            Types of Motivation
            Let us now learn about types of motivation.

            Internal Motivation: LOVE
            We should do things that make us happy, healthy, and feel good. For example, when you perform on your
            Sports  ay function and you learn something new  such as exercises  race and other sport events.

            External Motivation: REWARD
            Many times, we do things because they give us respect, recognition, and appreciation. For example, John
            participated in a 200m race and won a prize. This motivated him to go for practice every morning regularly.

            Building Self-motivation

            There are four steps for building self-motivation:
            1. Find out your strengths by identifying your likes, dislikes, and things that make you happy, for example, singing.
             . Set and focus on your goals by fixing your targets and using all your energy to achieve them.

             .  evelop a plan by planning and setting time-line to meet your goals.
             . Stay loyal to your goals by continuing to work towards them even in di cult times or stress.

               SELF-REGULATION: GOAL SETTING

            Self-regulation refers to self-acting or self-operating. One’s self or
            inner ability to control and manage emotions, thoughts, behaviour
            and energy state, so that one can produce positive results for life is
            self-regulation.  eveloping this  uality re uires emotional  control-
            wise introspection and sustaining focus.

            Goal setting is an essential factor in deciding how to live your life
            where you want to be or how you want to be in the future.
            Person who is good at self-regulation can cope well with changes and
            ad ust to different situations easily.  e takes the changes positively
            and sees them as exciting opportunity for self-development.

              S ecific: It involves a specific and clear goal.  e need to answer  uestions like:
               “ ho all are involved in the goal ”  “ hat do I want to do ”  “ here do I start from ”  “ hen do I start and
