Today, I'm going to be talking about why you should forget motivation and why you should just rely on these eight boring habits that I'm going to be teaching you.

Because if you're still waiting to feel like it before you change your life, you are going to be

waiting forever. Motivation is not coming and it is not something that you want to rely on to

save you. No one is going to come and give you clarity or confidence or discipline to take

action. So in reality, you don't need a podcast episode today that

hipes you up and motivates you. What you need is one that hands you a step-by-step system

that you can take action on. A boring, repeatable, unsexy system that works even when you don't

want to. In these eight habits, they'll change your life

starting from the moment that you wake up. And they're built to help you make success autopilot for you.

Let's dive into it. Let's talk about why I actually hate the word motivation and why motivation

fails. Okay. Motivation is an emotion. And I think too many people are trying to

rely on motivation before they do anything in their life. And the problem is you can't rely on an emotion

because emotions are temporary. If you rely on motivation to start, you're going to sometimes start,

but most of the time you won't. And if you do that,

you'll rarely get anything done. But if you rely on action and then momentum, you're actually

building forward energy that will self-sustain. And studies actually show this as well. There's a study

done in 2009 in the European Journal of Social Psychology that found it takes about 66 days for

a behavior to become an automatic habit in your brain. Not because of motivation, but because of your

consistent action and repetition. So you don't need to feel good or motivated to get going.

You don't need to believe in yourself to get going.
