My new favorite Youtube channel is The Stoic Body. I\u00a0especially love his video on motivation.<\/p>\n

His advice that we should find motivation by “focusing<\/strong> on what is really<\/em> important”\u00a0is very similar to modern, scientifically backed methods of motivation, like those I have written about<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cWhen I was kicking cigarettes to the curb, occasionally temptation came knocking. When that happened, I would always think about how I wanted improved health and sex appeal more than cigarettes. This technique can be applied to any situation: find the motivators, the things you want more than the bad habit, and remind yourself of those things.”<\/p>\n P.S. He’s also got a video on breaking bad habits here<\/a>. which nicely summarizes the advice from the\u00a0scientifically-backed self-help book\u00a0The Power of Habit<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My new favorite Youtube channel is The Stoic Body.
