How to Get Motivated Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
The Mel Robbins Podcast
Breaking the Cycle of Negative Thinking
Disrupting the pattern of negative thinking is essential to achieving personal goals. Individuals often fixate on outcomes, which can lead to stagnation and prevent them from taking necessary actions. The motivation derived from negative feelings, such as dissatisfaction with one’s appearance or financial situation, can lead to inconsistent behaviors, like sporadic gym attendance or increased work effort without fulfillment. This cycle of moving away from pain towards more pain creates confusion in our brains, resulting in a lack of follow-through. To break this cycle, it’s important to focus on changing thought patterns rather than solely fixating on desired outcomes, allowing for consistent and positive action.
