Finding and Maintaining Motivation for Difficult Things with Dr. Adrienne Youdim
In this installment of my Hungry for More series, 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 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.
