Thank you for letting me share that with you and let's jump into the episode.
Let's talk about motivation. If motivation came in a pill, someone would be really rich, right? Oh my goodness. [00:04:00] Motivation is. The thing that we struggle with, right? If we want to get from where we are to where we want to be, I think most of us would agree that the word motivation fits in the middle. I've gotta be motivated to go from where I am to where I want to be.
Um, and, and I thought, oh, let's look up the definition of motivation. Okay? The, it's the reason for someone to act or behave in a particular way, or the desire or willingness to do something. So motivation is. Kind of it, it's both, it, it's like an action and like a thought. It's like that, the reason behind something or the desire for it.
Um, but it kind of is like that's what precedes the action. Here's what I want you to know about motivation. We're gonna be diving in so deep today that you're gonna learn a lot of things, and I can't do motivation justice in one podcast episode, so we may have to have a few, but I, my hope is that you [00:05:00] understand why you're feeling stuck or struggling with motivation in maybe a particular area of your health and wellness and what you can do to.
Work through it, right? To bridge that gap to, to get unstuck. First things first. Motivation is based on emotion in the moment. Think about that. You've definitely had this experience right? When we're motivated, it's, it's an emotion in the moment. And the problem with that is that it makes relying on motivation, unreliable.
Because we're relying on something that is very changeable, right? That fluctuates because it's based on how we are feeling about something in a particular timeframe. Motivation [00:06:00] is dopamine signaling. Okay? So you feel motivated with dopamine, you perform the action, and then you get more dopamine. So, so often we think that the, the motivation comes before, but I want you to think about this for a minute.
When you do something. That you are proud of, right? When you were able to quote, get the motivation to do something or take an action, what happened when you were done with it? It's almost like that motivation was stronger afterward, don't you think? Because the action is what creates the motivation. It's what signals that dopamine receptor to say, Hey, look, I did it.
I am so cool. This is awesome. I am motivated. So a lot of times we're relying on [00:07:00] motivation to get us started to take action when in reality, I mean there's a component to it, but mostly, I don't even know if that's the right word, but also. There's a really big component of motivation that comes when you've already performed the action.
I go to the gym and I, and I, maybe I, I was really struggling to get there and maybe I got a, a dose of something, right? Energy, motivation, whatever, and I go to the gym and I do my thing, and at the end I'm like, I feel so much better. That creates evidence that creates. A little bit at a time, right? That that like a little deposit at a time.
The action then creates moti motivation. I did it, I'm going to keep going, right? I know it'll feel better if I do it again. It's the same thing with anything in [00:08:00] our life. I saved $5 or I didn't eat that treat tonight. I listened to my body and I knew I didn't eat it. I didn't really want it, and I chose not to emotionally eat it.
I'm so proud of myself. Right, and I can do that again. That's so powerful when we realize that we're sometimes we're looking for motivation to hit before to cause us to take an action. But the reality is, is motivation. Like we said, it's based on emotion, emotion. It actually serves you better after you've performed the action.
Okay, but what do we do about that then? Right? You're like, well, great. I can't get to the after the action part. I'm struggling with the before the action. Well, let's back it up a little bit here. I.[00:09:00]
Are you motivated every night to brush your teeth? Would you consider that when you brush your teeth in the morning and in the night, and I hope you brush your teeth in the morning and the night. That you have to like gear up for it sometimes. I am not going to lie. Yes. Like when you're really tired, you wanna get in bed.
Oh, sometimes like anything extra feels extra. Right? But for the most part, you're not necessarily motivated to brush your teeth, you just do it right. Because there's a motivation on the back end to have cleaner teeth, um, not get any cavities, right. Have healthy teeth. Did we, did, did you hear what I just said on the back end there, motivation didn't come into play to brush your teeth, but it did come into play afterward to say, yeah, I like the way it feels, so [00:10:00] I'm gonna remind myself that that feels good when I go back and do it again.
