So. Motivation. It’s a real bugbear of mine (because I hate it when people rely on motivation to get things done)! And apparently, it’s the same for Carly.
But if you can’t rely on motivation, what can you rely on?
Well, we have lots of thoughts on that! In today’s episode we cover:
- Routines
- Habits
- Managing expectations of yourself better
- Giving yourself permission to make changes slowly
- Self-awareness
- Falling in love with the process over the outcome
- Pretending you’re in a movie montage (!!)
- Letting things go
- Set a reward
- Finding joy in the completion of tasks
Resources we mention
- James Clear: The myth of passion and motivation
- Smaggle: How To Stay Motivated When You’re Giving Something Up
- Kelly Exeter: Permission to make change slowly
