Motivation Strategies

I am easily motivated by things and people. This week, I decided to use the motivation strategy Academic Fears because it allows me to notice what I am afraid of happening, but also what I can do to fix it. I used this strategy for all my classes in general because I need motivation to do anything. I identified my fear, provided what would be the best and worst outcomes, and finally proposed to myself some actions that neededto take place in order to avoid these fears.

The other strategy I used that was also helpful for all my classes was the Motivation Questionnaire.

As I was checking off yes or no in the boxes, I realized what really motivated me, and what I really didn't care for.I also was able to see how much people or things (External motivators) motivate me as opposed to how much I motivate myself (Internal motivators). I used the Questionnaire strategy together with the Exploring Rewardsstrategy because I was able to see which rewards were more meaningful than others, as well as the price I have to pay to do well.
