"Motivation is a mood. It's not a method."
Ever wondered what it takes to move forward even when motivation seems to have taken a vacation? Angela Pugh, the seasoned life coach and host of the Addiction Unlimited podcast, shares her no-nonsense wisdom on how action, not motivation, is the real catalyst for change. Forget waiting for that elusive spark of inspiration; Angela insists that movement itself is the secret sauce to generating motivation.
In this episode, she debunks the myth that successful people are constantly motivated and introduces three powerful structure hacks that can help anyone make progress, regardless of how they feel. Angela's candid recount of her own struggles with motivation will resonate with anyone who's ever hit snooze one too many times. She talks about how waiting for the 'right moment' often leads to stagnation and offers practical advice on how to kick-start action with her 90-second rule.
This simple trick encourages you to start any task for just 90 seconds, and often, you'll find yourself continuing beyond that. With a sprinkle of humour and a lot of real talk, Angela also discusses the importance of daily non-negotiables and visual triggers to keep you on track. Her insights into how our feelings can mislead us provide a refreshing perspective on taking control of your actions.
Whether you're battling addiction or just looking to boost your productivity, Angela's approach offers a fresh take on achieving your goals. So, are you ready to stop waiting and start moving?
