Balancing Internal and External Motivation for Optimal Growth at Healing Hour

Welcome to Healing Hour, where we delve into the intricate dynamics of internal and external motivation during therapy sessions with Abhishek Faria. Grasping the balance between these motivational forces is essential for fostering lasting growth and fulfillment.
Foundations of Motivation:Internal motivators such as needs, cognitions, and emotions form the core of self-determined behavior (Reeve, 2018). According to Deci and Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2020), intrinsic motivation—driven by internal needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness—is more satisfying and enduring compared to extrinsic motivation. This intrinsic drive, originating from the fulfillment of psychological needs, encourages individuals to engage in behavior that is persistent and meaningful.
Role of External Factors:At Healing Hour, individual therapy sessions with Abhishek Faria explore how external factors like incentives, consequences, and social contexts influence motivation. We recognize that when external events align with personal values and goals, they can effectively complement and enhance intrinsic motivations. For example, in a professional context, the allure of career advancement or social recognition can significantly boost motivation, supporting personal growth and fulfillment.
Complementary Dynamics:Our therapeutic approach acknowledges that internal and external motivations are not opposing forces but rather complementary. Through personalized therapy sessions, we assist individuals in navigating and harmonizing these motivations, aiming for a balanced approach that drives sustained growth and satisfaction. By merging intrinsic passions with external rewards and recognition, individuals can achieve a more enriching and continuous motivation.
Conclusion:In summary, understanding the interplay between internal and external motivation is crucial for self-discovery, growth, and fulfillment. At Healing Hour, guided by Abhishek Faria, we offer a supportive environment to explore these dynamics and achieve a balanced approach that promotes enduring personal development and well-being.
