Michelle Segar on Finding Your 'Why' for Lasting Change
“When a behavior becomes essential fuel, we stick with it, because we know that when we don't fuel ourselves, we actually perform worse and everything we care about and everyone we love, and so it turns the behavior into something profound and deeply meaningful.”
Ever wondered why some changes stick while others fizzle out? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Michelle Segar, a motivation scientist and author of 'No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness'. Michelle shares her groundbreaking ideas on why understanding your true motivations can lead to lasting behavior changes.
She dives into the concept of intrinsic goals, like feeling better or spending time with loved ones, which she argues are far more effective than extrinsic goals like achieving a certain look. Michelle also talks about the self-care hierarchy, the vicious cycle of failure, and the importance of being flexible with your goals. By focusing on what truly fuels you, she believes you can make changes that are both profound and sustainable.
If you're looking to make meaningful changes in your life, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
