What Motivates You?
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 :)
I'm motivated very suddenly, and it either dies out quickly or slowly over time.. What's motivated me recently is watching a new anime that's released. I really identify with the main character, and she's made me want to follow my dreams like she is.
@Gocker
that's great! i'm glad you found something that helps.
@windflowers I think what motivates me is trying to see myself achieve and seeing the progress. I also like goals and accomplishing things so that motivates me in some ways.
@LifeCoach18
cool!! i agree; rewards can definitely simulate you to go do what you set out to. hopefully you've been having success with that lately?
@windflowers In regards to rewards, sometimes it is watching a reality show or eating something.
@LifeCoach18
those do seem like very wise choices!! i presume they are relaxing for you? glad you have something that works!!
I get absolutely charged and motivated when someone says to me, " I need you ".
I already get the reward even before I actually lift a finger !!!
@RideaRainbow
that's amazing, i'm glad you've got something that motivates you!! thank you for sharing :)
Motivation comes in many ways. I get motivated when I see the smiles on my family members' faces. The sight of stars sparkling on the dark sky gives me a great boost just as the sight of sunshine on a garden of blooming flowers. The smell of coffee and freshly baked bread motivates me everymorning to get out of bed. As I grew o;der I realised motivation can be both intrinsic and extrinsic. Both have their importances. Intrincis comes from within you.That is the pat and hug you give yourself for doing well even if no one acknowledges or appreciates what you have achieved. 
Nothing!!!! I need something.
@DanaMHH, Look deep within yourself. Sometimes our inner voice is and dormant so we may not know exactly what we like , our goals and our motivators Even if you cannot hear it , be patient and go with your daily life. One day you will realise and understand both the internal and external factors that motivates you.
@DanaMHH
i hope you find something soon! perhaps something in this thread can work for you too? :)
Doing something creative motivates me. I so badly want a job that allows creativety
Fun. Loneliness is harder alone. I had an upstair friend and after homework, we were together outside. I chose to change to a better school, couldn't fit in quick, stayed alone and had fun with muçy work. Suddenly you notice that equations, well drawn colours on paper, played piano notes by you, shot and scored baskets become your friend. You love your friends a lot, you miss all because of their unique personalities. Everybody is uniqe. I cry once 4 year because I didn't get to know those amazing characters better because of my anxiety problems. I miss people I don't about.
My motivation is the goals I set for myself. I tend to make short-term goals that are achievable but with absolute effort and attention. It gives me pleasure being able to tick the goals off of my notes list and then make a new list! You can call it internal motivation ahaha
Joy, i feel like chasing one joy after other
