Motivation is Overrated — Here are Proven Methods that Work
An Exploration in Behavioral Nonsense
“If the problem you are facing can be solved with action, you don’t have a problem.” -Mel Robbins
Motivation is garbage.
I’ll tell you why and better yet, I’ll share what actually propels us down the road of progress.
Motivation is an empty word in the language of persuasion. The misguided and overused term has been engaged to captivate an audience in the health and wellness industry as well as general media.
We shouldn’t act surprised any longer since hyperbole is designated as the fluent language of commercial media.
Allow me to explain.
Implying there is “motive” is nice but it didn’t make you lose an extra 10 pounds to fit into those new skinny jeans. Sustainability is the term we’re looking for. Habits in orchestra with sustainability can create exponential accomplishment.
Motivation is useless in the context of changing behaviors and deliverable actions. The perception of motivation is driven by hyperbole in media industries that capitalize on the misconstrued audience stimulation.
