Ever feel like you know exactly what you should be doing—eating better, moving more, getting your workouts in—but you just can’t seem to actually get yourself to do them?
In today’s episode, I’m answering one of the most common questions I get: “What should I do when I don’t feel motivated?” We’ll unpack why motivation isn’t something you can rely on—and how to take action even when you’re not feeling it.
If you’ve ever struggled with getting started or staying consistent, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need to build momentum and get results—even when motivation is nowhere to be found.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why motivation is the last thing you should wait for
- A powerful analogy that changes how you think about motivation and consistency
- The real key to building long-term consistency (hint: it’s not discipline)
- How to take action—even when you don’t feel like it
- A simple strategy to help you choose your next small step
Key Takeaways
- Motivation is a terrible place to start – It only shows up after you’ve already seen results.
- Results come from action—not feelings – Waiting to “feel ready” is what keeps most people stuck.
- Small wins build big momentum – Start with one non-negotiable habit you can improve this week.
- Progress > perfection – You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. You just need to take the next step.
- The flywheel effect is real – Action leads to results, which leads to motivation, which fuels more action.
Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve hit a wall, this episode will help you stop waiting, start moving, and finally create the kind of consistency that makes fat loss feel simple.
