What is Motivation
The main point is that we actually require a “motivational strategy” to keep us motivated! The primary purpose of motivation strategies is to develop an inner desire for beginning or completing an activity.Some of them are discussed here. Most of the people are very motivated when they start their preparation but only few manage to maintain that motivation till the end , and those few are the one who are successful in there dreams , and in JEE’s perspective they are the one who manage to bag high ranks. We have discussed this under these points:—— 1 DESIRE TO LEARN To improve one’s chances of academic success, develop a driving motive or an intense desire to learn. The following strategies may help you to accomplish this. 2. CHANGING ATTITUDES Attitudes greatly influence motivation. Poor attitudes about tasks often translate into lack of motivation. Similarly, positive attitudes usually enhance motivation. Happily, attitudes are plastic and malleable; they can be changed !! The personal goal chart is a strategy for setting realistic goals for studying and carefully evaluating the ways by which those goals will be achieved. It takes into account one’s motivations for fulfilling particular goals. 4 MOTIVATION AND CLASS ATTENDANCE It is sometimes difficult to get motivated to attend class when one is tired, when one is uninterested in the course, or when one has an early class and isn’t a morning person. The following strategies may help one to get motivated to attend class. 5 KNOWLEDGE OF EVALUATION RESULTS One of the most neglected areas of motivation intervention is precise knowledge of evaluation results. A common student question is “How am I doing?” Students need to understand clearly and precisely how evaluations were determined and why they received a particular score.One should explain what was done well on an assignment and Self-talk refers to the process of bringing our attitudes to a conscious level. It is what we say to ourselves and it reflects ourself-esteem. Self-talk can be negative, positive, or neutral. Learning to engage in encouraging self-talk is an effective motivating strategy. An individual must be his/her own best friend, and to do soinvolves recognizing one’s assets and reminding oneself of them. suggestions for implementing positive self-talk will be provided to our registered members Sometimes people can’t seem to motivate themselves on their own. Atother times, self-motivated people falter and need help getting back on track. Establish a motivational support system at home, at school, and at work. The support system may be as simple as a “buddy system” with a reliable friend or colleague. It may be more complex, encompassing a number of individuals from different aspects of one’s life to whom one turns in different situations. People in the support system may be sources of motivational strategies or they may be role models. Check the following sources for motivational support. * family members How each of the “support system” can be used to your favour will be taught to our interested registered members 8 HEALTH CONCERNS Achieving and maintaining high levels of motivation are difficult if an individual is in poor physical or mental health. It is important that one get adequate rest, exercise, and nutrition. Mental health must be monitored to avoid excessive stress, anxiety, or depression. Individuals can learn relaxation and coping techniques.This aspect is important and is not written with an intention to simply increase the list ! |
