Ever feel like you're stuck in a motivational rut, unable to muster the energy to tackle even the simplest tasks? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes offers a lifeline in this episode of Counselor Toolbox Podcast, focusing on practical tips to boost your motivation using cognitive behavioural therapy tools. Dr. Snipes breaks down the art of motivation into manageable chunks, starting with identifying the benefits and drawbacks of a behaviour.
She cleverly points out that even mopping the floor can improve your mood and relationships by reducing tension at home. Who knew cleaning could be so rewarding? Dr. Snipes shares how breaking large tasks into smaller, bite-sized pieces can make daunting chores feel more achievable. Imagine tackling your to-do list like ordering a pizza – what can you accomplish in 30 minutes or less while waiting for it to arrive?
This approach makes the mountain of tasks seem more like a series of manageable hills. Pairing unpleasant tasks with enjoyable activities is another golden nugget of advice. Whether it's dancing around with a mop or watching your favourite show while exercising, combining the mundane with the fun can make all the difference. Frequent rewards are crucial for keeping motivation levels high. Dr. Snipes highlights how dopamine – our brain's reward chemical – plays a vital role in this process.
Keep those rewards coming, but make sure they're enticing enough to spur you into action. Finally, she emphasises the power of accountability through a 'battle buddy'. Having someone to check in with can provide the social reinforcement needed to keep you on track. So why not grab a friend and embark on this motivational journey together? Dr.
Snipes' advice is not only practical but sprinkled with humour and relatable anecdotes, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to boost their motivation and tackle life's challenges head-on.
