On this episode of The Motivation Mindset: The Daily Tune-Up, Risa Williams and Stevon Lewis, therapists/authors, dive deep into the complex topic of motivation. They discuss how motivation is not a switch that can be turned on and off, but rather something that kicks in after you start taking action. 

They discuss:
-The Flow State, an optimal state of engagement and focus that many people strive to achieve. 
-Activation Energy 
-Mental Rehearsal and Mental Prep Work
-Removing barriers that hold you back

Tools Discussed: Flow and Activation Energy (from Csikszentmihalyi's book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience), First Step Finder, Goal Setting, and Goal Tracking (From Risa's book, The Ultimate Self-Esteem Toolkit).