Same thing with showering or bathing. You don't always get in the shower because you're motivated or like, ah, I gotta put myself up again. I know that there's like anomalies, but for the most part we do these things pretty regularly and it's not because you're like, ah, I'm trying to work myself up to take a bath.
Like, no, this is just something I do. And then the motivation kind of comes on the back end of, oh, I like when I feel clean, so I'm going to continue to do that. That's gonna be part of my life. Think about it for a minute. What are some other areas of your life that you have a habit? It is not a habit because you're motivated in the moment to do it right.
It's because you're motivated to do something else or have something else, right? That motivation is part [00:11:00] of a bigger picture, and it often comes as a result of performing the action. Still problem. We still want to do something. We still wanna take action, but we can't rely on, if we can't rely on motivation, then what can we rely on?
Because I've just, I've just explained to you that trying to rely on a. The best word I can come up with is wobbly, but that's not the right word. Um, you know, inconsistent, unreliable, source of energy, right? Or motivation is unreliable. And that's why we could probably agree that our motivation is unreliable too.
I just need to get motivation to this and this, and this and this, right? So. What can we rely on? I wanna walk you through, [00:12:00] um, some steps to help you recognize or help you discover how you can still do something without feeling like you have to muster up motivation or willpower to get started. The first thing, the first thing.
These are kind of interchangeable. Actually, I'm not even gonna say first or second. I'm actually gonna interchange them here. So one is commitment. I'm gonna, I'm actually gonna say one, the first thing is commitment. What do you want to commit to? Speak it out loud. I want to commit to, I wanna commit to a healthy lifestyle.
I want to commit to moving my body regularly. I want to commit to feeding my body with foods that feel good and serve my body. I want to commit to becoming a woman of wellness. So you're starting off by speaking it out, [00:13:00] and there's power in this, okay? There's power because when you choose to commit to something, you choose to do what it takes to get there.
You don't choose to show up perfectly. Okay. And when you commit to something, you are very aware that it will not be a perfect path because commitment in and of itself requires you to get back up and keep going. So you're going to have ups and downs. That's the first thing I want you to ask yourself.
What do you want to commit to? And since we're a health podcast in this arena, what areas of your health. Do you want to commit to? The second thing from there is to connect with that identity. Okay. We have to start becoming her, stepping into the identity of the woman of wellness. We want to [00:14:00] become so out loud.
You're gonna say, I am a woman of wellness who moves her body regularly, fuels her body with good foods. Takes care of her emotions, shows up in her best way, has energy for her life. I'm her. And if you feel like you're not there yet, I want you to add the simple phrase of I am committed to becoming her.
So that's where we go back to the commitment and then we step into the identity, right? I'm committed to becoming this woman. I am committed to making these decisions to, to connecting with this identity. This is who I am. If I believe that I'm a couch potato, I am going to make the choice to stay on the couch instead of go for a walk 99% of the time.
If I believe that I have no control over those, that bowl of chocolates in my living room right now or in my kitchen. Then guess what? Every single [00:15:00] time I pass that, I'm gonna lose control over it. Right? I'm, I'm gonna lose control if I believe that I am lazy. I'm not gonna get myself out of bed in the morning.
We have to connect with the identity. I am this woman, and if it doesn't feel like we can connect quite that far, insert, I am committed to becoming. Committed to becoming. Okay, so we have commitment and identity from there, we need discipline and structure. This is where the teeth brushing the bathing scenario plays, comes into play here.
This is part of my life, regardless of enjoyment all the time. Right. I have a level of structure and discipline to say I brush my teeth every night. I bathe every night. I [00:16:00] do my homework. I read a book, I journal. What are some things that you just do? I clean my kitchen. Well, does anyone have motivation to clean their kitchen in the moment?
Heck no. Every time I look at that, uh, the sink, I'm just like, how does this happen so fast? And what I do is I say, well, I'm committed to this, right? I'm committed to this. This is something that I want for our home. I'm, I'm working so hard on it. I want you to know this. It's not something that I have been good at in the past, and I'm working on, um, making my kitchen.
