Definitions of Motivation suggest it is a process that initiates, guides, and maintains behaviours and actions. It is what causes you to take action, to get going and keep on going …whether it is to put the bins out or to take up a new course of study to further your personal and professional development.
Motivation involves the head, heart and body in a mind-body connection. Thoughts lead to emotions that lead to actions. Motivation involves the whole-body system - biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that activate behaviour.
