How to Do It When You Don’t Feel Like Doing It, Part 1 (Motivation, Exercise, Self-Care)

How to Do It When You Don’t Feel Like Doing It, Part 1 (Motivation, Exercise, Self-Care)

Author: Siena & Toast November 8, 2022 Duration: 31:47
One annoying thing about being human is wanting to do something, and at the very same time, NOT wanting to do that exact same thing. On this episode, we mash and hash on the weirdness and frustration of this phenomenon, and discus some unconventional ways we’ve approached and overcome the quirky obstacle.

One of the most important skills to develop is being able to give yourself a command and follow it.



Turn off your brain: don’t even try to be grateful or any of that stuff



You’ll never guess who’s on Toast’s workout playlist. Never.



Motion is emotion: emote through movement



Self-concept: what kind of person are you?



Beauty is proportion: a beautiful life through proportionate brain use

Siena & Toast have been partners in life and music since 2001, a married lesbian couple who are API and originally from Hawaii. They bring that unique perspective to every conversation on Live Your Love Story. This isn't about presenting a perfect facade; it's about the real, ongoing work of building a meaningful life together, rooted in their experiences within the LGBTQ community. You'll hear discussions that weave together personal stories with broader themes of culture, holistic health, and positive spirituality. The tone is intentionally uplifting and entertaining, but there's always an educational thread-whether they're exploring relationships, self-improvement, or what it means to be a progressive ally. Think of tuning in as a chance to sit with two friends who believe that personal growth and authentic connection are the foundations of any great love story. Their podcast offers a blend of warmth and practical insight, creating a space dedicated to being the best you can be, individually and within your communities. It’s about the daily choice to live intentionally, with joy and purpose.