Clean before bed so that we wake up and it's fresh. And, um, the truth is in the moment, there is no ounce of motivation that's gonna get me to do that. Right? It's not just like, boom, yeah, I feel good. I'm gonna clean the kitchen even when I feel good. I don't wanna clean the kitchen. Um, and so usually what I'll do is say, okay, I need to, [00:17:00] I need to find a way to give myself a little boost.
And I'll usually throw on a podcast or something that like boosts me. Like, okay, I can only listen to this when I'm doing this. And then I do it. And the motivation comes after, see, look, it feels so good to have this kitchen clean. And I remember that for the next time. So it's discipline and structure. Am I perfect?
No. Is it every single night? No. But 90% of the time. Yeah. That's my goal. So we need to find some discipline and structure, and I'm gonna talk about that, like how to do that in a minute. But that has to be part of it. Okay? Um, remember, I'm not saying, I'm not saying motivation. We're relying on any motivation here.
We started with commitment, identity, discipline, and structure, and then. My favorite thing, momentum, right? I can find ways to make this [00:18:00] satisfying both to do and the results I get. So I just explained that to you with the kitchen cleaning analogy. I, this is part of my life. I don't necessarily want to do it right now.
Right? There's an emotion there that's like, blah, who wants to do the dishes? But. It's part of my life. So I'm like, okay, I'm, I'm doing it because it's structured. I know exactly when after dinner I do it, and then the momentum here is, okay, I'm going to find a way to make this as enjoyable as possible right in the moment, and.
Also recognize that like connect with that future me and say, I know how she feels, she feels good. She gets that dose of motivation and it's almost like that dose of motivation you get after performing holds you over till the next one. So it's funny 'cause I don't even know if I'd call it motivation, it would almost just be [00:19:00] like.
Ooh, what's the word? Um, like staying power, right? Where it's like, I like how this feels and I'm gonna carry that with me for when in the moment. I need to make that choice, right? And I've already made the choice because I have the structure, but I still have to do it. And I have to, and I can remind myself, this is good.
I enjoy this and I don't want this to become a. I am doing this just because I don't enjoy it. I think, I think there's, I guess we need to insert like a parentheses here. You know, I, we want our health and wellness to feel good. Okay. And I think that that's really important to not leave out here is it's a little different than cleaning my kitchen, although I do love a clean house, right?
And all this stuff and, and sometimes I do have fun in the moment. But the truth is, [00:20:00] when we feel good in our body and we can show up for the life that we love, it feels good. It's enjoyable. And this is a good example. I, I think might be helpful. I, I don't necessarily always love going to the gym. I like being there and I like how I feel after.
Um, but I don't know if I'd say it's like I look forward to the gym all the time. Um. It, it gets better. I do. Um, and some days are better than others in terms of like how much I am enjoying it or look forward to it. But the truth is, the things that I do there are what help me show up here and there and there.
Right. So when I have good cardiovascular health, I'm in the gym, maybe in the winter and I'm not outside as much, then in the summer I can go biking with my family. I can go hiking, I can go running, I can, I can do the things that I wanna do, right? I can run around and do those things. And [00:21:00] those things are enjoyable.
And sometimes those things are my exercise and that's good. Um, and so just, just remember that, that there has to be a happy balance of like. We don't wanna say, I hate this all the time because that's, that's just gonna be miserable all the time, right? But we can find some way to say, I can enjoy this in the moment too, right?
It's not always easy to get to the gym. It's not always easy to turn on the timer and move your body. It's not always easy to adjust meetings or your schedule to fit in movement. Um. You know, I really believe this with all my heart. I'm getting really off tangent, but we're talking anyway. I believe this with all my heart that, um, it, you should feel good doing the things that you want to do, right?
It should support [00:22:00] your lifestyle, and I think that's, that's so important and so valuable.[00:23:00] [00:24:00]
Here's what I believe with all of my heart, that the harder things to do, right, the things that take more effort and more commitment, they give back more. And I think sometimes we want to escape. From doing hard things, I, I think that, you know, health and wellness is, is [00:25:00] not the path, the path of least resistance.
