I Need Motivation Theories

Motivational skills are essential whether in a

work situation or in a home environment and as

much as it is important to be able to motivate

others, it is an essential quality that we need

to be able to motivate ourselves also. Everyone

struggles with self-motivation sometimes, but

motivating others is key for the continued

progress of colleagues and fulfillment of

existing work loads and can seem like an up-hill

battle.

Some days, motivation can seem to be a lot more

difficult than on others and this can be

connected to simple thought processes, often in

a negative capacity, an increase in pressure or

work load, and even the negativity of those

around.

When you consider that motivation truly does

come from within, it’s not surprising that

sometimes we struggle. It’s about setting

realistic goals and understanding that on an

individual level your own moods and emotions

will play an important role as to how easily you

are able to reach your end target or whether

those goals remain frustratingly out of reach.

In a work situation, as much as you may be

struggling to self-motivate, be assured that

others are facing the same internal battle too.

Constant bombardment of thoughts throughout the

day can prevent the individual from embroiling

themselves within their set tasks and instead,

of feeling a sense of achievement, they are

often left feeling frustrated at the end of the

day with nothing having been achieved. When

motivation programmes are introduced at work,

they are about encouraging the individual and

recognizing performance.

It has often been said that motivation is akin

to being on a train. The view can be looking

back, moving from or where moving to. It all

depends on how you view specific things.

Our feelings often prevent us from getting on

with our own tasks or being able to motivate

others. We know what it feels like to be self

motivated, to be drawn towards something good,

something we are looking forward to happening,

so when we experience a lack of motivation it

can often tell us that the thoughts and feelings

we have associated with this task, are not ones

we really aspire to.

Many people write a long list of tasks which

require attention or fulfillment, the more the

individual thinks about personal or job

requirements, the longer the list becomes.

Instead of writing about what they are ‘going to

do’, people write down what they feel they need

to do, and there is a big difference.

Reconditioning techniques can be useful tools to

use when trying to increase a motivated

response. Reconditioning techniques are used

within the realms of NLP (Neuro Linguistic

Programming) and hypnotherapy to great effect

and whilst this may sound extreme to those who

have not come across either therapies before,

both therapies work with the way the individual

thinks and feels and how this person thinks

through certain everyday things.

A simple change to an existing thought pattern

or process may be all that is needed to begin to

create feelings of motivation. NLP contains a

variety of motivation strategies and models to

help integrate within current thought patterns

so as to introduce strategies which work and

hypnotherapy can replace negative thoughts and

isolate triggers with positive endorsements key

to the development of the individual.

Motivation programmes work because they are

simple and effective and relate directly with

the person on an individual level.
