Ep. 169 - The Power Of Knowing Your Why

Why do you want to lose weight and keep it off?

Okay, let me ask you again: why do you want to lose weight and keep it off?

If your first answer was something related to seeing a new number on the scale or simpy to "feel better," than you're doing yourself a disservice in pursuit of this goal.

Regardless of the goal you're seeing, it will take you longer and be more challenging than you expected.

That's just life.

Having a clear, emotionally-charged, powerful why behind wanting to achieve your goal will help you weather the inevitable challenges you face on this longer-than-expected journey and help you to remain committed to take action even in the absence of willpower and motivation. 

In today's episode, Paul and Micheala discuss the power of getting to the root of your true why and potent strategies to help you uncover yours. You'll learn the importance of (and strategies how) taking time to dig deep and develop a strong emotional attachment to your goals to exponentially increase the likelihood you achieve them. 

Paul and Micheala talk through how to develop a strong enough why, how to ensure you know it's emotionally charged enough, and practical tips and strategies to gain the clarity behind why you want to achieve your goal so that you can confidently overcome the inevitable obstacles you'll encounter.
