About what motivation I have already talked in previous articles. But there is still such a concept of self -motivation and I would like to understand its distinctive features.
It’s no secret to motivating or encouraging yourself to do anything much more difficult than when someone drives you (“motivation with a whip” is sometimes a very necessary thing) or encourages (“motivation by gingerbread”). It is very not easy to find words and target settings for yourself, especially if we do not like it. And even if such motivating words will be found, then their action will not last a long time, because the self-motivation needs to be constantly fed with something. Even the method of “encouraging for actions” will not always be triggered due to the fact that we can always agree with ourselves and often just regret ourselves.
Based on these distinctive features of this type of motivation, we can conclude that the usual methods of “promotion to action” are ineffective here. Therefore, it remains either to find the one who will motivate you from the outside, or to study in more detail the effective methods of self -motivation.
