How to Find Motivation Through Consistency
#124. On this week's quick solo episode, Caro dives into the topic of motivation, a highly requested one. The thing about motivation that she has learned is that life ebbs and flows, so there are going to be phases of your life where you're being super consistent and you're showing up for your habits, But there's also gonna be times when you're feeling a little bit more unmotivated and that is normal. The biggest myth that Caro wants to bust on this podcast episode is that it is possible for you to be motivated a hundred percent of the time, and the more that you release that idea, the more it's gonna serve you. So if you’re in need of bettering your thoughts around motivation and consistency... this one's for you!
