We get motivated because we want to do something so we because we like it.
We want to do things because we want to sort of maintain our psychological status quo, meaning, you know, we want to not be too much.
On edge and not too unmotivated.
So, for example, we watch an exciting TV show when we're bored, or we take a bath when we're we're motivated to take a bath when our arousal levels are high.
So that's another reason for motivation.
And then other psychologists have talked about motivation in the way of, and we might, some of your listeners might remember like the hierarchy of
Needs, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and at the top is sort of self-actualization.
At the bottom are physiological needs.
And so we've got to think about motivation in that way too.
That if we don't have our basic needs met, we're not really motivated to do some of those higher things.
For instance, friendships and that life or belonging needs are kind of in the middle.
So if our friendships aren't going very well.
The higher needs for self-esteem aren't going to be very motivational for us.
So it's motivation, I guess, it was what I'm saying.
It's complicated.
There are a lot of pieces that make up reasons why we're motivated.
So we can look lazy when we're not motivated, but it's complicated.
Yeah, I think you did a great way of explaining this.
Motivation really has three different parts.
I see a lot of kids with executive function issues with slow processing speed or radiation.
