Episode notes
Tangible vs. Abstract Consequences
- We are more likely to change our behavior for short-term, tangible consequences than for abstract, far-off risks.
- This is why focusing on superficial changes like teeth or skin appearance in anti-smoking campaigns is more effective than emphasizing lung cancer.
Short-Term Motivation
- Find short-term motivations for your goals, not just long-term ones like "life or death."
- Set small, achievable goals that you believe you can accomplish, building confidence and momentum.
Emotion-Centered Goals
- Focus on the desired emotion you want to achieve with your goal, like pride in self-improvement.
- This allows for flexibility and self-compassion while still making progress, even with fluctuating energy levels.
