As humans we just have days where we don't feel like doing anything. But there are some days where I simply don't feel like doing it. And you just alluded to that with food like: don't set the goal of what you're going to eat when you're stuffed right because you're going to feel differently.
What keeps you going when the going gets tough? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Ayelet Fishbach, PhD, a renowned expert in behavioral science from the University of Chicago. Dr. Fishbach dives into the nuts and bolts of motivation, offering listeners a treasure trove of practical advice and scientific insights.
Known for her groundbreaking research, she sheds light on how intrinsic motivation—doing something for its own sake—trumps extrinsic motivation like money or rewards when it comes to staying engaged. She also highlights the importance of setting realistic goals that align with our everyday lives rather than some idealized version of ourselves. Dr. Fishbach doesn't stop there.
She talks about the power of social support in keeping us motivated and how empathy for our future selves can help us make better decisions today. Balancing competing goals and avoiding an all-or-nothing mindset are also key points she addresses, offering strategies to help us form habits that stick. If you've ever wondered why some incentives backfire or how to truly measure your progress, Dr. Fishbach has got you covered.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to boost their motivation and make smarter decisions. Tune in to gain actionable tips that can transform how you approach your goals.
