An Entrepreneur, Comedian (currently on a Sell out tour,) Film-maker, Podcast host, mental health advocate, charity founder and a loving husband and father of 3 beautiful girls.

Have you ever experienced a lack of motivation?Have you ever struggled to stay motivated when moving towards a goal?If this sounds like you read on…On today's mid-week momentum podcast, I cover five motivational traps you must avoid to make lasting changes in your life, from quitting alcohol to starting an exercise routine.You will also discover how I made my singing debut at the Royal Albert Hall !!Here are two motivational traps to warm you up, you will find the rest on the podcast (See below for links)1. Why can’t I find a big enough ‘why’?I get the ‘why’ idea. But it’s been totally miss-sold. Finding a big enough ‘why’ that will unlock endless motivation is a 10,000/1 shot that, for the vast majority, never comes in. The conventional ‘why’ wisdom, lures us in to read the books, embrace the one superpower ‘why’ dream and then when we run out of motivation a few months, weeks or days later - we are left confused - why? Because in the real world, brainstorming your ‘why’s’ is a great way to generate motivation to get started towards your goals, but it’s not enough to keep you showing up.Caveat - I fully accept that if you are one of the very lucky few to latch onto a super-powered ‘why’ it can fuel endless motivation. So I agree with Nietzsche, the great German philosopher when we said,“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how”But for everyone else, the ‘why’ dream is a massive long shot.So for everyone who can’t find the one ‘why’, which is most of the planet - we need a different type of motivation, which I’ll cover in the next common mistake.2. Motivation changes over timeWhen you listen to people talk about their goals before they take any action, you will hear lots of nice shiny ‘why’s’ such as: I am doing it to make my family proud, to raise money, because I should get healthy… But if you listen to how successful people talk during their challenges, the conversation changes. A successful changer's motivational time frame is often different. It’s no longer about abstract or future-dated why’s or why they should; it’s about motivational wins in the moment. They have figured out the secret - the motivation to keep showing up is different from the motivation you need to get started.I talk a lot Why’s are not enoughLet’s take the classic goal that so many of us struggle with - physical movement.Think of someone you know who is uber-fit, healthy and moves their body every day. If you ask them why they exercise, they will not answer with traditional why’s such as to make my family proud, or because the doctor told me, or because I should… No, they will tell you something different. They will wax lyrical about the wins during the goal task itself:“I run because I love the feeling of moving my body”“When I am swimming the world disappears, it’s like meditation for me”“Walking and talking with my friends is the best part of my day; movement and connection is bliss.”Therefore, the secret to limitless motivation is to focus on the wins of the goal activity!For the next three motivational traps to avoid tun into the podcast!Your coachAndyPS - Jan's diploma in coaching course is filling up!!  If you want to transform your mind, body, and potentially career and go on a six-month learning adventure with me, then come with me and learn to coach.In January, I will personally train a small group in the art of life/executive/alcohol-free coaching so they, too, can unlock the meaning they seek by “giving back”.Click the button below to watch a short 20-minute workshop that will explain everything and get you supercharged for 2025!Click the link to find out more - https://andyramagetraining.com/dcpp-course-details/

And you thought this was just a podcast about alcohol-free advantages!! Here we are wrestling with the biggest questions of all. So, before we move on, thank you for being courageous enough to join me on this adventure to meaning and purpose. It is so rare that we take the time to reflect on these important questions.Before we attempt to answer the BIG question, I will turn to one of my favourite mentors and researcher, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and his genius book, ‘Flow: The Psychology of Happiness’.Flow is a scientific concept for what athletes call being in the zone. These are moments when time seems to disappear, the self dissolves into the activity and you become one with what you are doing.Equally you can experience this sense of flow within any activity from gardening, to spending time with friends, writing, work, or on the sporting field. Also our life goals will often provide the feedback and structure to elicit the experience of a flow state.Mihaly’s research found that flow states are incredible for our overall well-being.  The more time in flow, the happier and healthier we become.However, there is also something much bigger at play.Imagine you found a goal big enough and challenging enough that enveloped your whole live.A life mission or life project.In essence, trying to reach this goal could bring flow to every element of your life. Even the mundane could be transformed into part of your overall goal.Mihaly puts it like this:“What this involves is turning all life into a unified flow experience. If a person sets out to achieve a difficult enough goal, from which all other goals logically follow, and if he or she invests all energy in developing skills to reach that goal, then actions and feelings will be in harmony, and the separate parts of life will fit together—and each activity will “make sense” in the present, as well as in view of the past and of the future. In such a way, it is possible to give meaning to one’s entire life.”Yes, for most of us fortunate ones, we could all do a million things and have a million goals. But what if you had just one super goal, and you put all your life energy into it?This singular focus could turn your whole life into a meaningful experience. Mihaly continues, “In this sense the answer to the old riddle “What is the meaning of life?” turns out to be astonishingly simple. The meaning of life is meaning: whatever it is, wherever it comes from, a unified purpose is what gives meaning to life.”Here is the major point - it does not matter what the goal is. This is not a goal-off who has the best goal competition. The goal must matter to you and be big enough to fuel you with meaning for the rest of your days.“The challenge might involve the desire to have the best beer-bottle collection in the neighbourhood, the resolution to find a cure for cancer, or simply the biological imperative to have children who will survive and prosper. As long as it provides clear objectives, clear rules for action, and a way to concentrate and become involved, any goal can serve to give meaning to a person’s life.”So, for a bit of fun, here is your reflection:Now we have the answer to the meaning of life!!All you need to do is find your one BIG goal.Don’t worry about the how-to - Take some time this week to try to answer this question:What goal or goals could you think of that could be big enough to provide a life of flow?Let me know how you get on.After 50 years of searching, I found mine - Transform the world’s relationship with alcohol.Your coach Andy

How to radiate joy

How to radiate joy

2024-11-1410:40

Thank you for joining me on my weekly reflection. My role is to distil the wisdom found in my favourite books, which has taken me years to find, into a few words so you can quickly absorb the major insights.My dream is that these insights will make you feel happier, healthier, and lead to more meaning!I love your feedback. Please let me know what you think, and if you enjoy these reflections, please share.Today’s reflection: How do we radiate joy?Below is the opening paragraph of David Brook's The Second Mountain,“Every once in a while, I meet a person who radiates joy. These are people who seem to glow with an inner light. They are kind, tranquil, delighted by small pleasures, and grateful for the large ones. These people are not perfect. They get exhausted and stressed. They make errors in judgment. But they live for others, and not for themselves. They’ve made unshakable commitments to family, a cause, a community, or a faith. They know why they were put on this earth and derive a deep satisfaction from doing what they have been called to do. Life isn’t easy for these people. They’ve taken on the burdens of others. But they have a serenity about them, a settled resolve. They are interested in you, make you feel cherished and known, and take delight in your good.”Brooks paves the way to joy - It is not found in income or the material but in a commitment to a family, cause or faith. Joy is found in the service of others, giving back and contributing.Here are a few reflections for you to mull over:Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live a life that radiates joy?What are you committed to? How could you give back?What can you do today to give back?If you find these reflections challenging, that in itself is a great reflection. Maybe this struggle is worth exploring in more depth.Your coach,AndyPS—I am biased, but coaching is a commitment to an incredible cause of giving back and contributing. That’s why I see many coaches who radiate joy. For this reason, I created the Andy Ramage Training Academy (ARTA) to guide a small group of people on their adventure to meaning.If you want more meaning, check out this short workshop, ‘How to find your purpose through coaching, even if you are unsure what you have to offer.’ Click here to watch.
