Carrots and Sticks: Making External Motivation Work For You

from Healthy AF · host The MESH

Prizes, bonuses, competition — external motivation gets a bad rap, but can it actually work? In this episode, Amy gives external motivation a fair trial and shares exactly when it shines and when it completely falls apart. If you've ever crushed a goal for a reward and then lost all steam the moment the prize changed, this episode will explain why. Amy also unpacks why leaning too hard on your competitive streak can quietly sabotage your relationships — and your results. The fix? She's got one, and it puts you in charge of the prize.   Connect with Amy here!    #ExternalMotivation #GoalSetting #RewardYourself #MotivationMarch #HealthyAF
