Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast.

Who is ready for some Monday morning motivation?

Actually, oh no.

Okay, well, it's Monday morning while I'm recording this,

but this motivation can be used at any time of the week.

It's not specific.

But boy, do I have a great show for you today.

This, oh god, it's not a great start. It is a great topic though. So I'm going to go over the science of motivation a little bit. And given it is Monday while I'm recording this, I want to start by just briefly talking about

getting back on track after the weekend.

But this is also applicable to getting back on track after any small slip-up.

So let's use some examples from out with diet and exercise to highlight

just how silly it is to let one bad meal or one weekend over calories knock you off track.

So these are quite common, but would you slash all of your

tyres if you had one puncture? Would you drop out of uni because you had to do one reset?

Would you stop supporting the football team that you've been supporting since you were a child because they lost one game?

Or would you spill a little bit of milk and then just think, do you know what?

They just going to pour this whole jug of milk out onto the floor because, yeah, drop that little bit and it's just pointless

now.

It's absolutely no point.

And then the one that most people use is like, would you smash a plate, like drop a plate

and then just think, do you know what?

The whole kitchen probably just needs to be smashed up.
