🎯 The 3 Ways to Stay Motivated (Most People Only Use One)
Many new year goals fail by February.
Not because people lack commitment. Because they're only using ONE type of motivation.
After 30+ years of research and interviewing 172 successful people, I've found there are 3 ways to stay motivated, and you need all three.
Way 1: Away Motivation (Gets you started)
- "I don't want to be unfit"
- "I don't want to be broke"
- "I don't want to stay stuck"
- The problem? It runs out.
A person joins the gym. A few weeks later, you've stopped going. Why?
Because you're a bit fitter now, so the "away" motivation disappears.
It's like standing next to ice. Move away, you feel warmer. The further you get, the less it affects you.
Way 2: Towards Motivation (Keeps you going)
- "I WILL run a 5K by June"
- "I WILL save £10,000 this year"
- "I WILL write my book in 90 days"
You're moving towards something.
The closer you get, the MORE motivated you become.
Way 3: Reflex/Habit (Makes it automatic)
- Morning journal at the same desk (anchor)
- Exercise clothes by the bed (visual trigger)
- Same routine, same time, same place (reflex)
When it's a habit, you don't need willpower.
The 3 Ways:
- Away = Gets you started
- Towards = Keeps you going
- Habit = Makes it automatic
Your Challenge:
Pick ONE goal you have right now.
Answer these three questions in the comments:
- What are you moving AWAY from?
- What are you moving TOWARDS?
- What HABIT could make it automatic?
- Let's workshop this together. I'll give feedback on every response.
