The Motivation Myth

Theresa Flood

Is motivation really the secret to success? Or is it the myth keeping you stuck?

In this powerful episode of TheUPside, Theresa Flood dismantles the myth of motivation and offers a truth that will shift the way you move through your day: action creates motivation—not the other way around.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your feelings aren’t facts (and how to stop letting them run your life)


  • How to use the P-T-F-A-R model to rewire your thinking and spark momentum


  • What to do when you don’t feel like doing anything


  • How commitment, identity, and character are more powerful than waiting to "feel ready"


  • Why discipline, not mood, is the path to consistency and confidence


Whether you're trying to build better habits, become more consistent, or finally break through a rut, this episode gives you the tools to act now—and let the motivation follow.
