DAY 99/5000 : FIND THAT PROXY
How many times have you found yourself going for a meeting because of item 13
Be truthful to ya self.
Did you really go there just because of item 13.
Probably not. You most likely used it as a *proxy motivation*
Same as the guy who began the prayer meeting so he will be seeing a girl more often.
This is the most interesting part.
Proxy motivation are very powerful if you know how to use them well
You went well maybe to get item 13 but you learnt and was transformed by the event.
You began the prayer meeting as a way to see the girl but now you are drawing closer to God.
So if you've realized *proxy motivation* removes friction to begin a habit.
But to sustain a habit you need to be open to more Intrinsic motivation.
The crux of today's message is that, you don't need a real intrinsic motivation to begin a habit.
It will be very difficult for you. Because I trinsic motivation have depth and they take time to build.
So to build your body, instead of forcing yourself to think you want to look healthy, that's going to take some uphill battling.
You can as well just say you want to build body to look scary enough - that can get you started in the gym for real
As time goes on, gradually if you are open minded you will definitely find a bigger more Intrinsic motivation.
And yes, if you want to motivate someone too, you can use a *proxy motivation*
It could be anything ; silly, funny, non sensical. But we are looking at moving the needle.
Because apparently, moving the needle is one of the hardest.
Find that proxy and use it.
