Hello and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Miscara, and in today's episode, we are going to talk about motivation.

watching some motivational videos that make you want to work harder and even push a little harder,

that can be valuable. There is a time and place for that. Or if you know you want to be in a

relationship, you have a clear sense of what

you're looking for, you need like a little extra boost to kind of get off the couch out of the house,

go on some dates. But you get to Friday night and it's like, I kind of want to stay in or I'd rather

series that I want to watch. That might be an opportunity where you need the Kool-Aid man
