So to be motivated, we generally need to have an emotion in order to be able to motivate us to do something. Now, we can be motivated to lose weight, for instance, because we want to look a certain way. And when I work with my weight management coaching clients, we generally don't talk about the weight or the food much at all. It's generally to do with their belief about themselves. So they're not motivated to reach the goal that they want, or sustain the goal that they want, because their belief system is causing them to have a more powerful emotion that's holding them back. So they procrastinate, it causes resistance, and then have a tendency not to follow through with what they want to achieve. So next time you're trying to be motivated about something, think about maybe what belief system is holding you back. And see if you can then change your belief system to move forward. Thanks for watching, and I'll speak to you soon.
