Motivation Psychology

Motivation psychology involves understanding biological, emotional and psychological influences that shape our desires, goals and our commitment towards them. The Elation Institute's motivation psychology course provides you with a practical framework for understanding and implementing strategies oriented towards goal achievement through purpose, determination and resilience.

The key factors of motivation psychology include a set of skills and abilities that collectively enable individuals to outline life goals and then move towards them using purpose, commitment, grit and resilience.

Self-awareness: This involves recognizing and understanding our own emotions, as well as being aware of how our emotions impact your thoughts, decisions, and behaviors. Self-awareness allows individuals to accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses, understand their values and goals, and recognize their emotional triggers.
Self-regulation: Self-regulation refers to the ability to manage and control our emotions, impulses, and behaviors in healthy and productive ways. It involves staying calm under pressure, adapting to changing circumstances, and maintaining a positive outlook. Self-regulated individuals are able to think before acting, control disruptive emotions like anger or anxiety, and bounce back from setbacks more effectively.
Drive: Drive involves harnessing emotions to drive towards personal and professional goals. Motivated individuals demonstrate initiative, persistence, and a drive to achieve excellence. They are able to set and work towards meaningful goals, even in the face of challenges or obstacles.
Grit: Grit refers to the perseverance and passion for long-term goals. It’s the ability to maintain effort and interest over extended periods, even in the face of adversity, setbacks, and plateaus.
Resilience: Resilience refers to the ability to adapt and bounce back in the face of adversity, trauma, or significant stress. It involves coping effectively with challenges, maintaining a positive outlook, and even thriving despite difficult circumstances.
Social skills: Social skills encompass a range of abilities related to managing relationships and social interactions effectively. This includes communication skills (both verbal and non-verbal), teamwork, conflict resolution, negotiation, and leadership. Individuals with strong social skills are able to build rapport easily, collaborate with others, and influence positively.

Being well versed in Motivation psychology is crucial for personal and professional success. It enables individuals to outline goals, move towards them effectively, make sound decisions, and cope with stress more adaptively.
