WEBVTT - MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: 3 steps to motivation ⚡

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Get a on, Sam would and this is your motivational

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>moment for this week. And funnily enough, a motivational moment

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>for this week is going to be about getting motivated.

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>No matter how many questions I get asked, it still

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>comes back most of the time from people that are

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>strugging to get into shape. Not Sam. What exercise to do?

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Not Sam? What foods to eat? Sam? How do I

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>get motivated? Now, there's a truth in the answer, not

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to you know, burst people's bubble, but there is an

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>element of truth in the answer that you can't rely

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>on motivation or you can't just try and find motivation.

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>If that's your secret source of success, then you're doomed.

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And I don't say that like I said, to burst

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>your bubble, but there's an element of truth to that

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>that there does need to be some action and some

0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>accountability and some intrinsic motivation come from and within to

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>get you long term success by getting into the habits

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that you do over and over again consistently to give

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you the results that you're saying to yourself you want. However,

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>there are some really practical little tips that I give

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.919
<v Speaker 1>people that do help them with that day to day

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>motivational consistency. Number one is reconnect with your why not

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Why does that person do it? What does that other

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>person do it? Why is this so important to me?

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Because I want to be a good role model to

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>my children, Because I know if I don't lose weight

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>or don't take care of my health, something bad could happen.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>You need to have a powerful, strong why. And equally

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>is importantly you need to be connected to it. There's

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>no point thinking about it four years ago and then

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>putting an air draw somewhere and never revisiting it. You

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>need to put it somewhere where it's going to stay

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>front and see, and you're going to stay connected to it.

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>You're why explains to you why you want to do something.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>The second one self talk. So we've all been there.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>We go to bed, we tell ourselves the night before

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>that we're going to wake up, we're going to work

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>out when when the sun comes up, when the alarm

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>goes off, we can't be by it. Now, there's two

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>ways that from a self talk perspective, we can handle

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>this situation. We can do it from a negative self

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>talk perspective, and that might sound something like if I

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>don't get up now I won't work out, and then

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll feel bad later. I'll probably feel bad about myself.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably end up eating crappy foods because I think

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to myself, I didn't do the workouts, so now what

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I eat doesn't really matter. I'm lazy and motivated. I

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>can't do this, and I'm being a bit over the

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>top to prove my point. But we all do that

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>in a negative self talk way. It's not productive, it's

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>not motivating. It actually makes us feel worse. Now we

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>can flip the script a little bit here and we

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 1>can do positive self talk, which might sound a bit

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>more like this. If I get up now, I know

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it'll be hard, but I know that it'll be worth it.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I feel energized when I start work. I'll have more clarity,

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll have more energy throughout my day, and even though

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't really feel like it, it'll get me one step

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>closer to where I want to be. And that's a

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>connection to that why where I want to be? That

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>want to motivation. That simple shift, and it's not that

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>drastic changes the focus so that you end up focusing

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on the feeling of something after you've achieved it, rather

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>than that motivating self talk of I didn't achieve it,

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>or if I didn't achieve it, you're thinking of always

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the negative of not doing something rather than the positive

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.119
<v Speaker 1>of doing something. The third little tip when it comes

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to getting motivated is the rule that I have across

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>many things, whether it be prepping food, cooking a meal,

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>or getting into a workout, that it's the last thing

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like doing just five minutes getting yourself moving

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>or getting yourself active in the kitchen in a healthy

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>sense for just five minutes will almost always turn into

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes to an hour. You've just got to get

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the cogs turning for that first five minutes, because that

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 1>is the hardest part. So the three tips that you

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>have to write it down for your homework. You have

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to find what you're wiy is. You need to start

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>getting into positive self talk. Even write yourself a little script,

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>a positive self talk script. If situation X arises, my

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>positive self talk script is going to be why. I

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>don't care if you keep it in your bedside table

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in the top drawn. You actually physically have to get

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>it out and read it out loud. Sounds ridiculous. Get

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in the habit of positive self talk. And the third

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>one just five minutes. I promise you those three very

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>simple things that take no time at all will improve

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>your motivation, game, no end,
