11. Motivation

At the end of the old week and right before the new one, I already feel tired. Is it procrastination or simply spring laziness? I don't really want to know. What I need to understand, though, is how to get past it and motivate myself for yet another busy week. Exactly. Motivation. The topic of this post.

I thought of moments when I was really motivated to do something that I wasn't required to. You know, homework and assignments do not fall in my category of "Things I can't wait to do". So here is one instance of a minute, I felt really motivated to accomplish the task I had undertaken. Precisely, climbing the Coca-Cola Case Tower. This is a team-building exercise we do every summer with the Resident Assistants at AUBG. This post's photo is exactly from this task (not me climbing, though). The number of cases should be around 17, as far as I remember. Almost a record. :) The lovely person on the top - Artemie - who has a birthday in a couple of days! :) What a lovely coincidence!

Motivation was the topic of my Consumer Behavior class last week, too. Or to be more precise, that was the question on my quiz, haha. What I will definitely remember from that chapter is the issues a person faces when they experience motivational conflicts. Have you ever experience both desire and resistance towards a product? Well, that's the approach-avoidance conflict. I found that quite a terrible feeling... It happens to me all the time, I guess I hesitate too much. Should I go to my Monday classes, or should I not? Not good. And I hope this doesn't happen to you, so here is a gallery of positive quotes I found to motivate you for a great Monday. Last but not least, the educational part: a nice animation about Motivation. Enjoy!

And please, tell me how you survive a Monday!
