Summary
Today we are exploring the difference between fear-based and desire-based motivation, highlighting being in fight or flight (motivated by fear) can lead to a cycle of stress and burnout. I encourage you to recognize your resistance to change and the impact of being in a dysregulated state on your ability to connect with others and enjoy life (isn't that the whole point!?)
Takeaways
- Regulation work provides the freedom to choose our behaviors.
- Fear-based motivators can lead to burnout and are not sustainable.
- Desire-based motivators are gentler and more effective long-term.
- Being in a dysregulated state consumes a lot of energy.
- Connection with others is hindered when in fight or flight mode.
- Enjoying life is difficult when focused on survival.
- It's important to challenge beliefs that keep us stuck.
