How to stay Motivated all the time
Combining Authenticity and Intrinsic Motivation to Live a Good Life
When looking at ways to live a meaningful life, authenticity and intrinsic motivation would not be the outliers. Through two informative articles, the abovementioned notions are touched upon that emphasize on leading a life authentic to oneself and self-motivation. This article will bring together both to provide a comprehensive guide for leading an authentically fulfilling life.
Being Authentic and Operating at a Higher Frequency
Authenticity is the practice of actually being yourself, not your sanitized cultural self but you as you where meant to be. This is about living your true self, like the creature of nature who lives in harmony with life without any heaviness eg: birds flying and earthworms under soil. Pointers from nature on beings coexisting untouched by the multi layered human society.
Conversely, where intrinsic motivation is concerned people behave in ways because they find them engaging and interesting to do rather than for an external reward. This type of incentive is really important for the personal and professional development, it seems to improve emotional well-being as well as making us more persistent, resilient that we may need when faced with circumstances little ‘harder’.
Use cases and benefits on daily basis
Finding intrinsic motivation into a daily routine can make some of the dumbest things feel joyful. This goes for learning, practicing (studying or doing strength training), and hobbies — if you do what makes your soul sing when you are trying to learn something new that dopamine boost can really go a long way in regards of how efficiently we take on, retain and perform the tasks at hand. This and similar approaches to not only encourage a healthier work-life balance but, especially contribute toward unceasing personal growth.
Methods To Develop Internal Motivation
Nourish Inner Motivation The most crucial steps to motivate from within are,
Focusing on Joy; Identify activities you are naturally drawn to, based around joy.
Establishing individual goals- Figure out what you actually are passionate about and set personal objectives that are redolent of to your interests not based on outside expectations.
Experiment with different activities to determine what allows you to “flow” or get deep in the zone where time flies and everything slows down.
Dopamine: Its Role & Finding Balance with Stimulation
It is important to note the role of dopamine — essentially our “feel-good” neurotransmitter, in motivation management. It is responsible for increasing the reinforcing pleasure of interacting with one stimulus and it also helps in maintaining drive due to reinforcement greatly experienced by rewarding events. That being said, external sources of stimulus (such as caffeine) should be limited otherwise you create a dependency which can also detract from your ability to sustain intrinsic motivation.
Balanced Practical Tips on Motivation
Limit Stimulant Use: Consume performance boosting substances like caffeine in moderation as excessive doses will leave you with no energy; keep natural.
Be in Nature: Spend time with nature, breathe and be mindful
Cultivate true relationships: build a network of people that not only make you feel better, but also actually enrich your life
Conclusion :
As human beings, being on purpose with intrinsic motivation is the only way to experience true fulfillment. Rather, honing in on what truly sparks happiness while also applying and living by one’s core beliefs will allow for the quality of life everyone deserves. Allow your intrinsic motivations lead you down the path to self-discovery on a journey toward an authentic and peak performance life.
