Intrinsic Motivation
![Page 3: Motivating Change: ppt](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55821f71d8b42ac7728b55ba/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What’s the difference?
External Motivation: Wanting to lose weight before a wedding, or beach vacation. Internal (Instrinsic) Motivation comes from within, and is driven partly by belief in yourself to succeed, and that your goals and actions will reinforce your reason for changing. One example might be to lose weight to avoid heart disease, which runs in the family.

Find your Fire• Intrinsic Motivation = Success When you know what motivates you, it is easier to set
goals, gather support, find information in relation to the change you are trying to make, and stay focused.

If this is you…focus on a longer term goal, rather than one with more immediate gratification, such as a half-marathon or a 3-day walking event for charity.

Curiosity
Is your attention sparked when you hear a co-worker is taking a new fitness class, or has a fabulous new recipe for low-sugar brownies?
Satisfy your curiosity with something new, such as yoga, PiYo, Barre, Zumba, IndoRow, SurfSet, outdoor bootcamp, geocaching, etc.

Control
If you have a tendency to need to control what happens to you, then you will be motivated by activities, events or situations that allow to you to be in control.
• Try charting your progress with an App like Meal Snap, Runkeeper, or a FitBit

Imagination
If you are stimulated by imagining situations or events that haven’t actually happened yet, then using mental images that reinforce what you learn or want to become will motivate you.
Try visualizing the outcome you want. Create an image in your head of yourself succeeding. How do you look? Feel?
