There are only a few weeks left before we enter another year, and I just wanted to ask: How was everyone’s year? Were you expecting it to be a little bit different from last year? Did you take more opportunities? Did you lose someone who meant a lot to you? Whatever the case, remember that it’s the start of a new decade, so it’s time to get moving again.
But how do we do that? How do we make sure we reach our goals and become a better person? Well, one important thing is to never lose motivation because, without it, we can never really achieve anything. In fact, according to Career Addict, being motivated increases your energy levels. “For example, when you’re excited about a project that you’re working on, you rarely get tired. And when you’re out partying, you can dance the whole night away without any problems, but if you were attending a gym class that you disliked, on the other hand, you’d struggle to get through an hour.”
Moreover, according to the research of Dr. Anders Ericsson and Jim Taylor, Ph.D., motivation is the most significant predictor of success, and success is achieved through high performance. So it’s just right to get that much-needed push.
Luckily, there are podcasts out there that can help you regardless of what your goals will look like this 2020. But remember, this shouldn’t put pressure on yourself. Everything takes time; these podcasts are only here to help you start on the right foot.
Here are some of the best motivational podcasts you should listen to:

Ménage À Moi
If you’re interested in topics that touch on women’s sexuality, this podcast might be for you. How is it motivating? Well, the podcast talks about female masturbation, a taboo topic that needs more attention. This will serve as a great reminder that you don’t have to be afraid to talk about topics like those. It’s also empowering, as it can help you accept your body more.
