Скачать или смотреть The Real Reason Motivation Fails Under Stress - Doctor Explains

Ever feel like you know exactly what to do but just can't seem to do it? You're not lazy or unmotivated - your nervous system is in survival mode.

In this video, I break down the neuroscience of why motivation fails under stress and what actually helps us move forward. As a physician who's experienced this myself, I share why willpower isn't the answer and what your brain really needs to create lasting change.

🧠 What You'll Learn:
• Why your brain prioritizes survival over your goals when stressed
• How stress shifts your brain offline from planning and focus
• Why motivation is a result, not a cause of action
• The role of nervous system safety in follow-through
• Why community and co-regulation are essential for change

This isn't about pushing harder - it's about understanding what's actually holding you back and creating the conditions for your brain to thrive.
