Neuroscience just flipped the script. New findings reveal that motivation doesn't cause effort, effort causes motivation.
When you take action, no matter how small, your brain responds by releasing dopamine, the “feel-good” chemical linked to drive and reward. That dopamine hit tells your brain, “Yes, keep going,” and that loop powers you into momentum.
So the trick isn’t waiting to feel inspired.
It’s taking the first step anyway.
Start, and your brain will catch up.
Wash one dish. Open the laptop. Write one sentence. Walk five steps.
The effort itself rewards you with the very fuel you thought you lacked.
Motivation isn’t a spark.
It’s a byproduct of motion.
