How Motivation Really Works
Many coaches believe part of their job is to help motivate their clients to make healthier choices. WRONG! Motivation *actually* works in the opposite way you think it would.
Happy 2-Tips Tuesday!
Here are two ideas to consider this week.
By Jennifer Broxterman, RD
1. Motivation is BS 💩
Many coaches believe part of their job is to help motivate their clients to make healthier choices.
WRONG ❌
Don’t enable this incorrect viewpoint – it’s faulty and broken. Motivation ➡️ Action ❌
Motivation *actually* works like this. Action ➡️ Motivation ✅
Your job as a coach is to help your clients figure out their next small step forward, and to only focus on that next step.
• Action dismantles analysis paralysis.
• Action crushes all-or-nothing thinking.
• Action breaks the stagnation cycle.
• Action creates small wins, which increases motivation, which leads to further action.
2. Quote: On Getting Started
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great.”
