Hey folks i have question What are the key factors determining motivation? Any tips to cure lazyness getting up and actually doing shit is a good start but how can you help yourself in this journey :love:
I dont think this forum is made of drug addicted hippies i rather see as a place where positive minded gather to share stuff with each other We talked about getting your ass and doing something lets move on from there like putting reminders etc haha
When you have a real need to survive, you'll have motivation. Weed has nothing to do with it. Do your parents pay your bills?
Yes they do pay my bills im grateful for that im studying at university. I am gonna work this summer gonna plant some trees hehe Other than that lets talk some aspects which can motive us about ART
I don't know about that, but I do know that work motivates you. So you want to make art, start working at it and not talking about it. Soon enough the work aspect will not feel like work.
habit. just do what you need to do for a while, and pretty soon you'll be so used to doing stuff you won't even consider not getting stuff done.
This always helps. Use the desire to get to the objective and use the objective to get a planning that will get you there. Oh yeah, and do what your planning says
Motivational training comes to mind. Seriously, most people don't really want anything overly specific of themselves. Sorry, Americans, but there is nothing 'personal' about this notion of an innate want, destiny or vocation in life - this is the $ystem working its coercive magic through your dreams and aspirations. When you're young, dumb and full of cum, you might fancy being rich, famous, powerful, etc. The function of education is to channel this urge to be 'successful' towards the vocational reality of actually existing/available jobs. This is how higher education, while nominally encouraging students to be bold and dream the unimaginable, routinely churns out generic systems managers. Let's be honest: most work, even if you're lucky enough to enjoy some 'creative' imput, involves just that: work, drudgery, an endless procession of mundane micro-tasks which if you weren't being rewarded for doing, you'd most likely say, 'fuck dat shit!' to, instead devoting yourself to more instantly pleasurable activities, like masturbation. So how to stay motivated? There are basically two - conflicting - models on the subject: on the one hand there's the manufactured 'motivation' effected by advertising, propaganda and NLP-based psychic doctoring. It is essentially a form of hypnosis, operating on the idea that you have neither 'innate' nor 'contextual' preference for this or that. Basically, it works not by encouraging you to 'look inside' and ask what it is you want, but by removing the resistances and 'negative thought patterns' that prevent you from wanting what the $ystem requires you to want. As a Freudian, I'd say there's a relation between this kind of motivation-as-economic-discipline, and the recurrent phenomenon of irate students and employees taking guns to school and work, respectively, and killing everything that moves. Demagogues and their ilk always dream of 'engineering away' all anti-$ocial behavior, but in disavowing the negativity at the heart of the human animal, only manage to suppress its symptoms. Probably not the answer your were looking for, but whatever. Basically, if you don't want to be a pre-programmed drone, you need to get to know yourself. You need to ask yourself what are the things that you value? The next step is asking what these preferences entail for what you want to do. Once this is determined, you need to silence all conflicting whims and wants, and make a vow to keep at it, despite what setbacks may come. Say you set out to learn to play guitar. I'm an autodidact and am 'motivated' to expand my guitar playing because, well, I love it, and I feel there's few things as awesome as guitar music. In my circle, I've always been the guitar-dude, inspiring others to pick up axes themselves. Sometimes they keep at it, but most actually give up long before acquiring basic muscle memory to easily switch between chords. Are these people just what is known as lazy? Maybe. But they are also subjects to a $ystem more encouraging of fleeing whims than strong, sustained desire. So oftentimes, you'll see that people might fancy the idea of something (e.g. learning how to play guitar), but then this idea turns out to be more whim than will (what they're actually thinking is 'think of how cool I'd look with a guitar!') and they find themselves 'unmotivated' to practice. If your desire lacks gravity, you'll find yourself struggling to stay motivated - and in the end subjecting yourself to all kinds of creepy masters and gurus teaching you what it is you want.
