The 15 Tenets of Self-Motivation |

Today, I’m going to share a secret that can transform your life. It’s called ‘Intrinsic Motivation’. This is the fuel that powers your journey to a more fulfilling life. It’s not about chasing external rewards, but finding joy and satisfaction in what you do. Let’s dive into the 15 tenets of intrinsic motivation that will help you live a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

Confidence in your abilities to go after your goals can sometimes be difficult to find or keep.

It can sometimes take time to discover the confidence you have inside you. This can be especially true if you are trying something new.

I have a program that can help you to discover what is holding you back from achieving your goals as well as help you set an attainable goal related to where you are in your life and where you are trying to be.

This program also works with you to build up your confidence in being able to reach your goal.

You can find out more about this program at Confidology, a funny name but a serious program.

Discovering Activities That Resonate with You

Embrace the Flow: You know those moments when you’re so engrossed in an activity that time seems to stand still? That’s ‘flow’. It’s the sweet spot where challenge meets skill, and it feels fantastic!
Keep a Mood Diary: Not sure what gets you into the flow? Start a mood diary. You might discover that you’re a night owl who loves coding, or a morning person who thrives on yoga.
Set Clear Goals: Progress and learning keep an activity engaging. Set yourself specific, measurable targets to aim for.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Try something new that stretches your abilities. It should be challenging, but achievable. Maybe it’s learning a new language or preparing for a marathon.
Declutter Your Schedule: If your to-do list is overflowing, it’s time to prune. Make space for activities that truly matter to you.

Making Every Activity More Rewarding

Understand the Motivation Spectrum: Our actions are often driven by a mix of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. For instance, you might love your job for the paycheck and the positive impact it has on society.
Immerse Yourself: Transform mundane tasks into fun games. Cleaning the garage? Make a bet on how old that paint can is!
Adopt Deep Learning Strategies: Choose study methods that help you retain more knowledge. Relate the facts to your life, evaluate what you read, and summarize the material in your own words.
Seek Support: Working in groups can turn a boring task into a fun activity. Rally your neighbours to clean up the local park or share responsibilities at work.
Clarify Your Purpose: Understand why you’re doing something. Knowing you’re exercising to stay healthy can make those squats less gruelling.
Spread Positivity: A cheerful attitude can make any task less stressful. Find humour in your daily chores and laugh your way through them.
Exchange Feedback: Constructive feedback can boost motivation. Offer and accept suggestions on how to improve.
Seek Variety: Switching between tasks can keep you energized. Spend 15 minutes on your expense reports, then 15 minutes on filing documents.
Rest Up: Regular breaks keep you motivated and productive. Make time for play and reflection, stick to a consistent bedtime, and nap if you need to.
Serve Others: Work becomes more joyful when you see how it benefits others. Whether you’re a nurse, a teacher, or a volunteer at an animal shelter, helping others is a great motivator!

Remember, life becomes more enjoyable when you let your passions guide you. Even washing dishes can be satisfying when you align your daily activities with your internal sources of motivation.
