Have you ever thought that despite knowing all the things, why is it that you don't actually do all the things? Why does knowing not necessarily translate into doing? If you've had that experience, you are not alone, but it sure can be frustrating. 

But don't be, because on today's episode, I'm going to discuss the barriers to taking action. and provide you with six actionable steps on how to overcome these all-too-common barriers, including resistance, procrastination, and lack of motivation. 

I'm resharing this episode because it was so, so impactful for so many of you, and one of the most downloaded episodes since last summer. If you've already heard it, I encourage you to listen again. 

We learn to incorporate knowledge with repetition, and this might just be the thing you need to hear to translate all that knowing into doing. 

This week, I’m tackling another major barrier that people often face on their journey to healthy change: finding and maintaining motivation. No one will feel motivated 100% of the time, but there are some things you can do to help find and maintain your motivation to do difficult things.

Highlights:

  • The false assumption is that being motivated means you’ll be inherently driven every single day.
  • Why it’s important to manage your expectations about motivation.
  • Identifying your “Why” and drawing motivation from it.
  • How you can maintain motivation through reminders.
  • Ways to maintain motivation by building awareness and presence through writing.
  • How creating a routine can help build motivation.
  • Aligning with the feeling of achievement and success to maintain and build motivation.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
