Love As The Ultimate Motivator
/What motivates you?
We as humans are driven by our emotions. Two of the strongest are fear, and love.
Moment by moment we have the opportunity to choose which emotion we pay the closest attention to. Fear can lead us to a place of anxiety and panic, whereas love can bring us growth and healing.
In which areas of life are you ready to let love lead the way?
In Your Relationships
Whether romantic or platonic, love has a powerful impact on every one of our relationships. It’s not surprising that many quotes about love are about friendship, romance, and other interaction dynamics.
Love connects us. It inspires us to reach out. Love, no matter the type, also motivates us to exhibit certain behaviors to fulfill the need for belonging. How has love motivated you to change, or to stay the same, in your relationships?
In Your Career
The more love you have for your job, the more likely you are to perform better at it. Love for your work can motivate you to tackle challenges, show up fully, and achieve great goals no matter what kind of day you’re having.
Love for your work can motivate you to find creative solutions to problems, work cohesively with your team, and take pride in doing the best work you can.
Work with passion and find a balance between applying yourself wholeheartedly and being sure not to overwork yourself or sacrifice too much and risk feeling resentful later on.
In Self-Care
Self-care is about taking time to improve your mental, physical and emotional health. That includes being consistent and making the best decisions concerning those aspects throughout your life. Love prevents self-sabotage, even when it’s the easiest thing to do at any time. You’ll experience a surge of happiness, open-mindedness, confidence, and positivity when love is your number one self-care motivator. You’ll also get a clearer picture of who you are and what you want, making it easier to avoid negative energy.
Surround yourself with love and positivity. Let it increase your motivation, help you find balance, and bring you connection and community in all areas of your life.
