About this episode
In today's episode, we explore motivation and how our thoughts shape it. Thinking “I don’t want to go to the gym” kills motivation, but choosing thoughts like “I like to be strong” can boost it.
Emotions guide our actions. To achieve your goals, identify the emotions you want and the thoughts that create them. For help, download The Midlife Compass at tinyurl.com/midlife-compass. Ready for support? Email me at [email protected]. Create the life you desire!
What if some of the things you believe are simply “true” about your life are actually stories your mind has created?
And what might those stories be costing you?
In this episode, we’re exploring the invisible space between what happens and what you make it mean, and how those interpretations can shape your emotions, relationships, choices, and ultimately your life.