It requires resistance. Think about strength training. Strength training requires your body. You, you have to resist the weight to essentially break down the muscle, to teach it, to grow stronger. And then you can do more, right? You can lift more, you can do more like it helps your body. I. I believe this with health and wellness as well, it's not the path of least resistance.
It takes effort. And if you're saying, I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do it, I don't, I don't wanna think about food, I don't wanna think about exercise, then our mindset needs to shift here a little bit. It doesn't mean it has to be hard forever. And we can get in a good rhythm and then we can find ways to push ourselves, right?
If, if. Food all the time is really hard for you, then that can be really overwhelming. But if you get into a really good system of meal planning and you know how to balance your meals, and so it's really simple, [00:26:00] and then you push yourself occasionally with a goal or something, right? You, you want to do a cut or you want to improve your nutrition, and so you step up your game, that's great.
Just, I don't know, I don't know why this message wants to come outta me right now, but like. Just know that it's not always easy to have health and wellness. It's not always easy to have sickness either. So we are on both sides of the coin here, but it takes some effort and my hope and my goal is to help support you in that effort to make it as.
Supportive as possible and as enjoyable as possible, and sustainable as possible. While also recognizing that you are putting in effort towards something bigger, [00:27:00] right? You are putting in effort, your daily gym sessions, your daily going through and marking your calendar to go on a walk every day or your daily, making the choice to not overeat that cookie or to listen to your hunger and fullness cues.
That's not always easy, but you have connected to the bigger picture and that's really. The core of where we're going today. I went a little bit off tangent, but, um, I, I hope you felt that and recognize that and that you're excited to put in some effort to support. The bigger picture here. So what can, what can we do if we're still feeling stuck, right?
We want to take action. We want to come into this. We want to create some discipline, some structure, some momentum on our habits. First of all, we've gotta decide what do you want? Don't do it because what she has or what [00:28:00] she thinks is right, or what they say it's supposed to be. What do you want? Do you wanna be a triathlete?
Do you want to be a generally healthy person? That is two very different training methodologies. Do you want to be active when you're 70? Do you want to feel confident in your body? Do you want to lose weight, achieve a maintainable weight for yourself, like a good weight for yourself? What do you want? Do you want to.
Do you wanna be 80 20? Do you wanna feel like 80% of the time you're doing really good and 20% of the time? Or do you wanna be really strict? Do you wanna be a bigger competitor? You gotta, you gotta answer that for yourself. What's important to you? What is it that you want? Sometimes the vision of health or the quote, ideal of health, it's not always really what [00:29:00] we want.
I don't want to do CrossFit at this point in my life. Maybe that will change. I never have, but that's okay. Right. And I don't really wanna do a triathlon. Well, I do, but I don't actually swim. So, um, and in the season of life, I've shared on here, you know, I'm, I'm going, I'm training for a Spartan um, race, which is an obstacle course race, which is kicking my trash by the way.
And trust me, there are some days where I'm like, I do not wanna do this. I do not wanna do this, but then I al I feel so much stronger. And you know what? That momentum builds up. The structure is there. I have structure of this is when I go to the gym, this is what I do, right? The momentum builds up and say, gosh, I'm starting to feel stronger and I notice that it builds up.
Okay, what do you want? What do I need to get what I want? That's the next question you've gotta ask yourself, and then we've got to become her, right? This goes [00:30:00] back to the commitment and the identity. We're deciding what we want. What is the commitment that we're making to it, and how can we step into the identity of her?
Who is she? What decisions does she make? Right? If I'm looking at myself 50 pounds less, what choices does she make that I'm not making right now? Because I've gotta commit to becoming her because she's the one that achieved that goal. She's the one and I'm her. I just need to connect with her, right? And then it really is this simple.
I know it sounds crazy, but it really is a simple commit to habits. That's it. I always tell, I always tell women, if you are frustrated with your body, if you're frustrated with your outcome. Be frustrated with your habits. Don't look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you're lazy. You, you can't do this.
