Where's my motivation gone?!
from Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn · host Kirsty Brunker and Kathryn Ball
Why do we act / behave / do what we do? Well there’s a million-dollar question! But our motivation has a lot to do with it – it is our driver to move from thought to action. So of course it can be problematic when our motivation seems to vanish!This week we talk about sources of motivation, which can be different for all of us, what’s tricky about motivation and how we can try to understand it better for ourselves – to our advantage. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer:‘What do you understand about yourself and what you find motivating? (Are you using this to your advantage / do you know what pitfalls to look out for?)’Resources:Blog - https://www.kbmindfulcoaching.com/post/my-mojo-has-left-the-buildingConfidence episode:On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2fAEkqv6sgzmEHkfvPMXju?si=pCL1oC3CRjalWJ_kP_pFQQOn Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mission-imperfect-navigating-life-with-coaches-kirsty/id1774218514?i=1000677577773Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needsExtrinsic and intrinsic motivation:https://www.simplypsychology.org/differences-between-extrinsic-and-intrinsic-motivation.htmlFind us here:Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.ukAnd on social media here:Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/
