In essence, what we're talking about here is taking a behavior like let's just take exercise- and recognizing that it contributes to our mental health, and then recognizing the important role that our mental health plays in who we are, who we want to be as a parent, what kind of parent we want to be, what kind of husband we want to be, how effective we want to be at work.
Ever struggle to stick with a new habit or routine? You're not alone, and Michelle Segar, PhD, has some answers. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Segar, a motivation scientist and author of *No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness*. They dive into why we often fall short of our goals and how we can change that for good.
Segar explains that focusing on intrinsic goals—those that are personally meaningful—can be far more effective than chasing extrinsic ones like losing weight or avoiding illness. She emphasizes reframing exercise from a chore to a gift, something that can be seamlessly integrated into daily life. Immediate feedback, she says, is crucial for making these changes stick. Whether it's improving mental health through physical activity or developing flexible self-care routines, Segar offers practical tips that can help anyone make lasting changes.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the science behind motivation and how to turn fleeting intentions into lifelong habits.
