Is it the traditional way of distinguishing rewards and punishments? Or is it driven by the heart?

Daniel Pinker's Driving Force says that people have three driving forces.

The first is the biological drive from basic survival needs.

The second is external motivation, that is, carrot and stick mode with both rewards and punishments.

The third is internal motivation, that is, the inner desire to do a good job.

Reality shows that the third driving force is the best way to stimulate and mobilize enthusiasm, so how should we stimulate our own third driving force?

The prerequisite for us to be independent is that we like, like being responsible and willing to pay attention, which will make this matter particularly important. Like can drive everything. This is the first element.

The second is to have autonomy, that is, to be able to decide what to do, when to do it, with whom and how to do it. These are not limited to stimulating greater creativity.

The most obvious example is that at home and abroad, domestic parents tend to force their children to take the right path, even if they don't like it or are not suitable for it.

However, developed countries pay more attention to the free development of children, find out their preferences and specialties, and guide and cultivate them. This kind of open education, which conforms to children's interests, can stimulate children's creativity.

It can be seen that the motivation of learning caused by interest must be more lasting and stronger than that caused by utilitarian goals.

When you have the desire to do it well, it is easier to enter a state of concentration.

For example, when watching movies in the cinema, we can easily enter the movie scene. With the development of the plot, our mood fluctuates, temporarily forgetting the time, the place and who we are. Or play games, you will have the same experience.

This kind of experience psychologists call "flow" experience.

Teacher Wan Weigang's interpretation of Theft of Fire also talked about the experience of "flow of heart", that is, people can devote themselves to an activity, forget themselves, forget time, do things effortlessly, have a good time and be full of pleasure. It is also the best experience when the challenge and ability are just moderate.

In fact, it is to achieve a state of "forgetting me". Immersing yourself in a deep world will make people feel highly excited and full, and even unwilling to be interrupted.

If you want to motivate yourself to do a good job and achieve this "flow" state, you need to create it yourself. There are two principles to create "flow".

First of all, the task should not be too difficult or too simple. If it is too difficult, there will be frustration and anxiety. Too simple and not challenging, resulting in no feeling.

The second is to turn work into play, and everyone is playful. When you are in a playful state, it is easy for you to enter a state of "flow".

With the ability to enter the "flow" experience, it is necessary to set goals, set clear goals, and the clearer the goals, the more focused they are.

For example, set goals beyond personal interests and find out what you really want.

Two kinds of goals, external and internal.

The external goal is prosperity, success and interest orientation. The intrinsic goal is to be willing to help improve the lives of others and let people grow better. This goal comes from within.

Driving force is an innate ability, which can really stimulate and mobilize enthusiasm, learn to open the driving force, find a "flowing" experience, and finally dominate your life.
