Motivation

Recently I have found myself more motivated in multiple areas of my life. I have been getting up early, eating better, and trying to stay more active. While thinking about what to blog about, the chapter on motivation really stood out. I began to wonder what had caused my sudden increase in motivation and how I could continue to keep this motivation.

Motivation is the processes that lead people to behave as they do. With this in mind I began to search for a state of tension that I was trying to reduce or eliminate. Pretty quickly I came up with multiple reasons and was astonished at how they had changed multiple aspects of my consumption drastically. As I begin to realize some of my goals they quickly change to keep me interested and active. I seem to have a strong drive and have been continually improving.

As I reread more of the chapter to get a better understanding of why I was doing what I was doing I began to see just how strong these seemingly small changes had impacted my daily life. I am doing different things, have a new schedule, I generally walk to school instead of bike, something I have been doing for about 7 years! My drive has changed so much and so have my habits. It is important to understand where your motivation comes from to keep growing. If I did not know the source, my motivation would not be as strong and would not have the same effect on me. From a marketing standpoint it is important that motivation changes. People will consume different products because they change even if it was part of their daily routine before.
