❗ Metrics Are Killing Your Motivation—Here's Why

We all want to believe more data leads to better results. But the opposite is often true: metrics can make us feel like we’re failing, especially when the numbers don’t reflect how hard we’re working. This episode explores how performance tracking—meant to support your progress—can undermine motivation by tying identity and emotions to outcomes.

💬 KEY TAKEAWAYS

Metrics are killing your motivation when they shift from tool to tyrant.
Emotional reactions to data are not objective truth.
The real power lies in your interpretation and behavior—not the numbers.
A coach can help reframe the story when you're stuck in a data loop.
Keep training, stay curious, and stop letting your spreadsheet run your life.
