                       Self-Motivation



              Self-motivation is the force that drives you to do things to achieve your goals. It is a life skill that must be necessarily
              developed, to keep you going even in times of setbacks and look for new opportunities in every move of life.

              Self-motivation helps you:
              •  Push yourself to face the challenges of life.
              •  Survive the tough competition in personal and professional life.
              •  By giving you happiness.
              •  By improving your quality of life.
              •  To withstand setbacks, and grow as an individual.
              •  To believe in yourself and convince yourself to do things as and when
                put to you.
              For example, Shristi wakes up at 4 am in the morning to practice for badminton. Her father takes her for coaching
              in the morning from 4 to 6:30 am, then from there she changes for school, and reaches school at 7:30 am. After
              school, she goes straight home and has no outings with friends as she has to do her homework and cope up with
              her studies. Also, eating healthy food and sleeping on time will help her wake up on her own early in the morning
              for practice. Nobody tells her to do this, she does it on her own, and her self-motivation keeps her going to fulfil
              her dreams to be an international badminton player one day.

              Types of Motivation

              It is important to understand that we all are different and our motivational needs vary from person to person.
              There are two broad categories of motivation. Let us learn about them.
