5. Where does your motivation come from?

If you're an Oat Life regular, you know we talk about goals all of the time. Today, we took a slightly different approach. Instead of discussing goal-setting tactics, we reflect on why we set the goals we do. In other words, what motivates us? This episode was inspired by a listener question which asked us how to determine whether the goals we set are fueled by a true passion for what we do, or are influenced by the idea of “success” perpetrated by our individualistic and capitalist society. From considering our own relationships with neoliberalism to assessing what it means to be passionate about something, we talk about our own interpretations of this question and share the strategies we each use to consider the motivation behind what we do. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic and how you assess your motivations. DM us on Instagram @itstheoatlife or email us at theoatlife@gmail.com with thoughts, feedback, and questions!
