050 How to ACTUALLY get MOTIVATED | Daily Show Up Darin Persinger

Here's how to actually get motivated?

Tired of feeling stuck? Stuck at your current level? Or not able to reach a certain goal?

If you feel like you’re stuck or procrastinating or not taking action… 

One of the best ways on How to ACTUALLY get MOTIVATED….

Is STOP trying to change what motivates you. 

So much time and energy is wasting trying to change what motivated you. 

Some people are actually motivated by the Carrot…

And some people are actually motivated by the Stick…

Some people are motivated by winning… some are motivated by not losing, 

“I hate to lose more than I love to win. — Jimmy Connors

“Losing feels worse than winning feels good. — Vin Scully

“I’m a pretty good winner. I’m a terrible loser. — Tom Brady

“It kills me to lose. — Jackie Robinson

The key to actually getting motivated is to let what motivates you… actually motivate you… 

Some people love to win. Some people hate to lose. 

Some people save up money to go on a great vacation. 

Some people save up money in case they lose their job. 

Some people are motivated by their fears. 

Some people are motivated by their dreams.

 

Experience has shown me that Carrot People like to set goals. Stick People are great at solving problems.  

Carrot People would rather win. Stick People hate to lose. 

One of the big mistakes that people make is assuming that Carrot People are positive and optimistic. While Stick People are negative and pessimistic. 

Motives are not attitudes.
