EP 28: The Science Behind Motivation (& why we struggle sometimes)

Today's episode is an interesting one! I spent some time learning all about what goes on in our brains that causes us to procrastinate, to struggle to be productive, and to feel incapable of sometimes the simplest tasks. I dive deep into the chemical processes in our brain, how willpower plays a role in the reward-motivation behavioral system & how you can hack your brain into being more motivated to do productive tasks. I hope you enjoy!
