Follow the guidance of your heart

In today’s episode we will discuss the differences between acting out of inspiration versus acting out of desperation. Both sources stem from distinct motivators that have different effects on an individual’s mindset, well-being and personal fulfillment. Additionally, we will explore the contrast between your authentic self and your highest self and their roles in building personal fulfillment. You will learn cues to help you stay connected to the energy of authenticity and inspiration in your life. Dive in to begin the work to craft your categories of personal fulfillment aimed to refine how best to spend your energy and time in a way that is intrinsically fulfilling and meaningful. 

EPISODE NOTES

Categories of personal fulfillment: emotional, experiential, physical/health, social, financial, romantic, purpose/passions, and whatever brings light to your life. 

intrinsic motivation: Comes purely from within from personal drive, enjoyment and creativity.  Intrinsic motivation focuses on the activity and the process itself rather than focusing solely on the outcome and external factors. This internal drive can lead to increased engagement, persistence, and creativity. 

Extrinsic motivation: comes from external rewards, praise, status, and acceptance from others, or to avoid punishment. With extrinsic motivation, It can feel like you are working towards a goal or accomplishment so that you have something to show for, it is simply a means to an end. People who are extrinsically motivated will do something even if it isn’t within itself enjoyable.
