The magazines got it wrong. Sure, the promise of “six-pack abs” might be motivating at the airport newsstand. But as soon as your flight’s delayed, it’s an easy goal to forget. Because stress, frustration, and… a conveniently-located Smashburger. (Same as every day, really.) There is a fix, though. If you’re willing to ask—and answer—some hard questions, you can discover a much deeper purpose for change. One that’ll ignite passion and drive you to get the results you want—no matter how badly the airline screws you.
++++
“What are you hoping to achieve by hiring me?” I asked.
Michelle shrugged. “I just want to lose some weight and get fit again.”
After 10 years as a fitness coach, I knew there was more to the story. There always is.
“Have you always been overweight?” I asked.
She looked surprised at the personal question. I didn’t flinch.
After a moment, Michelle told me she’d been fighting her weight for more than 15 years. Now she as prediabetes.
“How does that make you feel?” I asked.
She hesitated again, but then said, “Scared. My mom was overweight and had diabetes, and I feel like I’m following in her footsteps.”
At this point, Michelle stopped holding back; tears trickled down her cheeks.
“It all hit me two weeks ago. My daughter said she didn’t trust me to be alone with my granddaughter because I’m too overweight and immobile to keep up. I was so devastated. So embarrassed.”
Many of us are like Michelle: Ashamed to talk about what’s really bothering us.
Why? Because to achieve real, lasting change, many people have to confront the emotional pain that’s making them want that change.
Once they do, their true motivation is crystalized. And that’s often far more powerful than any exercise plan or diet approach.
The challenge is uncovering it.
++++
When it comes to goals, people usually talk about losing fat or moving better or getting healthy. All fine aspirations, indeed.
But for many of us, these goals aren’t very meaningful in the context of our everyday lives. They’re more like health and fitness clichés.
Our true motivations run much deeper than having a “bikini body” or “sleeve-busting arms” (as the ads and coverlines promise).
That’s the surface level stuff we think we want.
Sure, these types of goals might inspire you to show up for six weeks of training and cut back on alcohol for a while. But for most people, how much do they really matter? How easy are they to give up on?
On the other hand… you know what’s way more motivating?
Michelle wanting to be able to take care of her granddaughter so badly that months of new habits, tiring workouts, and saying no to cupcakes in the break room seemed like the only choice. It wasn’t just a “look better” fitness goal—it was her burning passion.
A wise person (okay, it was Tony Robbins) once said: “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.”
There’s just one problem: A lot of us never actually get to the root of what’s bothering us. We don’t face our pain because it’s uncomfortable. As a result, we’re much more likely to stay the same.
Sometimes, pain will be obvious: divorce, a scary diagnosis, the loss of a loved one. This kind of pain is easy to identify. It’s right there in front of you, flagging you down.
Other times, pain can be more subtle: It’s hiding in a dark corner of the basement—always there, even if you aren’t constantly aware of it.
Maybe it stems from all those times you were picked last as a kid. Or from that “harmless” comment a loved one made about your body… or about someone else’s body (who looks like you).
These hits of pain may not feel that impactful in the moment, but over time, they accrue power and influence over your actions and self-worth.
The result? Pain that’s hidden can crop up as:
These examples all suggest there’s trouble below the surface. Pain is discouraging you and holding you back. If you can access the source of this emotional discomfort, you can use it to achieve serious change.
Here’s how to do just that, in three steps.
Michelle wanted to lose weight, sure.
But more importantly, she wanted to be trusted to take care of her granddaughter. That was her real reason for wanting to lose weight.
In the Precision Nutrition coaching method, we call this “finding your why.”
Your “why” is the reason behind the reason… behind the reason… behind the surface reason you want to make a change in your life.
Finding your “why” is a shortcut to finding your pain.
Because often, your deepest reason for wanting to change your body or habits dredges up yucky stuff.
For example, the shame of having gained 30 pounds after having kids. (‘Why does every other mom seem to have it all together?’).
Or the helplessness of realizing you can’t even bend down to pick a pencil off the floor.
Or the regret that comes with admitting you’re not the kind of active, inspiring father you want to be.
These are the “whys” that drive change.
Getting to your “deepest reason” requires some introspection. An exercise called the “5 Whys” can help kickstart the process.
Here’s how it works: Take your initial reason for wanting to make changes to your nutrition, workout routine, or lifestyle, and use that as a starting point.
Maybe you want to get fit. Now ask yourself “why?”
(If you’re a coach, you can go through this exercise with a client. You ask the questions, but let them do most of the talking.)
Keep asking—remember, it’s called the 5 Whys—until you feel like you’ve identified the real reason you want to change. The illustration below shows what this might look like.
Some people can define—and confront—their “why” quickly. For others, it requires a little more time and effort.
Practicing meditation and/or mindfulness can help you access uncomfortable thoughts you’ve been avoiding or pushing away. To get started, try this simple mind-body scan.
Find a quiet place. Take 5 minutes and find somewhere you can be without interruptions. This could be just before bed or just after waking. Or in your office, resting on a park bench, or sitting in your parked car.
