429 - The Science of Motivation

In today’s episode I talk about the Science around Motivation. We tend to talk about motivation a lot because most of us are sort of either struggling to have enough of it or we think we don't have enough of it. But is motivation really a problem? Key Points: · What causes motivations in our brain chemistry · The role dopamine plays in our motivation · How to get motivated when you aren't focused · How rewards can fuel motivation Notable Quote: “But if we're struggling to feel motivated, if we're having a tough day of focus, we just don't want to do things anymore. What we need to do is train our brains to focus on the reward of that task.” – Gregg Clunis Important Links: http://blog.idonethis.com/the-science-of-motivation-your-brain-on-dopamine/ www.magicspoon.com/tiny www.tiny.fm
