007 The Biggest Myth About Motivation That is Holding You Back

One of my favourite quotes is this one from Jim Ryan: “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”

That's exactly what we're talking about today. Motivation is a fickle thing. Sometimes we feel it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we lose it for ages, and yet we depend on motivation to help us reach our goals in life, especially when it comes to fitness and wellbeing. So let's dig a little deeper into motivation, and bust one of the biggest myths that is holding us back from moving towards our goals.

What We Cover:

- The difference between the energy of starting something, and carrying it through - Why we get so frustrated with simple things like planning our meals - Are there people who are naturally motivated to do things? - How motivation can be nurtured and trained - How to transform initial motivation into a sustainable habit - Fixed mindset vs. growth mindset - Why small steps will take us very far - Beware of the stories you are telling yourself

We need to be aware that we cannot keep that same level of motivation going forever. Ultimately, it’s about how we view it and how we interpret it, and what things we put in place to make sure that motivation becomes less important, and habit becomes the king. We have the power to develop and nurture our motivation, instead of depending on it.

About the Podcast

Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing
Mindset, Balance & Fitness for Real Life
The Busy Woman’s Guide is a wellness podcast for women looking for a healthy lifestyle that fits THEIR rhythm, not a cookie cutter version of all the “shoulds” and to-do lists out there.

Hosted by Alix Hubble, women’s therapeutic, fitness and life coach, I take you deeper into a wellbeing for YOU.

Because you already know what it takes to build healthy habits, and you’ve got enough productivity tips, workout motivation hacks, and tips for how to be consistent, how to stop procrastinating and how to achieve work life balance to last a lifetime.

So let’s explore what really sits beneath your burnout, your lack of consistency, your self sabotage, or your need to always “be on it.”

This is your permission slip to stop performing, start listening to yourself, and create a rhythm that actually fits your life.

If you’re asking questions like these….this is the place to be:

- How to stop overthinking?
- How can I be productive without burning out?
- How can I stop tying my self worth and self esteem to being busy?