Notice physical sensations. Scan your body from the top of your head down to your toes, part by part. Note how you feel along the way. Don’t judge or rush to change anything.
Notice emotions and thoughts. Once you’ve done your “body scan,” do the same exercise for your emotions and thoughts. Again, don’t judge or try to make sense of it. Just observe.
Ask yourself 3 questions. Right now…
You may find it helpful to jot down a few notes after each session. (It’s okay if you can’t find the perfect words.)
Over time, you’ll likely notice feelings, thoughts, and ideas that crop up consistently. These can be important clues to revealing your “why”… and your pain.
Let’s start with an example.
When Nivi Jaswal entered Precision Nutrition Coaching, she was overweight, stressed, and had prediabetes. Through lots of reflection, Nivi uncovered the pain that was holding her back: a deep fear of not being good enough. If she couldn’t do something perfectly, she wouldn’t do it at all. So now what?
Once you’ve defined your pain, you have a framework to experiment with an exercise PN calls “difficult-easy” and “difficult-difficult.” (No, those aren’t typos.)
Difficult-easy describes things you do that are hard, but still within your comfort zone: going to work every day even though you hate your job, for example. Or giving up carbs again even though you love pasta and cookies.
In Nivi’s case, difficult-easy was spending countless hours researching diet and exercise routines, looking for the “perfect” answer.
Difficult-difficult, however, is the stuff that’s truly challenging—the actions you shy away from because they seem overwhelming or even impossible. This is the place where you grow.
Here are some examples:
Ask yourself:
What are you afraid of? Difficult-easy tasks tend to annoy us. Like when you say “yes” even though you don’t actually have any room on your plate for another task. Because saying “no” is too scary. The things that scare us are usually the difficult-difficult ones.
What would you do if it were Opposite Day? Difficult-easy stuff grinds you down, but you keep doing it anyway. Take a moment to consider: How’s that working for you? What could you do that’s new, that would force you to grow and put you on a new path? That’s your difficult-difficult.
Once you’ve identified your difficult-difficult, chip away at it one small piece at a time. It might sound weird, but focusing on less can help you achieve more.
Pick one small, new habit.
Select one habit that supports progress toward the body and health you want. Make it something simple and reasonable, that you think you can practice every day.
Let’s say you want to get fitter, but you’re terrified of the gym because you feel like an outsider. Your difficult-difficult is hitting the gym on a regular basis.
Consider starting with a habit that gets you closer to that goal, but doesn’t go all the way.
For your first habit, you might choose one of these options:
Maybe one of these seems excruciatingly hard, while another is hard, but doable. Go with the latter.
Practice your habit.
Do your new habit every day for at least two weeks. Some days, it’ll feel like a grueling climb up Everest. Other days it may feel like you’re flying. Eventually, there’ll be more flying days than Everest ones. That’s how you know you’re ready for the next step.
Build on your habit.
Now maybe you’re ready for four home workouts per week, or two exercises when you go to the gym. Practice this new habit for another two weeks. Keep repeating this cycle.
With this practice, your difficult-difficult will become easier. As a result, you’ll get better at facing your pain and fears… and better at changing.
I once had a client named Nadia. Her commitment waxed and waned, and eventually she stopped showing up for workouts—a story any trainer knows all too well.
Two years later, Nadia asked if we could meet up. Over coffee, she explained she has a learning disability, but she’d been embarrassed to tell me about it before. During our workouts, she’d felt lost and anxious.
Armed with this new information, we figured out how to make her more comfortable this time around. She started showing up four days a week and made tons of progress.
Talking to people about your pain can:
Even once Michelle opened up to me, she still had no intention of telling her husband or her daughter about her pain. At first, she didn’t even tell them she had joined a gym.
After a few months, she’d lost some weight, but her motivation started to dwindle, and she was still angry at her daughter. I asked her what she thought might happen if she talked to her daughter about it.
“I was really hoping to avoid conflict,” she said.
What resulted was the opposite. Michelle’s daughter and son-in-law were highly encouraging. In fact, both committed to making nutrition changes with her to show their support. Michelle’s husband even purged all the junk food from their house.
While there are no guarantees, most of the time, if you allow yourself to be vulnerable with the people you’re close to, they’ll rally to support you.
And that can make all the difference in continuing to make progress.
If you don’t feel ready to reveal your pain to someone else just yet, you can use the principles of stress inoculation training (SIT) to help you start sharing little by little.
SIT is like a stress vaccination. The basic idea is to slowly get comfortable being… uncomfortable.
Think of it like this: Exposing yourself to small amounts of stress regularly—in levels that don’t overwhelm you—trains you to handle much tougher situations. Just like with exercise.
In this case, tell your story in pieces, at your own pace, until you start to adapt to the stress of sharing. Or maybe reveal your pain in a journal first, then with a stranger, and then with someone you’re close to.
Because you can do this alone, but you don’t have to.
Remember, we call it difficult-difficult for a reason.
But if you’re willing to dig deep, find your why, and uncover the root of your pain, you may discover the purpose and passion you’ve been missing.
