Episode 178: Finding Your Motivation for Consistency with Your Health and Wellness Goals

from Real World Nutrition · host Shelley A. Rael, MS RDN LD

We all set goals—whether it’s eating healthier, exercising regularly, or making more time for self-care—but staying consistent can be a real challenge. Motivation is often the deciding factor in whether we stick with our habits or let them slide. This episode breaks down two common motivational approaches: the carrot (reward-based motivation) and the stick (consequence-driven motivation). Which one works best for you? And how can you use it to build long-term consistency? You’ll hear practical strategies for staying on track with various wellness goals, from maintaining a regular fitness routine to making better food choices without feeling deprived. We’ll also talk about setting realistic incentives, building lasting habits, and understanding what drives your motivation.   Tune in to discover how to use the right motivation style to create sustainable, positive changes in your health and wellness journey.   🎧 Listen now    Schedule a free 30-minute introductory call today to learn how I can help you reach your health and wellness goals.
