What Motivates You?

User Profile: windflowers
windflowers January 13th, 2017

What motivates you? Is it the promise of a reward, the threatening that you'll be punished if you don't do so-and-so, or the fact that you genuinely enjoy what you're doing? Is it something specific, like puppy gifs, or anything in general, like motivational penguins? Do you get motivated suddenly, or does it take time?

Please share your thoughts below :)

@windflowers - Hi lovely! I love that you're so enthusiastic on this team and posting such great things! But this is a pretty long tag list and I think some people (myself included!) might not be sure why they're on it. I believe I unsubscribed from this tag list via a link in a different Motivational Support post - can you make sure you're using the latest and greatest? :)

I am motivated by my long term and short term goals. If I'm not feeling motivated in a given moment I ask myself how it'll effect me long term and if it'll interfere or help me achieve my long term goals.

@InvaderStitch

Yes, yes, yes to everything you wrote! That's exactly the same thing I do!

However, sometimes I get un-motivated easier and quicker with long-term goals. I have issues and struggles with focus (which I am trying to improve), so something that helps is looking at my list of goals that I want to achieve, imagining how proud I will be of myself when I achieve them, how happy I'll be that I stuck it out. I use rewards for achieving very difficult goals to help motivate me. I also think of a quote I read some time back, I don't remember how it went exactly but it said something like, your future self has already finished all of these things, they're already done with this assignment/test/plan already, so there's a bridge between you and that future self, and that bridge is just a matter of when. It's just a matter of when you will do these things, because your future self is already on the other side. So you just have to sit down and do it.

Aw, thank you so much! That's very kind of you to say. Yes, focusing is something of a challenge for me (I suspect I have ADD) but I am working on it. I think the quote is great as well, happy to share!
