This is Why Your Motivation Disappears (And What to Do About It)

Loading player...
I'm sure you've had times when you felt motivated, excited, and certain that this time everything is going to change. You feel alive, strong and ready to take on the world. So, you go ahead and make your plans. You can almost see your future self smiling back at you. And then, a day or two passes, and suddenly you realise you're right back where you started.

If that sounds like something you experience, this episode is for you. We're going to explore what neuroscience tells us about why this happens, and how I learned to stop victimising myself and start actually becoming who I wanted to be.
