Motivation is an invisible force that helps power human behavior. In the context of health, motivation is often what separates long-term success from fleeting efforts. Like so many other factors in life, our “quick-fix” mentality drives us to try to “hack” these efforts to bring us closer to a desired change, faster. While taking the shortcut doesn’t always work to our advantage, science provides insights into why “hacking” motivation itself may actually be possible. By understanding the mechanisms behind motivation, adopting healthier habits and achieving short- and long-term health goals may be easier than you think.
