Motivation is considered as the reason(s) we have for certain acts or behaviors. It provides us with the direction and focus we need to achieve our goals in spite of obstacles, and any challenges we may face. Motivation can also assist people in solving problems and improving their habits. This can provide an individual with an improved self confidence, and serve as an inspiration for others as well. In relation to performance, the sequence of motivation is related to choice and instrumental behavior. We first decide which motives to satisfy or incentives to attain, which is then followed by an attempt to satisfy the motive or attain said incentive. Achievement behavior is characterized by duration, frequency, intensity and persistence. For some tasks, arousal increases the efficiency in one’s behavior, whereas in other tasks there’s a decrease in behavioral efficiency due to arousal. Overall, being highly motivated is a good trait to have and plays an important role in personal and professional growth. On the other hand, unhealthy forms of motivation can account for addiction, gambling and risky behaviors.
Motivation is our fuel to get the things that we want. Knowing that there is a feeling of satisfaction at the end of the hard work is the biggest reason we do something.
ReplyDeleteChanging your mindset is a big thing to take into consideration when trying to complete a task. In the perspective of normal people when someone chooses not to do something it is seen as being lazy but its not always the case, some people just have reasons that cause them to not be motivated to complete a certain task like a slump or maybe an issue that has been nagging at them.
