Manage episode 461569257 series 2803551
Paul explores motivation through the lens of self-determination theory. Drawing on years of experience in the fitness industry, he unpacks the three psychological pillars essential for fulfillment: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
These principles, Paul argues, not only transform how we approach fitness but also offer insights into fostering long-lasting motivation in every aspect of life.
Paul shares his journey of adapting these principles in his coaching practice, moving beyond the surface-level goal of simply motivating clients to helping them harness their inner drive. He demonstrates how understanding these pillars can shift how you set and achieve goals, making the pursuit of health, productivity, or personal growth more effective, meaningful, and sustainable.
Whether you're looking to excel in fitness, improve your mindset, or redefine success, this episode will give you a powerful framework to align your actions with who you truly are.
