I've learned from my graduate's psychology classes that when we aren't feeling motivated, we often aren't accomplishing our goals.
Motivation is crucial to getting things done. When we complete individual tasks, our brains release dopamine which causes positive feelings such as happiness, pleasure, and motivation.
When we are positively motivated to do something, we not only take pleasure in completing the task at hand, we also attribute positive feelings towards repeating the process.
This process is called "self-directed learning." This is why achieving small wins along our projects keeps us motivated to continue working on our projects.
I had been needing to tackle the job of maintenance on my Goldwing.
Yesterday with my friend's (Duane) help I was able to tackle the job of the rear end gear lube change, zerts lube and another oil change on my Goldwing Trike.
I now do feel stoked! 🤸 🍻 Tasks Completed... I am ready to ride north & home as soon as the weather permits.
Now if only I can accomplish some home projects I've been putting off when I get back.
I am positive it will happen! 👏
