Summary

Want to know how to motivate yourself in a self-loving way? Tune into this episode to learn practical tools for finding and creating motivation through a lens of SELF-LOVE, of course! You will learn how to... - Why you might be feeling de-motivated - Use a technique called “10 WHYs” to find intrinsic motivators - Employ self-discipline (but not in the way that you think…) Remember: You don’t need to wait until you’re perfectly motivated to start taking action. Imperfect, messy, reluctant action will often be enough to prove to yourself that you CAN do it, that you DO have it in you which creates a positive feedback loop. Micro steps over everything. If you enjoyed this episode, screenshot it and tag @maryspodcast on social media! And make sure to get Mary’s book, The Gift of Self-Love: https://maryscupoftea.com/gift-of-self-love. It’s a self-love workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself. Available in stores and online, worldwide!

0:00.0	Hey, self-lovers, before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to remind you to
0:10.4	pre-order my new book, 100 Days of Self-Love. After publishing my first book, The Gift of
0:17.0	Self-Love, many of you asked me for a tool that would help keep you going on this self-love
0:22.3	journey and build it into your daily life. This new guided journal that I'm coming out with
0:28.2	is meant to help you do just that. It's got 100 journaling prompts that cover all areas of your
0:34.2	life, body, identity, purpose, relationships, and more, and help you think about
0:40.2	how self-love fits into those through thought-provoking journal prompts, accompanied by
0:46.1	little excerpts slash musings from yours truly. So you can really think of this as a metaphorical
0:53.4	multivitamin for self-love.
0:55.9	I'm extra thrilled about this journal because I truly wrote it for myself.
1:00.0	It's incredibly representative of where I'm at in my life.
1:04.3	So I'm really excited to share that authentic part of myself with you.
1:08.6	100 Days of Self-Love, the guided journal is now available for you to
1:12.5	pre-order. If you're hearing this before November 15th, if it's after November 15th, then it's
1:17.8	available for you to order. And I know that pre-ordering is a little odd because why would you
1:23.2	buy the book before the book comes out? But here's why it just really supports me as an author because
1:29.0	it shows retailers that people are interested in this book, so they are more likely to stock it.
1:35.1	So your early support, those early sales just mean the world to me. And as a thank you for being
1:41.8	one of those early supporters, I'm going to send you the audiobook for free.
1:46.2	And that way you'll have the print version and the audiobook version, and you can follow along and have the best of both worlds.
1:52.3	Just go to maryscup of tea.com slash journal and all the links to pre-order are there.
1:58.3	When you pre-order, take note of your order number and make sure to go to that
