    What Is Motivation

    ► Motivation is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented


    behaviour. It is what causes a person to act.
    ► The word motivation is made from the Latin word ‘movere’ which means
    to move something. Researchers say that motivation is a set of process
    concerned with a kind of force that energizes behaviour and directs it
    towards achieving some specific goals.
    ► Motivation is the driving force behind the energy required to complete a task, a lack
    of motivation will give rise to a lack of driving power behind completing a certain
    task. Motivation involves the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that
    activate behaviour.
    ► In everyday usage, the term "motivation" is frequently used to describe why a person
    does something. Motivation doesn't just refer to the factors that activate behaviours;
    it also involves the factors that direct and maintain these goal-directed actions.
    ► We often have to infer the reasons why people do the things that they do
    based on observable behaviours.
    Types of Motivation

    ► Different types of motivation are frequently described as being either extrinsic or


    intrinsic:
    ► •Extrinsic motivations are those that arise from outside of the individual and often
    involve rewards such as trophies, money, social recognition, or praise.
    ► •Intrinsic motivations are those that arise from within the individual, such as doing a
    complicated crossword puzzle purely for the personal gratification of solving a
    problem.
    USES

    ► Understanding motivation can:


    ► •Help improve the efficiency of people as they work toward goals
    ► •Help people take action
    ► •Encourage people to engage in health-oriented behaviours
    ► •Help people avoid unhealthy or maladaptive behaviours such as risk-taking and
    addiction
    ► •Help people feel more in control of their lives
    ► •Improve overall well-being and happiness
    Components of Motivation: Impact

    ► Simply having the desire to accomplish something is not enough. Achieving such a
    goal requires the ability to persist through obstacles and endurance to keep going in
    spite of difficulties.
    ► There are three major components of motivation: activation, persistence, and intensity.
    ► The degree of each of these components of motivation can impact whether or not you
    achieve your goal. Strong activation, for example, means that you are more likely to
    start pursuing a goal.
    ► Persistence and intensity will determine if you keep working toward that goal
    and how much effort you devote to reaching it.
    TIPS FOR KEEPING MOTIVATED

    ► All people experience fluctuations in their motivation and willpower. Even if you're feeling low on
    motivation, there are steps you can take that will keep you moving forward. Some things you can do include:
    ► Adjust your goals to focus on things that really matter to you
    ► If you're tackling something that is just too big or too overwhelming, break it up into smaller steps and try
    setting your sights on achieving that first step toward progress.
    ► Improve your confidence; Remind yourself about what you achieved in the past and what where your
    strengths lie
    ► If there are things you feel insecure about, try working on making improvements in those areas
    so that you feel more skilled and capable.
    What to Do When You Have No Motivation

    ► There are a few things you should watch for that might hurt your motivation. These include:
    ► Quick fixes or all-or-nothing thinking. It's easy to feel unmotivated if you can't fix something
    immediately or if you can't have it all at once. Remind yourself that reaching your goals takes time.
    ► Thinking that one size fits all. Just because an approach or method worked for someone else does not
    mean that it will work for you. If something isn't helping you reach your goals or is making you feel
    unmotivated, look for things that will work better for you.
    ► Sometimes a persistent lack of motivation might be tied to a mental health condition
    such as depression.
