What Happens When You Actually Try Daily Affirmations?

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/05/22

Most self-help advice makes me cringe. Vision boards, “manifesting,” and the whole daily affirmation thing? Yeah, I’ve always put that in the woo-woo category. But lately, I’ve been stuck in my head, wrestling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the classic case of overthinking everything. So I decided to try something that made me deeply uncomfortable: staring at myself in the mirror and saying things like “I am enough.” And no, I didn’t spontaneously combust from secondhand embarrassment.

2025/05/19

Ever stared at your to-do list and felt like it was staring back, daring you to make the first move? You’re not lazy. Your brain’s just doing what it was built to do: avoid discomfort, conserve energy, and protect you from anything that feels even slightly threatening, like starting that massive project you’ve been putting off for months. In this episode, I break down one of the simplest yet most effective ways to bypass your brain’s panic button and finally get started: The 5 Minute Rule.For more

What Kept Me Going When No One Was Listening

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/05/15

When I launched this podcast six years ago, I imagined big things: millions of downloads, awards, and overnight success. But that’s not what happened. Instead, I got eight downloads. And no, that’s not a metaphor. In this episode, I share what actually kept me going when no one was listening. It wasn’t hustle. It wasn’t motivation. It was something much simpler, and much harder to stick with.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive

This One Thing Saved My Health While Traveling

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/05/12

I love to travel. And I also kind of hate it. On one hand, you’re soaking in new cultures, trying unfamiliar foods, and pushing your comfort zone in all the right ways. On the other hand, your routine gets kicked in the face, your healthy habits vanish, and you leave feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation. After years of getting it wrong, I finally figured out how to travel without torching my well-being, and it all came down to one surprisingly simple shift. In this episode, I share

The 30-Day Dopamine Detox

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/05/08

Imagine gaining back 2.5 months of your life, every single year. That’s how much time the average person spends on their phone. And if you're like most of us, that screen time is spent scrolling, tapping, and chasing tiny red dots. In this episode, I break down why social media is the addiction no one wants to admit they have, and challenge you to do something radical: a 30-day social media detox.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive

A Minimalist Approach to Business

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/05/05

We’re constantly told that to build a successful business, we need to scale. More revenue, more employees, more followers—more everything. But what if more isn't the goal?

What Is It All For?

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/05/01

I used to be the guy who wore a “HUSTLE” shirt unironically and believed burnout was just part of the process. Fourteen-hour days? Normal. Skipping meals? Efficient. Chasing the next milestone without stopping to ask why? Standard practice. But at some point, the question hit me: What is it all for?

What I Learned From My Twenties

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/04/28

There’s a special kind of cringe that comes from looking at photos of yourself at twenty. The weird haircut. The questionable fashion choices. The unshakable belief that you’ve got life all figured out. In this episode, I unpack the most transformative decade of my life, my twenties. From communication breakdowns to chasing happiness through material things and social status, I reflect on the lessons that truly shaped who I am today.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my

6 Ways to Cut Screen Time

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/04/24

Technology has done a lot of good. It’s connected us, empowered creators, and even helped us dodge awkward high school reunions. But somewhere along the way, our devices became more of a distraction than a tool. In this episode, I share six practical (and slightly unconventional) ways I’ve cut down my screen time without moving to the woods or throwing my phone into the ocean.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comThis episode is brought to you by:BetterHelpLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where

You Probably Don’t Need That

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/04/17

In a world obsessed with upgrades, it’s easy to convince yourself that you need the latest phone, laptop, or wireless noise-canceling, soul-soothing, AI-optimized headphones. But let’s be honest, you probably don’t need that. In this episode, I break down how I think about upgrades, when I actually buy into the hype, and how minimalism isn’t about refusing modern tech or living in a cave.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive content

Unlocking Peak Performance

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/04/14

You don’t need to scale a mountain or surf a 100-foot wave to hit your peak. In fact, unlocking your full potential might be a lot simpler, and a lot more boring, than you think. In this episode, I unpack the science behind “flow,” that elusive state where time vanishes, focus sharpens, and we perform at our absolute best. Inspired by the work of author and journalist Steven Kotler, I dive into how elite athletes, creatives, and everyday people are using flow to redefine what’s possible.For more go

How To Handle Uncertainty

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/04/10

Uncertainty is that invisible weight we all carry, quietly dictating our decisions, our stress levels, and, occasionally, how many iPhones we think we need to survive a trade war. In this episode, I break down how to stop letting uncertainty run the show, how to identify your response style, why panic rarely helps, and how overpreparing can be just as useless as not preparing at all.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive content every

The Motivated Mind ·

2025/04/03

We all want to be more productive, right? But what does true productivity look like today? In this episode, I dive into how the definition of productivity has evolved—from the Industrial Revolution’s quest to do more with less, to today’s goal of creating space for what actually matters.

I Thought Journaling Was BS

I used to think journaling was a complete waste of time. You’ve probably heard the endless claims about how it can improve focus, clarity, and help you achieve your goals. But did I buy into it? Not at first. In this episode, I share my personal journey with journaling, why I thought it was nonsense, and how it slowly started to make sense—just not in the way I expected.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comThis episode is brought to you by:House of AtlasLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where
