Summary

Are you frustrated that you've been doing all the right things but haven't seen any proof of change? Maybe you're stuck in the mindset that nothing ever works. Alisa's here today to help you understand why you feel this way and what you can do about it.

She explains the science behind motivation, including intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and why one will sustain change and the other keeps you in the cycle of quitting.

So grab a big glass of water (coffee or tea) and your journal. Alisa's leading you through an exercise to help you focus on the intrinsic things, and she asks you three powerful questions. She's also arming you up with four proven tips to increase motivation and keep you from the common quits.
