Ep. 168 - How to Overcome the Fleeting Nature of Motivation and Willpower to Achieve Your Goals Anyway

Like a bolt of lightning, motivation comes and goes.  If you rely on motivation to take meaningful action, you'll find yourself inconsistent and stuck spinning your wheels in a perpetual cycle of unhappiness and half-assed, short-lived action that leads to no significant, or lasting result. So, what do you do to conquer the fleeting nature of motivation and willpower to break free from this cycle? In today's episode, Paul and Micheala present a masterclass on both willpower and motivation. They begin with a foundational discussion the definition and difference between each, before transitioning to discussing how reliance on either one is a recipe for short-term results and long-term regression.  Furthermore, they'll teach you how to squeeze every ounce of progress out of the seasons in which willpower and motivation are high, discuss mistakes they've made being too reliant on motivation, as well as what to do to quickly create a bit of both to push through challenging periods.  Episode Highlights Understand the definition and difference between willpower and motivation, and why each are fleeting and unreliable.  Learn how to foolproof your approach to goal attainment so that it works for you even in the absence of willpoer and motivation. Learn how to maximize willpower and motivation when they are high and what you can do to create quick bursts of each when they seem to be missing.  Episode Resources Read our "Maintain Your Weight Loss After A Diet" Blueprint Join The 5% Community Connect with us on Instagram Connect with Paul on Instagram Connect with Micheala on Instagram
