How do you sustain your drive to do all the things self improvement preaches? The key is upgrading your motivational fuel source, distinguishing between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation, driven by external factors like money and praise, provides a temporary boost but diminishes over time. Intrinsic motivation, arising from within, fueled by curiosity, purpose, mastery, auto telicity, and autonomy, offers sustained and efficient drive. Intrinsic motivation, like Fusion Energy, sustains and enhances performance. It outperforms extrinsic motivation, creating a positive cycle of skill development and accessing the Flow State. While extrinsic motivation can initiate action, intrinsic motivation is the force that keeps you going. To upgrade your fuel source, focus on five intrinsic motivators: curiosity, mastery, autotelic purpose, and autonomy. I'll guide you on how to boost each motivator for profound and unstoppable motivation.
Recognizing the power of intrinsic motivators, one can make a critical career shift for alignment. Here, curiosity and purpose persist, while mastery, auto telicity, and autonomy thrive. This alignment marks a turning point, illustrating the potential of intrinsic motivators.Intrinsic motivators, when maxed out, release neurochemicals, enhancing focus and driving flow state. The virtuous cycle begins: intrinsic motivation feeds flow, and flow compounds intrinsic motivation, creating unstoppable drive.
Curiosity is essential, prompting a desire to learn and implement knowledge with immediate feedback. Mastery involves continuous improvement, practicing skills with feedback loops for growth. Auto telicity stems from doing activities for their own sake, blending work and play. Purpose attaches a meaningful cause to work, fostering persistence. Autonomy provides control over work aspects, crucial for focus and positive emotions.
Assess your current standing with each motivator. To boost curiosity, leverage learning with immediate feedback. Enhance mastery by identifying skills for long-term success and practicing deliberate learning. Audacity can be increased by focusing on strengths, not just preferences. Purpose is amplified by connecting daily tasks to a well-articulated mission. Autonomy is elevated through a perceptual shift and exercisable autonomy, gaining skills, network, and knowledge for increased options. Increase autonomy by perceiving your low autonomy role as a step in a broader life trajectory. Gain exercisable autonomy through skills, network, and knowledge, creating optionality. Focus on the smallest work aspect under your control and spend time on an activity fully owned outside work.
