How Are You Motivated?

August 20, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

Self-reflection can lead one to contemplate about how they are motivated to accomplish specific tasks and goals.

Intrinsic Motivation:

Intrinsic motivation is executing an activity for its own sake. Enjoy the activity because it is fun, satisfying or challenging. Not because you’ll get a reward or avoid punishment.

Extrinsic Motivation:

Extrinsic motivation is doing something not because you enjoy it, but rather because you want to receive a reward or avoid punishment. This is the opposite of intrinsic motivation.
