The psychology of self motivation

Beyond Boundaries !!

We have to go beyond restrictions and accomplish what we want to do in our life

So what motivates us ????

EMPOWERMENT

Doing what we love to do instead of doing things as a result of external motivations

Do you want to be self motivated and empowered in life ?

Answer these 3 questions ! Can you do it ?

Will it work ?

Is it worth it ?

CAN YOU DO IT ?

Do you have the time, knowledge and the training to achieve it ?

Do you believe in your self efficacy ?

WILL IT WORK ?This question will respond back to your self efficacy beliefs and the attitude you have

IS IT WORTH IT ?This is a motivation based question, because people normally think more about consequences of the result instead of how hard to practice in order to achieve it

If your answer is yes to these 3 questions , then you are self motivated and empowered.

The 4 C’s of self motivation

Consequences Competence Choice Community

Consequences

When you work for a pleasant consequence, it feels good

When you work to avoid an averse consequence you feel controlled

Inspire people to be success seekers and not failure

avoiders

COMPETENCE

Inspire others to feel competent through feedback and recognition

CHOICEWhen you perceive choice, you perceive self motivation

Sit back, reflect and be mindful of the choices you have

COMMUNITYPeople who perceive a sense of relatedness and connection with other people are self motivated and are happier

Kids yearn for a sense of independence which is not the right attitude

We need each others back. We need a sense of community. We need to move from independence to interdependence.

When you are overwhelmed with a problem break it down into smaller steps.

One needs to have the humility to accept feedback and the courage to speak up

We need to help each other to be empowered and self motivated.
