Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis presents:

This week on our longrunning, ongoing “Walk the Talk Show” podcast and video series, with awards and millions of views over the years…

Waylon shares a counter-intuitive, Buddhist-inspired tip for those struggling to find motivation—whether you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, a teacher, or simply a human who has to “produce something.” If we have to do something, have to earn something, want to accomplish something…well, we all sometimes struggle.

“ If you’re struggling to ‘produce’ at work, take a step back. Pressure won’t help. That’s burnout and doesn’t create great work or good leadership. Rediscover your motivation. Do something fun or kind for yourself. Then jump back in, with mission harnessed to motivation. You got this!” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

Watch the video:

“Treat yourself to some life. Do something else—and the entire time, it’ll be building a sort of positive pressure. And when you get back, you’re gonna hit it. And I think that’s because often, we’re putting pressure before our motivation.
We’re putting the cart before the horse.
We’re putting pressure on ourselves, but we’re not looking for our genuine motivation.
We’re just guilt-tripping ourselves. We’re just pressuring ourselves. We’re just stressing ourselves out. We’re just being hard on ourselves. And instead, we could take a step back, so that our motivation and our mission have a chance to catch up.”
~ Waylon H. Lewis

“ We need to reset; we need to be motivated from our mission, from our heart, from our caring—and then we can accomplish great things.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

“A reminder:
Take a step back. Stop pressuring yourself. It’s similar to writer’s block—you gotta befriend the problem.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

 ”What I am requesting is participation. Elephant has 13 million fans on social media and millions of readers, but we are only able to bring folks together around caring, fact-based conversation—people who disagree but can do so agreeably or respectfully—if you participate and right now independent media is getting killed by Facebook, et cetera.

They smother and suppress links. So when you go to elephantjournal.com, when you go to elephantjournal.com/best and get our free newsletter, when you go to elephantjournal.com/post and write something and share it—you keep independent media live, but more importantly, you keep respectful conversation, community, and caring facts alive.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

You make what we do sustainable.
