The Science of Motivation: How To Stay D...

Rob Dial
About this episode

In today’s video, we're going to explore the fascinating science of motivation! We'll take a look at how it works both inside and outside your body, and especially how it fires up your brain. Understanding this can help you stay driven and create the life you dream of. 🚀

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. Understanding Motivation: We'll define motivation and break down its two types—intrinsic and extrinsic.

2. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation: Learn the difference between these two. Intrinsic motivation comes from personal joy, while extrinsic is about external rewards.

3. Why Intrinsic Motivation Rocks: Discover why intrinsic motivation is your strongest ally and how finding your “why” can keep you going strong.

4. Dopamine - The Motivation Molecule: We’ll talk about dopamine, the brain’s reward chemical, and how it helps reinforce positive behaviors.

5. Setting Action-Based Goals: Learn why focusing on daily actions and celebrating small wins is key to staying motivated on your journey.

Make sure to watch the whole video and get some great tips on how to keep yourself motivated! If you love the episode, share it on Instagram stories and tag me @robdialjr.
