Welcome to Lesson 6 of the Creating Long-Term Habits Challenge.
In this lesson, we talk about motivation as it comes to habit and finding internal motivation:
- Reasons not to do the habit are stronger than to do it.
- External motivation – something out there that is motivating me.
- Internal motivation – within us.
- Internal ones might come later.
- Long-term habits often have long-term internal and external motivation.
- Something that will keep us going, reward us.
- We can find more immediate ones that will keep us going on a daily basis.
- Internal and external motivations are both good things to use.
- Motivations not to do something are much more immediate. Right there in front of us.
- This is a difficulty in long-term habits.
- Key habit skill is to find the rewards that are much more immediate – internal or external.
- Internal motivation – Can I feel what is important to me? Can I feel the vision I set?
- Things that you want long-term that motivates you internally, bring them to the session, feel them, connect to it.
This week:
- Find internal motivation, an immediate one, for yourself.
- Practice with it.
