I Did It!

Today I thought we might begin to discover our prime motivators. That which gets us up and moving. We’ve been working on figuring ourselves out for about 10 days now, have you discovered anything new about what motivates … or demotivates you? What pushes you forward? What holds you back?

Here are a few suggestions to get us started:

  • It’s easy for me to …  because I am motivated by …
  • It’s hard for me to  …  because I am very resistant to …
  • I always want to … because I love …
  • I never want to … because I hate …
  • When I feel … it’s easy for me to … because … gets me moving.
  • When I feel … it’s very hard for me to … because … stops me dead in my tracks.

Yesterday’s exercise gave me a little bit more insight in this direction when I discovered that I find it easy to do interesting things. This tells me that curiosity is one of my prime motivators. I have also discovered over the course of this project that discomfort is a major demotivator for me. If it’s going to make me uncomfortable, I’m not going to want to do it, unless I’m super interested or curious … in which case the discomfort is over ridden by my curiosity. And of course, I cannot forgo a challenge… so if someone tells me that something is impossible, I will immediately go to work proving them wrong.

How does knowing this make my life better, easier, more comfortable, or more prosperous?

Well, if I take a look at my “prosperity list” – I can see that a working bathtub is one of the things I wrote down that I felt was possible or doable right now. I have also discovered over the course of the project that I need more comfort in my life, and what could be more comfortable that a nice hot relaxing bath?

So now I know that I’m not fixing my plumbing because the imagined discomfort (a demotivator for me) outweighs my curiosity (a motivator). It doesn’t seem impossible enough to be a challenge (another motivator), and nobody has told me that I couldn’t possibly do it (highly motivating). I have also discovered that other people’s opinions and expectations mean a lot to me, so I could possibly use that as a motivator in my plumbing project by offering to reward someone for helping me with the plumbing… then I would have to actually do it because someone else would be relying on me to follow through (highly motivating).

When you look at your past successes, do you see similar motivations? Have you figured out anything that will help make your life right now better, easier, more comfortable, or more prosperous? Is there one small thing that you could find a way to motivate yourself to accomplish?
