    MOTIVATION IS WHAT PUSHES US TO
    ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, FEEL MORE
    FULFILLED AND IMPROVE OVERALL
    QUALITY OF LIFE.
    FOUR ELEMENTS OF MOTIVATION

    DANIEL GOLEMAN, the AUTHOR of SEVERAL SEMINAL books


    on EMOTIONAL Intelligence, identified four elements
    THAT MAKE up MOTIVATION:

    — Personal drive to achieve, the desire to improve or to meet


    certain standards;
    — Commitment to personal or organisational goals;
    — Initiative, which he defined as ‘readiness to act on
    opportunities’; and
    — Optimism, the ability to keep going and pursue goals in the
    face of setbacks.
    People who are self-motivated tend to be more organised, have
    good time management skills and more self- esteem and
    confidence.
    WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE?

    FUNDAMENTAL to SELF-MOTIVATION
    is
    UNDERSTANDING WHAT MOTIVATES you to do things.
    TYPES OF MOTIVATION

    • Intrinsic : To perform an action or task based on the expected or


    perceived satisfaction of performing the action or task. Intrinsic
    motivators include having fun, being interested and personal
    challenge.
    • Extrinsic : To perform an action or task in order to attain some sort
    of reward, including money, power and good marks or grades.
    SKILLS INVOLVED IN SELF-
    MOTIVATION
    — Setting high but realistic goals.
    — Taking the right level of risk.
    — Seeking constant feedback to work out how to improve.
    — Being committed to personal or organisational goals and
    going the ‘extra mile’ to achieve them.
    — Actively seeking out opportunities and seizing them when
    they occur.
    — Being able to deal with setbacks and continue to pursue
    goals despite obstacles.
    SETTING PERSONAL GOALS

    GOALS ARE TO LIFE, WHAT WHEELS ARE TO A TRAIN...


    THEY KEEP US ON TRACK!
    TYPES OF LIFE GOALS
    — ACADEMIC GOALS – what knowledge and/or qualifications do
    you want to achieve?
    — CAREER GOALS – where would you like your career to take
    you, what level do you want to reach?
    — MONETARY GOALS – what do you aim to earn at a given point
    in your life?
    — ETHICAL GOALS – do you want to volunteer some of your
    time to a good cause or get involved in local events, politics
    etc.?
    — CREATIVE GOALS – how do you want to progress creatively
    or artistically?
    — Domestic GOALS – how would you like your domestic life to
    be in the future?
    — PHYSICAL GOALS – do you want to develop your skill in a
    certain sport or other physical activity?
    S.M.A.R.T. GOALS
    It can be useful to make your goals and sub-goals fit the SMART
    criteria.

    S = Specific
    M = Measurable
    A = Attainable
    R = Relevant
    T = Timed
    REVIEWING YOUR LIFE GOALS
    As with anything in life, just setting goals is not enough.
    You have to review your goals regularly, perhaps every few months,
    and certainly every year, to make sure that:
    — The goals are still relevant to what you want to achieve; and
    — You are on track to achieve them.

    If not, you need to revise them, in line with your current situation.
    7 TIPS TO STAY MOTIVATED BY

    1. Set A GOAL AND VISUALIZE it down to the most minute
    DETAIL.
    2. MAke A list of the REASONS you WANT to ACCOMPLISH the
    GOAL.
    3. BREAK the GOAL down into SMALLER pieces AND set
    INTERMEDIARY TARGET— AND REWARDS.

    5. Get the help you need.
    6. Pre-determine how you will DEAL with FLAGGING

    7. CONTINUALLY check in with your REASONS for CARRYING on.
    GOAL SETTING QUESTIONS – A

    1. Why am I here?
    2. Where have I been?
    3. Where am I now?
    4. Where do I want to get to?
    5. How shall I get there?
    6. How will I know if I have arrived? / How will I know I have
    achieved my goal?
    7. How do I measure achievement of goals?
    8. What’s holding me back?
