1. Why Motivation & Behavior Are Important
Motivation gets us into action – behavior determines whether we stick with it.
Success arises when motivation turns into stable habits.
Those who understand and manage both achieve their goals more sustainably and easily.
2. Basics & Explanation
- Motivation:
- Intrinsic: Driven by inner values and enjoyment of the activity.
- Extrinsic: Controlled by external rewards or pressure.
- Behavior:
- The sum of all actions that influence our goals.
- Strongly shaped by routines, environment, and triggers.
- Bestforming Logic: Motivation is the spark, behavior is the embers – only together do they keep the fire burning.
3. Challenges & Risks
- Motivational slumps: Initial euphoria often fades after a short time.
- Wrong incentives: Rewards or punishments only work in the short term.
- Environment: An unsupportive environment makes behavior change harder.
- Steps that are too big: Overwhelm leads to quitting.
4. Tips & First Steps
- Choose small steps: Better to take small actions daily than big ones rarely.
- Use triggers: Link behavior to existing routines (e.g., after brushing your teeth, do 10 squats).
- Renew motivation: Regularly reflect on your vision and values.
- Make successes visible: Document progress to boost motivation.
- Adjust your environment: Choose people and structures that support your behavior.
