How many times have you sat on the couch, waiting for that sudden burst of "inspiration" or "motivation" to finally start exercising, working on your goals, or booking that trip?

Here’s a truth bomb that might completely change how you view yourself: Motivation is a loop, not a straight line. 🔄

Most women and girls are trapped waiting for a feeling that isn't coming. We think it goes: Feel Motivated ➡️ Take Action.

But brain science tells us the exact opposite. The true engine of sustainable drive actually looks like this:
✨ DECISION ➡️ ACTION ➡️ RESULT/FEEDBACK ➡️ MOTIVATION ✨

Let’s break down how this changes the game for you:

1️⃣ The Decision is the Threshold: Motivation doesn’t knock on your door while you're resting. It starts with a firm decision. Choosing to act—despite feeling tired, uninspired, or full of doubt—is the actual catalyst. Action is a choice. Motivation is just the byproduct.
2️⃣ Action Precedes Emotion: Action is the spark that lights the fire. When you take consistent, deliberate steps, you trigger a neurochemical shift. We think dopamine is released *after* we achieve a massive goal. In truth, your brain releases dopamine when you perceive you are simply *making progress* toward a goal. 🧠⚡
3️⃣ Building the Internal Drive (Intrinsic Motivation): Proving to yourself that you keep promises to yourself unlocks pure self-efficacy and joy. Once you move past the starting line, your mind naturally shifts to curiosity: *"How much better can I get at this?"* or *"What happens if I lean into this tomorrow?"*

**So, ask yourself this personal question today:**
👉 What decision am I putting off right now because I’m waiting for the "right time" or the "perfect feeling" to strike?
Your tomorrow starts today. You don't need to feel ready to take the first step.

At BIG PictureHealth we build this exact blueprint into everything we do through our URISE pillars (Unleash, Raise Resilience, Invite Intuition, Soulful Self-Care, Explore & Experience). We create safe, supportive spaces for women and girls to stop overthinking, get out of their heads, and get into their bodies.

Are you ready to break the cycle of waiting and trigger that momentum?

It’s an interesting thing Trust … it’s something that can only be gained by giving it … it is gained through credibility + reliability +intimacy ( not the physical kind ) and it is steered by self orientation. If we don’t know who we are and what we stand for , what we value and believe….trust is hard to find … because if we don’t inherently trust ourselves, how can we find it in others?

I spent years not trusting myself … chipping away at my self esteem and doubting my abilities… until one day I just got so sick of the voice in my head that constantly tore shreds off my self worth that my deepest inner soul couldn’t take it any more. I was a hypocrite, teaching my students about self esteem and self worth and allowing myself to take the constant beating that voice in my head kept dishing out… for so long I stopped listening to the deep and quiet voice of my soul that would rise up and defend me from all the noise, I didn’t trust it … why ? Experience has dealt me cards that at the time I believed asked me to stay quiet, not to listen to that authentic and courageous energy inside because that was not acceptable … society told me no, that part of me doesn’t belong here , that strength in me wasn’t good enough, who do you think you are ? So for a long time I ignored it and tried to be who people

expected me to be , I lost trust in the deep soulful voice within. And then , the world whom I had built my trust in , collapsed, everything that I had ever done to meet those expectations meant nothing. I only had myself , and I had to dig myself out of the hole that I had allowed myself to be put in, and it forced me to get out of my head and I to my body , when I reconnected with my body I began to hear my soul speaking , and I have never looked back, and never felt better , never had a better relationship with myself or those around me . When I stood up for what I believed in because I trusted a myself , the world I was living in crumbled and opened the door to something so much better . A place where I can now be exactly who I am and trust myself and those around me.

So how do we build self trust?

🔹commit to building your relationship with yourself 🔹value long term relationships that are built around deep understanding and acceptance over occupational or recreational similarities 🔹be honest with yourself, welcome truth, and be prepared to hear it🔹honour your commitments, first to yourself and then to others, 🔹accept that ok to say no if it doesn’t align with your desires or purpose 🔹communicate effectively, openly, honestly, say what is true, and be kind with your words 🔹be transparent, don’t t hide things out of fear of judgement 🔹understand it is not your responsibility to save others , be there for them, support them, but they have to show up for themselves 🔹stand up for what is right, use your voice and act for what aligns with your core values and beliefs 🔹be compassionate, to yourself and others, care about them and yourself 🔹be passionate about everything that lights you up 🔹pay it forward, be helpful where you can, take initiative 🔹be courageous enough to be vulnerable, it is your superpower so feel the fear and do it anyway…

Just know that it takes practice, just because you fail once does mean it can’t happen. Start building trust in yourself first and the rest will follow.

This is a much watch if you are a female athlete or are connected to women in sport in any way. Or , if you feel the pressure of looking “good” over working through the process to enhance your performance in school , work or sport.
Why are we so comfortable judging women on aesthetics over performance?
Numbers are not your identity… and they do not predict capabilities…

Why do we celebrate appearance over ability in sports? Performance scientist Dominique Condo explores why so many elite female athletes — women with Olympic medals, world records and championship trophies — report body image concerns that end up hindering their performance. She offers a series o...
