Episode notes
Intrinsic Motivation
- We're intrinsically motivated by our deepest needs and priorities, not just feeling good.
- These needs often have nothing to do with what we think makes us feel better.
Self-Judgment
- We create stories about our values and then judge ourselves for not living up to them.
- This lack of self-awareness keeps us from changing and feeling good.
Understanding Habits
- Don't focus on changing habits directly; first, understand how they serve you.
- Your actions always have a deeper purpose, even if you can't see it yet.
