We've all ridden that wave of motivation to complete a project, pass a test, get that promotion. We've especially learned to rely on it when it comes to exercise. On the horse, off the horse, waiting for that drive to be strong enough to put a few solid weeks together.
But what if motivation was just a front? A Trojan horse even.
Motivation is tied to emotion, and we all know how quickly our emotions change from day to day, minute to minute. And the emotion that drives motivation is FEAR. Fear of failure, fear of not meeting the work deadline, fear of putting in all the work and not losing the 10 pounds.
When fear is the backbone for motivation, you'll always be trapped in survival mode. A level of scarcity that keeps you playing small and safe.
But what if you left the outcome out of the picture? Entered the space with no expectations and built a trust in yourself that is so strong that you know you'll achieve the desired outcome, motivation or not.
This episode dives into peeling away the conditioning we've all had and how intertwined motivation is and has always been. I hope this perspective that I'm sharing opens the door for new ideas and ultimately the results you want.
