Motivation doesn't come before action; it follows it. Courage is what gets you started, and only after you begin taking action does motivation actually show up to help keep you going.
• Courage is the first essential component of change, not motivation
• The lower brain doesn't control speech, so saying intentions out loud activates the higher brain
• Formula to remember: Courage + Action = Motivation
• Stacking small wins creates momentum that builds natural motivation
• Not everyone will support your health journey, and that's okay
• Creating rituals and systems makes healthy choices easier
• Meal prep isn't just about food—it's about building legacy and teaching self-care
