hijacked!

88% of all health related goals fail after six weeks. So why is it that? The truth is, we allow our minds to hijack us and stop us from achieving, often without even knowing it!

That’s because our brains prioritize our lives into two predominant purposes at the expense of all others; to ensure our daily survival, and to pass our genes on to the next generation. This is true for all living things. So most of what we do involves living “in the moment”, and are subject to a life of impulsive decisions and behaviors that are based more upon our perceived immediate needs instead of a more planned lifestyle.

So how do we break out and overcome these strong built-in neural drivers so that we can achieve more and become the best that we can be for the long term? We can help you find out how, with -

the motivation method!

Guidelines for releasing the personal power within

We’ve been there, and we understand.

The MOTIVATION Method is our exclusive science & research-based methodology at 3LIFE, and is the framework for all of our health & wellness consultations. It is also a roadmap for you, our client, that introduces ten essential guiding principles that, if aware, understood, and followed, will allow you a much better opportunity for achievement and long term success. We cannot guarantee your success, only YOU can do that. But we can give you guidance for self-motivation and the tools to achieve your goals!

Below is a glimpse of our ten essential principles:

Motivational Triad

Don’t get hijacked by these three powerful primal drivers that are embedded deep in our brain’s Limbic System:
1. Seeking Comfort or Pleasure
2. Pain Avoidance
3. Conservation of Energy
Observance

Our brain’s autopilot, the Reticular Activating System (RAS), locks in bad habits. To overcome them, we must first become “Mindful” and self-aware, bringing these habits out of our subconscious so we can recognize them and make lifestyle changes.
Top Priority

The #1 reason people quit their health journeys is they lower their health from the top of their priority list, which opens the door to excuse-making and rationalizations. Always keep your health your top priority!
Incrementalism

In a world of instant gratification, where short-term rewards are magnified (called “Present Bias”), realize that the greater rewards of permanent healthy life choices are taken one step at a time, with vision and persistence.
Values & Visualization

Incorporating character traits into your overall value system, while visualizing a positive personal future outcome, will propel your health and wellness journey forward.
Actions & Accountability

We are defined by what we do, not what we intend to do. If we sit on our intention, our brain may trap us into indecision and inaction. Being self-accountable will make us act upon our intentions.
Training Mindset

Inconsistency is a health & fitness killer that will eventually slow or stop progress, lowering workout results and amplifying soreness. Adopting an athletic training mindset will allow you to overcome your challenges.
Infinite Thinking

Taking cues from author Simon Sinek’s book “The Infinite Game”, short-term “finite” thinking often leads to short term consequences, like weight regain. Our health journeys are not finite, they last our entire lives.
Openness, Truth, & Honesty

There’s a difference between a real reason and just an excuse. You must accept what is true, be 100% honest with yourself and with others to experience a feeling of release and a preparation for progress.
Networking

Trying to go it alone and count on your own self-motivation will drastically reduce your odds for success. Find a partner, friend, leader, or other like-minded people to help you stay accountable and motivated.
