Have you ever wondered, "How do I maintain my excitement about change?" You may have gotten excited about a new weight loss program, do well for about a week, then
completely fizzle out.
I used to do that all the time until I discovered how to get out of that self-defeating cycle.
Believe it or not, there is a biological reason why this happens. But you can
learn how to make motivation last.
When your brain starts something new, it releases a neurotransmitter called 'Dopamine.'
Think of it as like kindling wood to start a fire.
Dopamine makes you feel energetic and excited when you start pursuing a goal.
But there's only one problem.
Just like kindling wood burns hot and fast, so does Dopamine! The high from starting something new typically
lasts only 4-10 days.
That's why most people start feeling discouraged when they don't feel the same level of excitement as they did at the beginning of a new
program.
They feel their fire going out.
They think
this is a sign that they shouldn't change. At this point, many people quit.
But that is a gigantic mistake!
The ultimate solution is to use a powerful, unseen ability the Lord gave you to stoke
your faith - much like stoking a fire to keep it burning.
What is this force? I call it imagination excitement. In the following article, I share how this works and give you 5 questions to excite your imagination for lasting motivation.
Be blessed in Health, Healing, and Wholeness,
