Each one of us needs fuel in our tank to keep motivated and moving forward.
Motivation is the fuel we use to propel ourselves forward. It reflects something unique about each one of us. It allows us to gain valued outcomes like improved performance, enhanced wellbeing, personal growth, or a sense of purpose.
But when our tanks are running on empty it can be dangerous to continue, because we use our reserve fuel, leaving us very little energy to keep going.
Finding ways to increase our motivation is crucial because it allows us to change behaviour, develop new skills, be creative, set goals, grow interests, make plans and develop our talents.
My question for you is…
What is the fuel that drives you? What do you burn in order to persevere through mental, physical, or emotional discomfort?
Think about your life, your family, your career, your passions, and what types of fuel you burn in order to get results.
We all have our good days and our bad days, and the ones where we feel tired, drained and deflated. And that’s okay, that’s life.
But refuelling your motivation tank and knowing what type of fuel you need to keep moving forward, is vital for your wellbeing.
