Episode 304: Why Motivation Keeps Letting You Down!
Why Does Motivation Keep Letting You Down? Motivation gets you off the couch. It doesn't keep you in the room. We wake up motivated to make the calls, eat better, drink more water, be more present with the people we love. Then something happens, the morning gets hard, and the motivation is gone. In this episode, Lisa makes the case for the thing that actually carries you when the feeling walks out: a standard. A goal you either hit or miss. A standard you get to live up to every single day. It's the line you hold no matter how the day is going — the effort you give on your hardest day that looks exactly like the effort you give on your best. Lisa also reflects on the loss of Dolly Parton, and why so many of us feel like we lost someone we knew. Most of us never met her. We felt her standard anyway. That's what a standard does. It reaches people you'll never meet. In this episode: Why motivation is a feeling, and why feelings come and go. The difference between chasing motivation and honoring a standard. The one question to ask before your next hard call. What Dolly Parton's life teaches us about the reach of a standard. Three words: Standards Over Motivation. You got this.
