Understanding Self Motivation



About a decade ago, the legendary comedian George Carlin once quipped that self motivation is an illusion. His statement regarding is was "either you want to do something or you don't" and with this statement Carlin essentially completely blew off the notion that self motivation was, for lack of a better word, reliable. There is also an underlying notion here that the problems that cause a lack of motivation is laziness and such people are to be derided. So, in essence, Carlin is yelling at the people in the audience to get off the couch and do things. While Carlin's means of describing self motivation is hardly accurate, he does provide a certain intelligent within the framework of his routine. That is, a person is ultimately the captain of the proverbial ship in terms of providing the source of motivation.

Underlying Causes

Before one can take any steps to increasing motivation, there needs to be an understanding as to what is causing the lack of motivation. There can be many causes for a lack of motivation and these causes may include depression, lack of sleep, poor diet, the inability to maintain a proper exercise program among many others. So, if there are areas in a person's life that can be the cause of a poor lifestyle or any possible causes of stress then correcting these problems may allow one to correct the problem.



Making Changes

There are a number of ways one can look for tips in changing one's perceived lack of motivation. There are a number of excellent self motivation resource materials available in the form of books, DVDs, CDs, online resources, etc. Because of this, the ability to locate practical advice on the subject is readily available and should be taken advantage of. However, simply reviewing resource material - while helpful - may not be enough o adequately effect change.

Charting Progress

Probably the best way to gauge a successful and noticeable change in one's motivation, it is also important to record progress or regression. In other words, if you had previously been procrastinating with your responsibilities how are you doing now? Better? Is it about the same? Has there been a vast improvement? One of the great mistakes people make when it comes to trying to improve a situation is not paying attention to the changes in a situation when modifications are made. As such, a littler self motivation is chartings one's progress is highly advised!
