Summary

Some days, motivation is hard to come by…

So what do you do when the drive just isn’t there?

Instead of relying on fleeting inspiration, it’s time to create a strategy that ensures progress—no matter what life throws your way.

On today’s show, I’ll explain why setting standards—not just goals—is the real key to lasting transformation.

By shifting your identity and building non-negotiable daily habits, you can take consistent action regardless of how you feel.

Tune in to Cabral Concept 3447 as we flip the script on motivation and explore what truly works instead. Enjoy the show—and let me know what resonates!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cabral concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral,
0:05.8	shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life
0:10.9	full of energy and passion with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy and
0:16.7	engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.
0:26.5	All right, everybody, welcome back to the show. Great to be here, as always, on a brand new mindset and motivation Monday. But today I want to go beyond motivation. I want to share with you how to
0:31.3	flip the script on your own emotions for the days that you don't necessarily want to go after your dreams, go after your goals,
0:39.6	but instead you set up a backup plan for the days where you just don't have the energy,
0:44.6	you just don't have the willpower or the motivation. So here's what we're going to do.
0:48.6	We're going to set, instead of goals, we're going to set standards. This is a huge difference.
0:53.6	We've touched us in the past,

1:12.3	standards, their standards of living. This is just how they act. The discipline they use doesn't
1:18.1	have to be forced because it's ultimately who they are. So how does that come about? Well,
1:23.9	it's difficult because when you think about it, you have to say, okay, well, standards are really the same thing as motivation or discipline.
1:32.6	It's just getting things done even when you don't want to.
1:35.3	True, but it's a different wiring, meaning that goals are when you aspire to something.
1:41.3	But you also believe that you don't have it yet, right?
1:45.9	So let's just say the goal is to lose 20 pounds. Very realistic goal, right? Or the goal is to overcome an autoimmune issue. You can
1:51.6	certainly do that. There's no doubt about it. It's going to take you most likely three to six months,
