A kinder approach to motivation
We need to have an honest chat about motivation. I see so many of you waiting to feel ready before starting a big task. The tricky part is that biology actually works in reverse. Dopamine is a reward chemical that gets released after you make progress, not before you start.
If you are waiting for inspiration to strike, you might be waiting a long time. You don't need motivation to start. You need action to generate the motivation.
Here is a gentle way to fix this:
Commit to just five minutes of your hardest task today. That is it. Once you break that initial friction, the neurochemistry takes over and it gets easier.
Don't wait for the lightning. Just start moving.
How do you usually trick yourself into starting?
