When nothing is working, it might be time to re-think motivation. What is it? And why can it be so elusive? This course will cover some theories of motivation before diving into practical shifts that you can implement today.

When the usual hacks won't work, it's time for motivation 2.0.

Motivation 2.0

#FFFFFF

Welcome everyone to Motivation 2.0. We're going to talk about what motivation is and what it isn't. And we're going to explore tips and tricks. But we're also going to get into deeper aspects, some frameworks around motivation, which might lead to some bigger but needed changes in your life. So you might find yourself here because of some form of burnout, or something that used to get you going is no longer working. This can happen when we had structure in our life that made motivation a non-issue. And now we don't have that structure and now motivation is a challenge. You can also find yourself at a bit of a dead end when your old ways of motivating yourself, such as fear, anxiety, and stress, are no longer working. Perhaps deadlines kept enough adrenaline pumping that you could get things done, and now you might find yourself caring less and less about those deadlines, leaving an empty space where that motivation used to be. Or you might be someone who used to be driven and goal-oriented, you used to feel motivated by accomplishments or a sense of competition, either with yourself or with others, and again, you might find yourself hitting a bit of a slump when accomplishment or goals no longer feel as motivating as they used to. Another contributing factor that we'll discuss is that when you are facing depression or chronic illness or challenging life changes, this can seriously interrupt the systems and habits that we used to rely on for motivation. This course will explore motivation through the nervous system. We'll also be exploring one of my favorite modalities, which is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT. These concepts will aim to make your relationship with motivation more sustainable and more life-affirming. So if you're ready to get stuff done, stuff that really matters to you, let's jump in.
