Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin 244 — The Science of Motivation: How to Get Things Done When You Feel Stuck
Whether you struggle to stick to your work out routine or you have a hard time staying motivated to write a book, one small shift in your mindset could make all the difference. Motivation isn't something you either have or you don't. It's something you can create.
One of the best ways to maintain motivation involves the way you describe yourself. Instead of looking at what you want to achieve, consider the person you want to become.
Some of the things I share include:
- Why focusing on your identity, not just your goals, is the key to lasting motivation.
- How to reframe your goals to align with the person you want to become.
- The surprising science behind identity-based motivation — and how it rewires your brain.
- Four steps to put this strategy into action — and one common mistake to avoid.
- How small changes in your language can transform your mindset and behavior.
