What motivates you to move along in your change process? Many Buddies talk about my dedication and motivation to lose weight and maintain exercise. What does it mean to you, and what do you think of the following list?
Motivation refers to the performance of an activity in order to attain an outcome that originates as either an internal or an external drive.
Starting from studies involving more than 6,000 people, Professor Steven Reiss has proposed a theory that found some universal basic desires that guide nearly all human behavior.
The basic desires that motivate our actions and define our personalities:
Acceptance, the need for approval
Curiosity, the need to learn
Eating, the need for food
Family, the need to raise children
Honor, the need to be loyal to the values of one's clan/ethnic group
Idealism, the need for social justice
Independence, the need for individuality
Order, the need for organized, stable, predictable environments
Physical activity, the need for exercise
Power, the need for influence of will
Romance, the need for sex
Saving, the need to collect
Social contact, the need for friends (peer relationships)
Social status, the need for social standing/importance
Today I am grateful for:
- My FS Buddies who support and encourage me to continue
- "Butt-kicking" myself to a smaller size today
- My DH - who is my greatest "cheerleader"
- My Bengal cat companions named Bodhi and Ravi
- My work - which has meaning and worth to other human beings
- My connection to the Mother Earth and its entire splendor
- My physical health
