Motivation and Momentum: Unleash Your Best Self
Manage episode 496974972 series 3448955
Have you ever felt that surge of motivation, only to see it fade as quickly as it appeared? The problem isn't your determination—it's the invisible relationship between motivation and momentum that most people misunderstand.
Join me Linton Bergsen for this episode of the Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits podcast and discover how motivation and momentum function as energetic twins in your personal transformation journey. While motivation provides that initial spark—the why behind your actions—momentum is the sustaining force that carries you forward when inspiration inevitably wanes. Most people wait for motivation to strike like lightning, but this approach leads to stalled progress at the first obstacle.
At the heart of this struggle lies fear— False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear operates not through external threats but by undermining your relationship with your own intuition. Fear causes you to ignore your internal compass, suppress authentic expression, and doubt your capabilities. This disconnection keeps you spiritually, emotionally, personally and professionally stagnant.
Your feelings aren't enemies to be overcome but powerful signals waiting to be properly interpreted. Intuition manifests differently across all aspects of life: spiritually alerting you when something's misaligned with your purpose, emotionally coloring your motivations, personally guiding you toward necessary boundaries, and professionally leading toward innovation when properly heeded. The challenge lies in distinguishing between genuine intuition and habitual negative self-talk rooted in past conditioning.
Through my own experience at a spiritual retreat, I discovered the transformative power of approaching uncomfortable feelings with curiosity rather than judgment. This simple shift can spark new pathways for motivation and creativity previously blocked by resistance. The practical four-step process I share—pausing to name feelings, asking "what if," taking small consistent steps, and reconnecting with purpose—provides a concrete framework for harnessing intuition to fuel unstoppable momentum.
