Many of us have dreams and resolutions that we want to achieve someday, but finding and keeping the motivation to succeed in those goals can be baffling and challenging to find. To push yourself with carrots and sticks to reach your goals in the future will backfire on you.
Our world is an ocean of distractions; we have trained our minds to seek distractions every minute. Every maker and doer has to battle resistance to finish the job at hand, and no one is immune. This resistance serves only one purpose: to keep us away from high concentration and focus and push us to procrastinate, experience anxiety & fear, and keep us distracted.
We, as a species, unfortunately, use avoidance to deal with our emotions. Procrastination, or the lack of motivation, can be an emotional coping mechanism attributed to many things. In this book, you will learn how and why that is.
Because everybody is different, therefore, we will be motivated by different things. Motivation is affected by the satisfaction of the needs necessary for well-being, growth, or sustaining life. Motivation cannot be adequately described as an individual fact, but rather than that, it often involves interactions between an individual and a more prominent social context. So both social and cognitive elements are essential. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to address the science of motivation; therefore, I tackled motivation from different perspectives. Also, there are many common surprising misconceptions about motivation; my goal is to clear these misconceptions.
At its core, motivation is a drive and need; its essence is energy and persistence. It is the desire and urges to make progress towards a specific goal or a resolution. It is an internal process, a condition inside us that desires a change.
In this book, you will learn what motivation is? And how can some of us keep their focus and motivation up all their active time while others can't keep going and finish their tasks for more than a quarter an hour? Do rewards enhance motivation? Is competition an effective way to increase people's motivation and performance?
The science has discovered the mechanism behind self-motivation and motivation and how to reach the state of peak performance? You will learn what science and practice have found what doesn't motivate us very well, and you will discover that being motivated is a way of living and thinking, and how it is an attitude?!
Motivation is a tricky thing to master, but absolutely not impossible; my goal in this book is to teach you in simple, practical ways how to hack your motivation. And how to trick your brain into being motivated most of the time toward whatever you want to achieve in life.
