Motivation can feel like an elusive spark, especially when life gets busy.

You’ll also discover practical tools for overcoming resistance, reframing your narrative, and becoming a consistent exerciser.

What You’ll Learn:
  • The difference between avoidance and approach goals—and why it matters.
  • The brain science behind motivation and how to increase motivational salience.
  • Five practical tools for staying consistent, even when motivation is low.
Key Takeaways:
