Motivation forms one of the essential pillars of practice, supporting our commitment through challenges while revealing the crucial balance between internal and external drivers. In this mini-episode, I discuss how:

• Intrinsic motivation comes from within (joy in the process, self-improvement, personal satisfaction)
• Extrinsic motivation comes from external sources (recognition, money, validation from others)
• My running journey evolved from park runs to marathons, challenging my belief I wasn't "sporty"
• Finding your authentic "why" provides resilience when challenges arise
• External validation can kickstart a practice but internal motivation sustains it

Listen, subscribe, and share your thoughts about your own motivational balance in your practices.