Look at your habits. Get outta your habits. Ugh, I overate. Or, oh, I don't, you know, like I'm looking at my [00:31:00] breakfast. I'm not eating enough protein. Right? Get outta your habits. That might help. Commit to habits, find the structure. The discipline and the instructor to say, this is the habit that I'm committing to.
So for right now, I'm committing to Tuesday, Thursday, Saturdays weightlifting at the gym. That's like a commitment that I have. It's a habit that I have. And I can't control the outcome of how I'm gonna do at the Spartan race, but I am committed to say, this is the input that I have. And as I get closer, I will be having to increase that.
Um, I'll be doing some more running sessions and things like outside of that. But anyway, um, that's the habit and that's, that's like what I'm sticking to. Okay, how do we do this? Because it's really easy to say it. And then how do you actually follow through? First of all. For where? Meet yourself where you are.
That's a phrase we always say in our, um, members area. Meet yourself where you're, I talk about it here. [00:32:00] What is the lowest activation energy for you? Don't go from quote, couch potato, potato to, uh, six days a week. CrossFit Gym. Okay. That is going to be really hard to stick to. But if you could say, yeah, I don't have a habit of exercise right now, what is my lowest activation energy?
I can put a pair of socks and shoes by the front door, and when I'm done with lunch, I can go on a walk for 20 minutes or lowest activation energy. You know what? I'm just committed to having a higher protein breakfast. I'm gonna have eggs and uh, a proteins shake or whatever each morning. I'm just gonna commit to that until I feel like I can maybe include some more variety, right?
Because that's very simple. It takes activation energy is like the energy to get started, right? So how can we lower the energy to get started then [00:33:00] find a way to have it stacked. You've probably heard this before, but I'm gonna say it again because it's, I think we underestimate how valuable this is. Add a ha new habit to a habit that's already existing.
So for example, I have a goal to go on a walk every day after lunch. Well, I eat lunch every day. I, I don't, I can't think of the last time I didn't eat lunch. Okay? So I always eat lunch. So I just know after lunch I go on a walk. I want to. I wanna tell you, I understand that there are circumstances in life that sometimes make things a little bit trickier.
I have a baby, I have a toddler, actually, I think I'd call her a toddler now, which actually makes me really sad to say out loud. I. Sometimes she wants to go to bed before lunch, and sometimes she wants to go to bed like right after lunch. And so I, I have like a really hard time navigating. Sometimes she hates the stroller.
Okay. That's the [00:34:00] biggest thing we're struggling with right now. So for me to get out on a walk all the time, it's, it's trickier. It, some days I'm like, man, this is hard. Or some days I just say, I'll have to go later. Right? Like I, I adjust it. But I still have that habit and the goal right there, and I do it most of the time.
And I just want you to remember that life does come in and it's okay, but find a way to stack on something that you're already doing. So, for example, um, we have a woman in our, in our wellness hub. You know, she shares that like when she, um. I, I can't remember if it's like brushing teeth or after the bathroom or something each time.
Um, she does like a bunch of squats and pushups or something. So it's just like a way to move a little bit more. Um, and that's a, a really great idea. It just gets your body moving or maybe you just say. Um, 10 minutes before every hour I move my body. If you're like sitting at work and you are like getting, you know, an hour in you, it's like, okay, I'm gonna do 50 [00:35:00] minutes and then every 10 minutes I'm just gonna go walk around the building or something, right?
Or I already make my kids breakfast, so why am I not eating breakfast? I should be doing that too. Okay, so stack the habit and then just do it one step at a time. Let me tell you, I'm trying to work on pull-ups and that is not my specialty. I have never worked on pull-ups in my life, actually, and. I have to say, like at the beginning I was just like, this is really hard.
This is really hard. But I'm starting to see some strength come into my body and it's been really cool. I'm not, I'm not where I wanna be, but I'm getting closer. And it just takes that commitment and the habit of, okay, I've made this choice, I do this thing. Um, and I just do one step at a time. Hold to the big picture, focus on the now.