So move past thinking you “just want to get fit” or “can’t lose weight.” And open yourself to the possibility there’s more to the story.
That’s where you’ll find the motivation you really need… for the results you really want.
Learning how to coach clients, patients, friends, or family members through healthy eating and lifestyle changes—by helping them discover their true motivation—is both an art and a science.

Harry Marks’ career happened at the intersection of typography, technology and television. His vision has influenced the look of modern TV, film and video — picture those fluidly moving, 3D letters that fly over the screen to introduce a news broadcast or pop a sports score onto the screen. His influence on this field is absolutely foundational — it’s the headline in his obituary this week in The Hollywood Reporter.
But within Marks’ rich creative life was the seed of another influential cultural moment: He is the co-founder of the TED Conference — which is now a global movement of idea sharing, shared in hundreds of languages among millions of people every day.
In the video above from Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning, Marks tells the story of how he came up with the idea for a conference about technology, entertainment and design while developing title sequences for television using then-new tools of computer graphics:
“I worked with musicians. I worked with artists. I worked with designers. I worked with scientists. I worked with engineers. And it struck me at one point that we were … bringing these very divergent technologies together. I came up with this idea that I wanted to do a conference, but I didn’t know how to do a conference.
“So Richard came and visited … and I said: ‘Let’s go for a walk.’ I said, ‘I have this idea for a conference that’s technology, entertainment and design, and how they relate to each other, hence TED. I said, ‘Would you help me to do a conference, or would you show me how to do it?’
He said, ‘Yeah, I’ll help you. Just give me half. We’ll do it together, we’ll be partners.’ And he brought in Frank Stanton … just a wonderful man, with huge credentials. So the three of us did the first TED in 1984. … And it totally worked, in principle. It didn’t work financially for us at all, but it worked in principle.”
The next TED didn’t happen until six years later, in 1990. Below is a delightful piece of archive video from TED2, in which Marks looks back on what those six years have brought.
I think what I remember most about Harry and the TED2 conference was his love of all things over-the-top INSANE.
As I recall, Tom Rielly and I suggested that we should create a 3D TED-zilla movie for the closing ceremonies at TED2.
Harry encouraged us both to go CRAZY and we use an early version of Adobe Premiere to create this INSANE bit of video for the show.
We passed out 3D glasses to everyone, and the audience went crazy, and asked for a resounding encore.
I remember that Harry was laughing so hard and had a smile from ear to ear.
We both had another good laugh that Timothy Leary was in the audience and we even made him trip out as well.
Such good times. I will truly miss those early, early days with Harry at the TED Conferences.
We’re just back from the 35th annual TED Conference last week, and while much about TED has changed, this vision still holds — of bold looks into the future, an occasional trip-out, and a healthy dash of silliness. All of us at TED remain grateful for this founding vision.

Mark and I are signed up to do a pub run tomorrow, except it’s looking like 40’s and rain. So, I may sit this one out and hop on the Peloton instead. I skipped my workout on Thursday morning for no reason other than being lazy. I knew I was tied up that evening and if I was to get in a workout…it had to be in the morning. I am still beating myself up over being so lazy. Morning workouts can be such a mental game for me. A game I sometimes win and sometimes lose. I’ll do better next week!
Shea started t-ball last night and it was so cute to watch! My friend is her coach and Piper’s teacher’s husband (follow that?) is her assistant coach. And it’s the assistant coach’s daughter who is Shea’s little bestie from school. If you’re totally confused, it’s okay – so is Mark. No one has a clue what’s going on but the coaches did phenomenal and the kids could not have been cuter. After 50 minutes of the hour-long practice, Shea was much more interested in the playground. But, I guess that’s age appropriate and I mean, what kid doesn’t love a new park to explore? Needless to say, she’s not heading to the big leagues just yet, but I hope she finds the short (but demanding) t-ball season to be memorable and fun.
Piper is continuing to work on potty training. We aren’t doing ourselves any favors by switching between pull-ups and panties depending on our whereabouts, but she’s doing really well with it regardless. She nearly has #1 down (that kid can hold it forever and wakes up dry every morning!) but #2 will be a struggle, I do believe. I guess time will tell. If it doesn’t happen before Memorial Day weekend, we’ll probably use that long weekend to break her completely of pull-ups. Until then, we may continue to feel as though we live in a litter box at times. Par for the course, I imagine.
We’re gearing up for summer and there may be some online shopping going on. Is anything cuter than little girl summer dresses?! NOPE. The cutest. I also splurged on 2 Peloton tanks (I’m such a follower) and a Kate Spade beige purse that will double as my Mother’s Day gift. I’m telling myself that taking the pressure off my family is really the THOUGHTFUL thing to do. Amirite or what? I only wish someone would do that for me – I’m undeniably the WORST gift giver ever and for that reason, my dad got only a carrot cake this year. Which he then shared with 10 other people. Man, was it good!
Tomorrow would be Lily’s 10th birthday. We put baby girl down just shy of a year ago and we still miss her every single day.
