Oftentimes fluctuations and drops in motivation can be directly related to the heavy mental load of toxic, internal self-criticism. In many cases, it’s the unrelenting, tyrannical inner critic that taunts, torments, shames, and exhausts even the most driven of high performers… Understanding why motivation is important and how internal criticism impact one’s own motivation is vital, especially as it is something that can be greatly improved through knowledgeable guidance, coaching, and training in the mental gym.
