Summary

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you started something: working out, a new work regimen or wanting to do something new and you found yourself falling off track in just a few short weeks? It’s not your fault. You can thank the reptilian part of your brain for pulling you off track. However, that part of your brain is pulling you off track to keep you on track with your old habits, whether they serve you or not. Most people think they need the motivation to get things done, but that’s not necessarily true. Wanting motivation is wanting to do what you’re not already subconsciously and “brain” programmed to do. In this episode I talk about: [2:14] What has to precede motivation if you want to stay on track [3:13] How you’re probably starting in the wrong place “psychologically” with motivation [3:34] What sustains motivation [6:08] Why commitment most often needs to precede motivation [6:40] How self-integrity comes can keep you on track [22:11] Why motivation is driven by unconscious habits And much more… Stop working from motivation and start working from commitments and unconscious brain-based habits and see how quickly your life transforms! Transformational Takeaway Motivation is sustained from your commitments, and your commitments are driven by your brain based habits.

0:13.0	You know, we've all been there before.
0:14.3	We all said things like, you know, I really want to work out, and I really want to get in shape,
0:19.0	and I really want to be healthy, but it's cold out, or I'm too lazy today, or I'd rather do X, Y, Z, or I don't feel like it,
0:26.7	or whatever it might be. In this episode, I talk about why when we think we want to do something,
0:33.5	but we don't have the motivation, I talk about how that happens, where it comes from, and how to
0:38.9	bust out of that. Here's what I want to share with you in the introduction. Many times people
0:43.5	want the motivation without recognizing that commitment and self-discipline come before the motivation.
