to reflect on their personal goals, both short-term and long-term, and to consciously develop reward systems that align with their intrinsic motivations. By doing so, we can enhance our quality of life, find more enjoyment in our endeavors, and achieve meaningful personal growth.
Remember to visualize your goals and rewards regularly, creating a powerful mental framework that supports sustained motivation and discipline.
