Episode notes

Working out for intrinsic reasons, such as feeling good and self-improvement, leads to 32% longer workout sessions compared to working out solely for external reasons like weight loss. It's crucial to consider both intrinsic and external motivators when setting goals. Understanding the psychological and neurological aspects of motivation, particularly the role of dopamine in the brain's reward system, is essential for sustaining motivation and reinforcing behaviors.

In today’s video, we're going to explore the fascinating science of motivation! We'll take a look at how it works both inside and outside your body, and especially how it fires up your brain. Understanding this can help you stay driven and create the life you dream of. 🚀

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. Understanding Motivation: We'll define motivation and break down its two types—intrinsic and extrinsic.

2. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation: Learn the difference between these two. Intrinsic motivation comes from personal joy, while extrinsic is about external rewards.

3. Why Intrinsic Motivation Rocks: Discover why intrinsic motivation is your strongest ally and how finding your “why” can keep you going strong.

4. Dopamine - The Motivation Molecule: We’ll talk about dopamine, the brain’s reward chemical, and how it helps reinforce positive behaviors.

5. Setting Action-Based Goals: Learn why focusing on daily actions and celebrating small wins is key to staying motivated on your journey.
