Motivation and Meditation.

Welcome back to The Health Feast, hosted by Dr. Rak ("rock") and Po. 

After our regular mind, body, and soul/spirit check-in with Dr. Rak and Po, we get into motivation this episode- inspired by Po's feelings of lack of motivation in his life.

Does motivation even matter? Where does it come from, and how can we tap into intrinsic motivation to aid our habits?

Dr. Rak reviews the three sources of intrinsic motivation- autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Rak reflects on purpose and how one can craft an aspirational self-identity to help motivate desired behaviors.

Dr. Rak also discusses the downside of self-identity in the form of attachment to ego and self- a common source of all conflict. 

The two then reflect on the value of meditation for building awareness and allowing us to respond to our lives rather than constantly reacting. The conversation ends with Po reflecting on and making goals for the week ahead, including exercise and meditation goals.
