Motivating Yourself
As young children, we have a great
ability to learn and to see past setbacks.
As we begin to meet expectations
created by our families, schools, and environment, the motivation of
our early years shifts from our goals to pleasing others, and often
our desire to learn suffers.
How can you motivate
yourself?
With this exercise, try to
- recognize your sense of discovery
- take responsibility for your learning
- accept the risks inherent in learning with
confidence, competence, and autonomy
- recognize that "failure" is success:
learning what doesn't work is on the same path
as learning what does work
- celebrate your achievement in meeting your
goals
There are seven pages or stages to
this exercise:
