SELF- MOTIVATION

It is the ability to motivate yourself, self-motivation, which is an important skill.

Understanding and developing your self-motivation can help you to take control of many other aspects of your life.

It is one of the three areas of personal skills that are integral to the concept of emotional intelligence.



Although self-motivation requires a long-term view, it’s important to look at what is motivating you to seek change. The more clear you are on “why,” the easier it will be to stay focused on the work you’re doing, and to create the life you want. You’ll have an easier time staying motivated by recognizing the motives behind your goals. Becoming aware of these motives, and their source, improves self-awareness while also keeping you on track toward goals that truly matter to you.
