Next Question!

Do you think inspiration is the same as motivation and can be harnessed in the same way?

Well, firstly;

And secondly, I think that inspiration and motivation can be similar, but aren't totally the same thing? Motivation is like, 'Yeah, go do the thing!' Whereas inspiration is more like, 'Wow, it would be cool if I did the thing.' Does that make sense?

I think they are similar. It helps to be inspired in order to be motivated. Therefore I think inspiration is the driving point, but motivation is the actual doing.

It's harder to be forced into inspiration. Eg, being chased by a bear doesn't inspire me to run, but it does motivate me.

@Alison5 ah I love that analogy 🙂 I think it's because inspiration comes from a place of positivity, whereas as we've already discussed, fear can be a big contributor to motivation

I think motivation is something that often comes from inspiration. In other words if you're really inspired to do something then you become much more likely to want to do the thing, so motivation happens! 🙂

I think inspiration is coming up with the initial idea of doing something, and motivation is what helps us put the idea into practice 🙂 I suppose they can both be harnessed in similar ways too

that is one terrifying meme (the bear one) @lokifish 😧

I think they are pretty much interchangeable. I'm not convinced you can have one without the other. Whenever something inspires me I feel motivated!

Although would we call it motivation when we are desperately trying to get something done before a deadline but are not feeling inspired at all to do it? Or would there be another word for that?

Okay everyone, next question;

 

Do you find making goals helps you to feel motivated? Do you stick to them?

Sup folks!

Only extremely short term goals I feel. The instant gratification feels so much stronger than long term ones, like getting the mythical "higher grades" haha. I stick to these ones, though long term ones are much harder. If you're motivated to stick to long term goals, you'll do better (which is weird I guess. Motivation to stick to motivation). 

 

Reminds me of those lollies on every couple sentences on a textbook to fuel your motivation 🙂

As @lokifish said - positive reinforcement is key. This could come from others or from yourself. Ticking things off my to-do list serves as positive reinforcement for me 🙂

@RevzZ I agree - short term goals are the only goals that seem to work out/are specific enough to actually complete 😛 ....remember your SMART goals people :'(

@May_ i actually feel the opposite, im better with long term goals it give me something to focus on and run towards. short term goals tend to scare me and i break down and say i just cant do it
