Motivation Hacker
By Nick Winter
Rate: 5/5
Motivation is a cup of coffee handed over to us when we are in a helpless state where our minds deflate and decay.
Nick Winter introduces a new way of not running dry of motivation and not giving anyone control over when and how you get motivated. He calls it motivation hacking. You can cut through the blockage and restore the energy to accomplish your mission. Good planning and high confidence bring out a good motivation hacker. Alienate boring situations and experiences, replace them with activities that drive your life, and navigate your mind to challenges and the adrenaline to win. Having an iron will is an important skill to gain greater autonomy. It creates the possibility of achieving a goal set and one ends up in this invisible cloud where you believe that 'You'd rather try now and not regret later in future for not trying.' You have a whole ladder to climb up to. To succeed as a motivation hacker, one needs to create bite-sized goals that are achievable in the shortest time. Those small wins are a big boost to one's motivational state. Set logic before emotions, so that when you set your mind on something, you do it till the end and not just on a whim. Detect when what you do doesn't spark joy anymore, and find more challenges to jump-start motivation or reroute. Nick Winter validates, " the larger the challenge, the better". According to the author, one way to commit to your tasks is by sharing with people who will keep you accountable. The author outlines an effective approach to setting goals; challenging, specific and immediate (CSI Approach). Motivation hackers are drawn to learning because the practice stimulates knowledge that hypes motivation.
A strategic plan to retain motivation, and not just finding it.
A great read as we approach the new year.
Thank you, my dear reader,
For taking the time to sip some tea with me and cuddle to the unknown. I'll lay the firewood and you warm up in the teepee as we explore different encounters with life.
Love & Light💚
