We might love gruelling hikes, trips to see far-flung relatives or super hard crossword puzzles, but often we lack the motivation needed to embark on these fun things. How can that be? They make us happy, right? Dr Laurie Santos explores why our brains don't encourage us to do things that we know we'll enjoy, and presents some strategies to help us do more of the activities that will result in happier and healthier lives.

  • Pushkin.

  • Every weekday at 6.30 a.m.

  • my alarm goes off.

  • My first morning moments aren't filled with joy at waking up for an exciting new day.

  • Quite the opposite.

  • I'm feeling irritated.

  • I don't want to get up and work out like I planned to at the day before.

  • And that's when my brain,

  • despite its utter grogginess, transforms into the slickest negotiator ever.

  • My mind comes up with reason after reason that I should really just stay in bed.

  • I got to bed pretty late last night.

  • I need my sleep I can exercise in the afternoon or tomorrow or just skip it all together It's only one workout.

  • What's that in the scheme of things?

  • Plus, I don't need this kind of pressure in my life.

  • I'm busy I don't really have 45 minutes to waste on a workout best to sleep in just this once On the good days,

  • I managed to shut up all the mental back and forth and drag myself out of bed.

  • I try to make my morning workout both fun and frictionless by using all the scientific tips I've told you about in past episodes,

  • like having exercise equipment in my house and laying out gym clothes the night before.

  • And I follow my colleague,

  • Katie Milkman's advice about bundling my morning exercise with a second fun and somewhat tempting experience.
