5 PRINCIPLES FOR MOTIVATION

PRINCIPLE 1: MOTIVATION IS AN EMOTION

Motivation is an emotional state that constantly and subconsciously drives you toward the supposedly pleasurable and rewarding things in your life. Lack of motivation is the flip side of that: If you are not motivated to act towards something, you are, by definition, lacking motivation for it. 

Dopamine is the neurotransmitter controlling motivation and the pleasure you get in response to your accomplishment. 

PRINCIPLE 2: YOUR BELIEF SYSTEMS GENERATE MOTIVATION

According to your belief system, motivation can work in your favor or against you. Think of your belief system as the guide your brain uses to select the behaviors that are pleasurable and likely to be beneficial to you. In this way, your belief system generates the set of actions you will be taking:

• If the actions you find yourself motivated towards support your goals, your belief system is working in your favor. 
• On the other hand, if the actions you are motivated toward are preventing you from accomplishing your goals, your belief system is hijacking your motivation and working against you.

Understand that changing your belief system to match your goals is in your control. In other words, you can transform your belief systems and generate motivation toward whatever you want. 

PRINCIPLE 3: MOTIVATION IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS UPGRADES

Constantly upgrading and improving ourselves is a critical factor for lifetime success. Curiosity, deep understanding, and consciously adjusting your behavior to your life circumstances are crucial for motivation. Seeking constant improvement is, in a way, a continual generator of motivation. 

Upgrade your system, build more drive toward the beneficial actions that support your life goals, and away from the behaviors preventing you from accomplishing them. It will keep you on the right track. 

PRINCIPLE 4: AWARENESS IS THE ULTIMATE TOOL TO UPGRADE YOUR MOTIVATION

Are you wondering how to upgrade your system? 

Here is the answer: 

Become aware of your belief systems and their underlying triggers. We are all motivated towards things harming or preventing us from accomplishing our goals. 

The first step for changing and upgrading ourselves is to:

• Be aware of the behaviors you need to avoid 
• Realize the limiting beliefs you have and need to discard. 
• Identify the triggers in your environment that lead us to act in misalignment with your goals.

Once aware of the above, you can consciously tweak and upgrade your belief systems and behaviors to match your desired outcome.  

PRINCIPLE 5: JOY FUELS MOTIVATION 

Expressing pleasure and joy in response to a behavior is a strong signal for the brain to register that experience as beneficial and repeat it in the future. Therefore, enjoying the process and your tiny daily accomplishments replenish your motivation for the following challenge. 

Without pleasure and joy, you can hardly move forward and find motivation. 

Joy as a source of motivation is often overlooked. 

Do not underestimate its power. 

PRINCIPLE 6: MOTIVATION ALWAYS COMES FROM WITHIN!

We tend to believe that we need external stimuli to motivate us. While there is a truth to that, motivation is always intrinsic and directly depends on our inner physiology, belief systems, and state of mind. The external stimuli can motivate us only if:

• It resonates with our belief systems.
• Our physiology is conducive to activating the neural circuits involved in motivation and overall energy production. 
• Our state of mind is in sync with the external stimuli. 

Always remember that motivation comes from within.

You can access it anytime and for anything you want!
