In today’s episode I talk about the Science around Motivation. We tend to talk about motivation a lot because most of us are sort of either struggling to have enough of it or we think we don't have enough of it. But is motivation really a problem?
Key Points:
· What causes motivations in our brain chemistry
· The role dopamine plays in our motivation
· How to get motivated when you aren't focused
· How rewards can fuel motivation
Notable Quote:
“But if we're struggling to feel motivated, if we're having a tough day of focus, we just don't want to do things anymore. What we need to do is train our brains to focus on the reward of that task.” – Gregg Clunis
