Jason Zigmont Helps Adults Find Their Passions (Based Upon What They Binge Watch on Netflix)

West Haven, CT, March 14, 2016 (Newswire.com) - It is normal to have ups and downs in your motivation levels. Sometimes all you are motivated to do is click next for your current Netflix binge (or even worse, just let it go on to the next episode after 15 seconds). After a good binge (I just finished Occupied), you may be motivated to find another series to binge, but what if you could find your motivation in life instead?

Motivation is something YOU need to find, not something someone else can give you. But what if you could find your motivation FROM your Netflix binge?

"Everyday can be a challenge and some days all we want to do is binge watch something good. What if that binge can help us understand ourselves?"

Jason Zigmont, Adult Learning Coach

What you watch (on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, whatever) reflects your interests (hence why they all make recommendations for you that are sometime a bit scary). Netflix probably knows more about you than some of your closest friends (and possibly more than you know about yourself).

Here are a few steps/guidelines to help you to find your motivation:

1.     Look for themes of what is important to you. (Are you looking for fame, fortune, family, friends or???)

2.     List the top three themes/topics that are most important to you. (order matters)

3.     Pick 1 thing you want to achieve in the next 1-3 years from your list.

4.     List what achieving that goal will bring you (why you want to do it).

5.     List what you will have to give up to get to that goal. (time, money, etc)

6.     If what you get by achieving your goal is more important to you than what you will give up, work on setting up a plan and milestones to get you there.

7.     Set up a process to hold yourself accountable to your plan.

It may seem odd to use your Netflix queue to get to know yourself, but it is just as good of a starting place as any. What you are trying to do is see where your mind goes when it doesn’t have self-imposed barriers. The grind of daily life tends to make us focus on the immediate, killing our motivation for growth and improvement. The intent is not to set your dreams to some type of Hollywood life but to allow you to expand your horizons.
