STOP Your Dependence On  Motivation: Here’s Why

STOP Your Dependence On Motivation: Here’s Why

  1. Motivation is unreliable, since it is based on how we feel (bad days, good days). We have known for centuries that human emotions are fluid and unpredictable.
  2. Motivation comes by believing in positive aspects of a goal and it’s really hard to change your feelings just by thinking.
  3. Motivation is destructive. When you rely on motivation to make you do something, there will always be decreasing enthusiasm following up and every subsequent time you will be requiring more of motivation to even get started.

Willpower Over Motivation: Why It Works?

Willpower Over Motivation: Why It Works?

  1. Willpower, unlike motivation, is reliable. If you are forcing yourself to do something, you get accountability for your actions and that’s dependable.
  2. Willpower can be strengthened. You can improve on your ability to take actions despite feeling resistance due to feelings.
  3. Willpower strategies are consistent. If you rely on motivation, you will have a tough time scheduling and repeating behaviours.

STEPHEN GUISE

If you feel motivated or enthusiastic before doing something, it’s great. The problem comes when you start assuming it as your cue for taking action because then, you are depending upon it. Next time, you are unenthusiastic, you won’t do it.
