Boost your motivation to take action. I would like to talk about the three questions to have a limited motivation. We like to have unlimited motivation during your day. This section is about unleashing your motivation to take any actions during your day. When you lack motivation, answer the three questions as quickly as possible to initiate motivation to take action. The first question is, why do I want to take action?

Human beings need a reason to do something. Do you like to know why you're doing something? Most likely? The answer is yes. Let's say that you want to go to the bakery. Would you be motivated to go there?

Not very motivated. Yes. Now, what if I tell you why you should go there. I give you a reason. Would that increase your motivation? Most likely, yes.

So if you want to increase your motivation, you must tie a reason to each action when you learn motivation to take any action, you can ask yourself, why do I want to take action? The question is framed in a way that motivates you to take action. And that will give you a reason why you want to take that action. For example, at work, you lack motivation to complete a boring task. You ask yourself the question, why do I want to take action? And you may answer, because if I complete this kind of task well over and over again, I may get to race.

The idea is to find as many reasons as possible, so your brain knows why you should take action, the stronger the reasons, and the more you find, the more motivated you will be to take action. So if you come up with reasons about why you want to do something, you will naturally be more motivated to act. Even if you don't want to do something. The question is framed as Why do I want to take action. So it forces you to find reasons about why you want to do something Not why you are forced to do something. The second question is, what will it cost me?

If I don't take action? Human beings are highly motivated to avoid pain and negative consequences. Let's illustrate that. behind door number one, there is Vladimir, who will hit you. And behind door number two, there is a piggy bank where you must put $1. If you must open the door, which door would you choose?

I guess door number two. How did you come up with the answer? you analyze which one would be less painful, and you took action based on that criteria? To remember last time you procrastinated and at one moment, you told yourself I must do it, otherwise it will be painful. That's what they call negative motivation. For example, you had to write a report or create a presentation.

Then you waited until the last moment and then finally you did it. What happened in your mind, you may be totally If I don't write the report, or prepare the presentation, by tomorrow, I may be fired. In other words, you waited until it was too painful and you took action. The idea is to associate pain and negative consequences. If you don't take action right now, if you do that, it will motivate you to take action immediately. The pain and negative consequences can be real.

For example, if I put my hand in the oven, I will get burnt, or just a perception. If I don't act, I may get fired. When you lack motivation, I encourage you to ask yourself, what will it cost me if I don't ask and come up with answers? And I would like you to feel the answers and I guarantee that you will be motivated to take action, even if there are no direct consequences. If you don't take action, think about what it will cost you in the future emotionally, financially, socially and spiritually if you don't take action right now. The third question is, what are the benefits of taking action?

Human beings are also motivated to take action, if they think that it will lead to pleasure. Let's say you have two boxes, box number one contains $5. And box number two, contains $100. Which would you want to open? Most likely box number two? How did you come up with the with the answer?

You analyze which box had the most benefits? Would you be motivated to take action? If I give you $1,000? Most likely, yes. Yes, it still depends on the action. But if it's a simple action and I, I give you $1,000, you will be highly motivated to take action because of added benefits in that action.

The idea is to add many benefits to the action you want to take. So it becomes highly appealing. The question that you should ask yourself is, what are the benefits of taking action? You make a list and you feel your answers, the more Better. Let's get straight how you can use three questions with an example. You want to go to the gym, but you lack motivation.

The first question that you should ask yourself is, why do I want to take action? Because I want to have that dream body, because I want to be healthier, because I want to be more confident, because I want to look good, and use come up with a reason. The second question is, what will it cost me? If I don't act? You made an answer. I would struggle with my self confidence.

I will be out of shape. I won't achieve my goal. I have higher chances of suffering of the disease. And you go on with all the bad things that could happen. And you must really feel this emotion of pain if you don't take action. The more you feel these negative emotions, the more you will be motivated to avoid this pain.

And the third question is, what are the benefits of taking action? You may say, I'd be proud because I took action. I will be one step closer To my dream body, I will feel fantastic. The more you feel these answers, the more motivated you will be. And you can use these three questions to motivate you to take any action in your life.
