The Fluffy Stuff: Why Internal Motivation Is Your Secret Weapon
About this episode
Amy Chang discusses the importance of internal motivation for lasting change and identifies common motivation pitfalls.
Think motivation is just about willpower? Think again. In this first episode of our Motivation March series, health coach Amy Chang breaks down the real engine behind lasting change: internal motivation. Amy explores the difference between the feel-good pull of fun and growth versus the sharp shove of pain — and why knowing which one is driving you matters more than you think. She also calls out the sneaky ”inauthentic motivator” that trips up even the most self-aware people (hint: if you’re losing weight for a reunion, listen up). Plus, the two biggest motivation busters Amy sees in her practice — and why your to-do list is not the boss of you.
