Motivation & discipline. These two words seem to be used interchangeably, especially in the health space. And when a coach preaches motivation, it instantly makes me believe them less.

Why?

Because they are COMPLETELY. DIFFERENT. THINGS.

I won’t say they’re mutually exclusive, but we need to shift the way we think about how these two desirable qualities work. On their own, together, and how to apply them in our lives when they’re around.
