    Where did my motivation go…? (and how do I get it back?)

    Today’s episode topics:   • The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation—and why one actually lasts to help you achieve your goals   • The biggest things quietly killing your motivation (hint: it’s probably not just laziness)   • How routines, accountability, playlists, and the five-minute rule can help you keep showing up   • Why your “why” matters so much more than your workout plan   Motivation isn’t something you either have or don’t have.   Some days your 100% looks like crushing a workout. Other days it’s a five-minute walk—and both count.   Tell us in the comments: What’s the biggest thing that kills your motivation?   Love you, girlies!!   RESOURCES FROM TODAY’S EPISODE:   Research on the mental health benefits of exercise:   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1470658/ (⁠PMC)   FOLLOW GET THE GIRLIES MOVING:   Instagram: @getthegirliesmoving   Podcast Instagram: @getthegirliesmovingpodcast   TikTok: @getthegirliesmoving   #GetTheGirliesMoving #FitnessMotivation #WorkoutMotivation #WomensFitness #FitnessMindset #MentalHealth #MovementOverPerfection #SustainableFitness
