In this week's episode, we discuss motivation and execution. Listen as we talk about what holds us back from accomplishing things and what gives us a spark to completing tasks. Dive in as we question if motivation is even a real thing, how the word is oversaturated and overused, and how people minimize the impact of motivation.
Add the song “Go Big” by Big Sean to your new motivation playlist is Go Big by Big Sean. Thank us later.
Key takeaways from this episode:
1. Be mindful of how societal norms around motivation impact you. American society place pressure on folks to equate motivation with ambition, success, and money.
2. Being afraid to do nothing: it’s ok to take downtime and rest. Counteract the pressure to always be on, to be an Olympian and superhero, and do it all.
3. Ask yourself: What underlying issues, patterns, and fears are really holding you back?
4. Do the work and engage in self-care. Dance to your go-to playlist. Give yourself grace. Binge-watch Netflix and chill the f**** out.
