You Don't Need Motivation Season 1 Ep 4

from You’ve Got This with Dr. Shirls · host Dr. Shirls

Have you ever told yourself, “I’ll do it when I feel motivated”? The problem is… sometimes motivation never seems to show up. In this episode of You’ve Got This with Dr. Shirls, we’re flipping the way we think about motivation. Instead of waiting until we feel ready, excited, or inspired to begin, Dr. Shirls explains why action often comes first and motivation follows. Using the idea of building a campfire, we’ll discover why we have to gather the wood and strike the match before we ever feel the warmth. We’ll also talk about something even more powerful than motivation: commitment. Learning to show up because you said you would, even on the days when you don’t really feel like it. Because you don’t have to let every feeling make every decision for you. Sometimes courage simply means choosing to begin. Don’t wait for motivation to knock on your door. Open the door yourself. Take one small step. You’ve got this.
