Understand Yourself First

MOTIVATION – UNDERSTAND YOURSELF FIRST

To help you get to know yourself find out whether you are motivated by moving towards a goal or away from a certain situation. This comes down to pain vs pleasure.

Pain people wait until the situation is SO bad, the bank balance is in the red, they become ill or their relationships are suffering.

While pleasure people will make sure they are always comfortable with the amount of money they have, the take care of their diets and exercise to ensure good health and address situations in their relationships as they occur.

So ask yourself a questions. What do you want from your holiday?

If your reply is – I am so tired I need to relax and recharge my batteries or similar – you could be an away from person.

On the other hand if you say – I am looking forward to experiencing the sun, food and nature in the country. This may show you to be a towards person.

Why bother you may ask? This is important in goal setting. You need to know whether you are motivated by pleasure or pain when setting your goals. A combination of both is excellent but remember to add the relevant aspect to your goals setting now you have found out where your motivation comes from.

Good luck. Let me know how well you get on: sue@suekennedy.com.
