In this episode, Dr. Jon Finn continues the How to Motivate Yourself in 2026 series by focusing on something many people overlook: the foundations that make sustainable motivation possible in an AI-accelerating world.

As businesses rapidly adopt AI and the pace of change increases, motivation won’t come from doing more or trying harder. It will come from having the right daily foundations in place so your brain states can support focus, energy, and high-quality thinking.

Building on the previous episodes — where you clarified your future vision and created your Future Ambitious Meaningful (FAM) Story — this episode introduces Chapter 17 of Train Your Brain for the AI Revolution: Building Your Foundation for Success.

Dr. Finn explains why motivation depends on getting a few core areas working well (sleep, diet, movement, stress, confidence, and focus), and why the fastest way to improve these isn’t by fixing everything at once. Instead, you’ll learn about super habits — simple daily practices that positively influence multiple foundations at the same time and make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

This episode is practical, reflective, and designed to help you simplify your approach so working on your brain states becomes easier, more consistent, and more meaningful.

Two more episodes remain in the series, where the focus will shift even deeper into applying these ideas in daily life.
