single day. Now, let's talk about something we all struggle with,
whether we admit it or not, staying motivated when the
couch is calling your name louder than your dreams. We've
(00:20):
all been there, right, that feeling of staring at that
to do list like it's written in ancient hieroglyphics, knowing

(00:43):
levels are at rock bottom. First things First, understand this
motivation isn't a magical fairy godmother who magically sprinkles you
with willpower. It's a muscle, and like any muscle, it
needs to be trained. So start small. Forget about trying
to conquer Everest on day one. Break down those big
goals into bite sized chunks that feel manageable. You know
(01:06):
what I mean. Instead of write a novel, think write
five hundred words today. Suddenly that daunting task seems way
more approachable. Right. Second, up, find your why why are
you doing this in the first place? Dig deep and
connect with the core reasons behind your goals. Is it
personal growth, leaving a legacy, wanting to finally wear those
(01:27):
skinny jenes again. Whatever it is, write it down, visualize it,
make it real. When you're feeling sluggish, remind yourself of
that powerful why. It's like your internal turbo boost. Third,
celebrate the wins, and I mean every single win. Don't
wait for the finish line to throw a party. Acknowledge
those small victories along the way. Did you actually get
(01:49):
out of bed and do something productive? High five yourself.
Did you stick to your workout routine even though your
body screamed at you to stay in bed. You are
a warrior. Celebrate those wins, big or small, because they
fuel your motivation engine. Now let's talk about the power
of environment. Ever, notice how easily you can get sucked
into a spiral of Netflix and doom scrolling. That's because
(02:12):
your environment is constantly influencing your actions. So make it
work for you. Create a dedicated workspace that screams productivity.
Tidy up, bring in some plants, put on some upbeat music,
Surround yourself with things that inspire and motivate you. And lastly,
remember to be kind to yourself. We're all human and
we have off days. Don't beat yourself up if you
(02:35):
miss a workout or procrastinate on a project. Just pick
yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in the game.

of your run, or your brain felt like mush the
night before the big speech. But what did you do.

ounds of will power because you knew how important it
was to succeed. That's exactly what we need to remember