One more thing before we go. [00:36:00] Because I think this is valuable, and actually this is one principle that we teach inside our women's wellness Hub. We have a mindset mastery training because if, if you don't know already, it's your mindset that determines the choices that you make, right? Like when we don't feel, when we.
Tell ourselves we can't do something or we can do something, we're right, right. Or, um, you know, when we don't believe something. Right. That was why we talked about the identity and the commitment. Um, our, our mindset can really hold us back or propel us forward. And we have a whole mindset training to help you get into the, the mindset to.
Persist to keep going with your habits and your goals, and one of them that I love to share is about potty training. Okay? If you have ever potty trained before a kid before, you know that in the very beginning of potty training, it is [00:37:00] all hands on deck. You are home, you are not going anywhere you are.
Tuned into that kid. You are just, you're just all over that, right? And at first it's a disaster usually, right? And so you're just like, constantly tell me when you need to go, buddy. Tell me when you need to go buddy. And like, there's lots of accidents. At least this is my experience. Accidents happen, right?
And so. In the moment we're all in, we've gotta really focus on it. And then a few days into it you realize, oh, like we could go out, maybe we go to the park, like we're doing pretty good. We'll we'll venture out, we'll go to the park, we'll be outside, we'll go to the park. You know, he's doing really good.
And then, you know, within, I don't know, a week or a month or whatever, um. They are able to listen to all those cues and you can go and do anything you want, right? You can go out and about and their body, they know how to listen to their body to say, okay, I need to go potty mom or whatever. And this is the same thing with our habits at the beginning, I.
It's kind of like [00:38:00] potty training, especially if we've never done it before or we're learning still, we're kind of honed in on it. We've gotta go, we've gotta hone in on it and be like, okay, I'm gonna focus on this habit and I've got to make some adjustments. I've gotta teach my body how to recognize the cues.
I've gotta teach my body how to, you know, develop this habit and it takes some time and then it becomes. Just part of life. And that's exactly what we teach you in the Women's Wellness Hub. So I teach you, I'm, so, I'm just gonna give you an example, the the um, four Habits for Health Blueprint that I have.
So the first one is we start with movement. And regardless of where you are with movement, maybe that's already a really great one and you can move along to nutrition. But we start with movement and we talk about, you know, like. What's a, what's a good plan and strategy for you based on where you're at right now and what your goals are, and then you create a [00:39:00] commitment?
I. We measure that commitment by focusing on it for a little bit and paying attention and really honing in on that habit so that then you create a habit of movement in your life. And we do the same thing with nutrition, right? Exercise, nutrition, um, listening to your hunger and fullness, excuse, listening to your body's needs.
We do all of that by honing in on it and, and kind of we talk about, we, we. Teach it as practice with measurement, right? We're practicing it and measuring it to see how it's going so that we can create that as a habit in our life. It's, it's, it's fail proof. Okay? Because as we start to learn how to implement that into our life, we learn how to build that momentum and keep it going even when we lose the motivation, right?
Even when we struggle, because now, you know. What motivation is, you know what to do with that. You know how to support your body [00:40:00] without relying on this unreliable source of energy or belief in the moment when you don't know if you're feeling good or bad or whatever. Right. So I think we've come a, I've got, I think we've come full circle here, is that we can't rely on motivation.
Um. Because it's an emotion that is finite. We've got to look at the bigger picture here, and I just went through all that, so I'm not gonna go, I'm not gonna repeat myself again. Um, but just know that we can help you with that in the Women's Women's Hub. We can help you create this discipline, this structure, this momentum.
That's what you need. Because so often when you're doing it yourself, what happens when we do it ourselves? Nobody knows. We can just hide away when we screw up. Right? But when you can have accountability and say, man, I'm struggling. I need help, [00:41:00] or This isn't quite working, or I need a way to adjust this, help me.
Well come in. That's my expertise. I am a coach for behavior change. I went and got my master's degree for health coaching, right? For behavior change. I did a lot of research on behavior change, and I still do. To help you change your behavior for good and get the health results that you want. So I hope this episode was helpful.
