  Speaker 1: how to stop depending on motivation? This is Elena Wood
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: was from Nightingale College.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so motivation is one of these really powerful things
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that comes up and it's like it's like a fire work.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's really exciting, and it only lasts for a couple
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of seconds, and then after that you've got real life
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: that you need to deal with. So you have all
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: of this excited motivation. You know, I'm gonna get up
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: extra early, I'm going to go to the gym, I'm
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: gonna eat broccoli, I'm gonna drink water, and then it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: four am and your alarm is going off and you
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: remember that you don't like broccoli and water is boring.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So we need to kind of build our life in
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a way that we're not dependent on this big flash
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of energy because it only comes up every once in
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, so what do you do?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: First of all, have a deeper meaning, So understand the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: why behind your goals. You know, maybe it's that you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: want to spend time with your family. Maybe it's that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you want to go on a gorgeous hike and whatever
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that is. Just picture it in your mind and call
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: on that at four am when you don't want to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: get out of to go to the gym.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we get up and have broccoli for breakfast.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Nobody does that. I'd love to.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I like now that your next Your next one says,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: get comfortable with discomfort. How do I do that?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, So anytime that we're trying to make change, we're
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: going to feel a little bit uncomfortable because it's new
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and it's different, and so we just need to help ourselves.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: First of all, understand that meaning behind what our goal
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: is so that we can lean into that discomfort a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: little bit. The word passion comes from Latin meaning to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: suffer and endure. So if we can just remind ourselves,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: especially about the endurance part, right, So endure through that discomfort.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and making change is hard anymore. Most people just
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: use credit cards.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: No, that's very true.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So I used to like those little point Remember they
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: had those little machines on your belt that would dispense
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: nickels and dimes and quarters, those little metal I always
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to fun. Yeah, what's the next one?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Next is to create systems and environments that support your goals.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And this is really the biggest hack, we'll say for
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: reaching your goals. If you want to get up in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the morning and work out, put your workout clothes right
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: next to the bed, so they're right there. You have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to literally step over.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Them, sleep in them. Why not sleep in them?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I have worked with people who do that absolutely. Yeah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: leave your fruit on the counter, carry your water bottle
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: with you. Whatever it is that you're trying to succeed at.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Create an environment that really really supports that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: At that fruit on the counter thing we buy like
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: cutis and leave them in a bowl because it's so
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: much easier just to grab one of those for a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: snack than walking over to the pantry and getting.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I do. I put broccoli in my pockets.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Soon it's perfect. Yeah, I bet you smell great.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: What's next?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Just remind yourself that feelings don't last forever. If you're
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: feeling overwhelmed or stressed or sad, just remember that these
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: feelings do not define you. They are just this one moment.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Science has shown that feelings actually really only last for
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: about ninety seconds and the remainder is just our brain
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: kind of mulling over them and over them and over them.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: So just let yourself understand it is just a moment.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It's just one little blip in the big timeline.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then this is a good one, this final one. Here,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is it adopting a growth mindset? Yes?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I really love to use the word yes,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: so you can say I don't have the skills to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: do this yet, I don't have enough energy yet, And
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that just helps remind us that we can work, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we can grow, and we can develop, and just over
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: time it will get easier and will get better.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I haven't done all of the things I need to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: do to qualify for sainthood yet.
