ADHD and Motivation: Name the Emotion, Shift the Action | Ep. 355

✨ Free training here: https://imbusybeingawesome.com/training
Low motivation and procrastination are some of the most common ADHD challenges, but what's actually driving (or blocking) your motivation goes much deeper than you think. In this episode, ADHD coach Paula Engebretson breaks down the real mechanics of motivation, procrastination, and ADHD, and gives you a practical tool to take back control.

Every action we take (or avoid) is driven by one of two directions: moving toward a feeling we want, or moving away from a feeling we don't want. For ADHD brains, the "away from" direction runs the show more often than we realize, and once you can see it, everything starts to shift.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- The two directions of motivation we all navigate, and which one is most likely running your behavior right now
- How to identify the specific emotion underneath your motivation so you can stop spinning and start moving forward with intention
- A 4-step check-in tool to shift your thinking, generate the feeling you actually want with emotional regulation, and take one small step forward, even on your hardest days
