Physiology dictates your feelings

One of the key techniques to break free from a slump and increase motivation is to physically move. By standing up and taking a step, you wake up your body, change your emotions, and make anything possible. Sitting passively in front of a computer or listening to a podcast won't provide long-lasting motivation. Instead, it's necessary to physically move to get things done.

Fuel Your Fire For Sustained Motivation

As a child, I wondered why I couldn't always have my way. Mom and Dad were so mean! I couldn't wait to grow up, move out, and experience being an adult. Everything would be different - or so I thought.

After stepping into the adult world, it didn't take long to realize that not much had changed. It turns out it wasn't my parents. It was like turning down my requests. Life was getting in the way. What was even worse was that I was getting in my way.

I've joked over the years that if I'm the boss of me, why don't I do what I say? Eventually, I realized having a big ass goal, being on a mission, and, most importantly, motivation on demand was the solution.

Motivation is a powerful, if not fleeting, tool we all need. But we need to understand how our minds generate motivation:

1) Your physiology dictates your feelings. The easiest way to break free of a slump is to stand up, take a step, and REPEAT. Movement wakes your body, guides your emotions, and makes anything possible.

2) Focus fuels your fire. If you're unmotivated, you drift in the wind with no direction. Shifting your thoughts in a positive direction and toward what excites you will break you out and get you moving.

3) The words you say create the emotions you feel. Negative self-talk will drag you and everybody else down. Everything changes when you make the words you say to yourself, internally and externally, positive and uplifting. Words matter more than you think.

You're human. Your brain isn't wired to stay motivated constantly. It would help if you gave it a helping hand.

I used to use a different app that was able to save excerpts from podcast and really enjoyed it. I could listen to the podcast and quickly save things that I wanted to come back to later. Snipd take this to a whole new level with AI integration, creating summaries of podcasts and summarizing the main takeaways from what I’ve saved and snipped. I really love how it helps me prioritize what podcast to listen to with it summaries & deep dives.

I tried everything and snipd is the no 1 app for podcasts if you like to remember things. Just tap your headphones three times and a snipped is created, transcribed, and saved to you library.
