3. Motivation…

4. When we don’t have it:
How does it feel?
Unmoved
Apathetic
Tired
Lazy
We wonder why we are not getting our goals achieved.

6. But really these are reactions aren’t they?

10. Maslow
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology
proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper
"A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review. ...

12. He suggested that in order for motivation to occur at the next
level, each level must be satisfied within the individual
themselves.

13. Physiological
Needs at the bottom of the
pyramid are basic
food,
water,
sleep,
and
warmth.

14. In addition to the basic requirements of
nutrition,
air and temperature regulation,
the physiological needs also include such things
as shelter and clothing
*Maslow also included the need to have children

15. Safety
Some of the basic security and safety needs
include:
Financial security
Heath and wellness
Safety against accidents and injury

16. ● Having a good job
● Obtaining health insurance
● Health care
● Contributing money to a savings account,
● Moving into a safer neighborhood
All examples of actions motivated by the security
and safety needs.
Together, the safety and physiological
levels of the hierarchy make up what is
often referred to as the basic needs.

17. Social Needs
The social needs in Maslow’s hierarchy include
such things as
● love
● acceptance, and
● belonging.
At this level, the need for emotional relationships
drives human behavior. Some of the things that
satisfy this need include:

18. Friendships
Romantic attachments
Family
Social groups
Community groups
Churches and religious organizations

19. Esteem Needs
oes involvement in other groups that might include
religious groups, sports teams, book clubs, and
other group activities.
Esteem Needs
At the fourth level in Maslow’s hierarchy is the
need for appreciation and respect. When the needs
at the bottom three levels have been satisfied, the
esteem needs begin to play a more prominent role
in motivating behavior.
Participation in professional
activities, academic
accomplishments, athletic or team
participation, and personal hobbies
can all play a role in fulfilling the
esteem needs

20. ● respect and appreciation of others
● accomplish things
● have their efforts recognized
● accomplishment and prestige
● Feeling of self-esteem and personal worth
● sense that they are valued and by others
● contribution to the world
People who are able to satisfy the esteem needs
by achieving good self-esteem and the
recognition of others tend to feel confident in
their abilities.

21. Psychological
Needs
Together, the esteem and social levels make up
what is known as the psychological needs of the
hierarchy.
Those who lack self-esteem and the respect of
others can develop feelings of inferiority.

22. Self-Actualization Needs
Self-Actualization Needs
At the very peak of Maslow’s hierarchy are the
self-actualization needs.
"What a man can be, he must be,"
Maslow explained, referring to the need people
have to achieve their full potential as human
beings.

23. "It may be loosely described as the full use and exploitation of talents,
capabilities, potentialities, etc. Such people seem to be fulfilling themselves and to
be doing the best that they are capable of doing... They are people who have
developed or are developing to the full stature of which they capable."
Self-actualizing people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less
concerned with the opinions of others, and interested fulfilling their potential.

25. Self Actualizing...
"Life is an ongoing process of choosing between
safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk
(for the sake of progress and growth). Make the
growth choice a dozen times a day."
Abraham Maslow

27. Once you know your personality, make it a priority to set up an
environment that encourages you to develop successfully. With or
without the test if you do these things you’ll be more motivated and thus
experience more success.

28. Create a Supportive Environment –
The people
tools
and atmosphere around you need to be supportive in your perception.
It doesn’t matter if your boss thinks they’re supportive, but you feel that
they’re not.
If you feel unsupported, you’re not going to be able to be as creative
and successful as you could be otherwise.

29. Be Accountable for Your Actions
Hire someone or ask someone in your life now to hold you
accountable for your actions.
People who have accountability partners or coaches to help them
see their plan through to fruition will experience a lot more
success in life.

30. Decide When and Where You’ll “DO”
Whatever it is, you need to know the
Who
When
What
Why
and how of what you’ll do.
If you have all that decided it’s going to be a lot
easier to commit and follow through with your plan.

31. Commit to a Plan
When you decide to create a plan and commit to it, you’ll
see results a lot sooner than someone who is acting
without a plan in place regardless of motivation.
You can be completely unmotivated but follow through
with your plan anyway. A great way to help your plan
materialize is to create a checklist so that you can go
through it each day and mark off what you’ve achieved.

32. Start Sooner Rather Than Later
For example, let’s say you want to lose weight
and get healthy.
Don’t wait until Friday or Monday to start.
Instead, start now.
The sooner you start the sooner your brain
will catch up with your actions and accept that
this is your new way of doing things.
