The concept of motivation focuses on explaining what ‘moves’ behavior
It was derived from a Latin word ‘movere’ meaning movement
Motivation is one of the determinants of behavior
Instincts, derives, needs, goals and incentives come under the broad cluster of motivation.
Dr Miguel Farias and Catherine Wikholm explain that while meditation has it's place in our lives it also requires further study before we treat it as cure all for mental illness.
The document discusses stress, including definitions of stress, the neurophysiology and physiology of stress, sources and types of stressors, and strategies for coping with stress. It provides details on Hans Selye's definition of stress as the non-specific response of the body and Richard Lazarus' definition involving demands exceeding resources. The key components of stress are outlined as well as the involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system in the stress response.

This document discusses performance or competitive anxiety in athletes. It begins with defining stress and anxiety, explaining there is an optimal level for athletic performance. Too much anxiety can negatively impact performance, while too little provides no motivation. The bulk of the document then provides a "toolbox" of techniques for managing performance anxiety, including changing self-talk, focusing on the present moment, developing routines, managing emotions, visualizing success, and using techniques like deep breathing. The goal is to help athletes find their optimal level of arousal and focus to perform their best.
The document discusses different theories of motivation from a psychological perspective. It describes instinct theories proposed by William McDougall and William James, as well as drive-reduction theory which posits that physiological needs create arousal states that motivate behavior. The document also discusses incentive theory and cognitive theories of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. A number of biological motives are explored like homeostasis, hunger, and eating disorders. Motivation in work settings is examined along with theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
This document discusses motivation and emotion. It provides definitions of motivation and explains that motivation energizes and directs behavior. It also discusses five major theories of motivation: instinct theory, drive reduction theory, arousal theory, psychoanalytic theory, and humanistic theory. The document then defines emotion and differentiates it from related concepts like feelings and mood. It describes several theories of emotion, including the James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theory, Schachter-Singer theory, Lazarus theory, and facial feedback theory. Finally, it discusses some similarities between motivation and emotion in how they both activate behavior and are linked to energy levels and the relationship between individuals and their environments.
The document discusses various topics related to motivation and emotion, including biological and psychological factors that influence hunger, theories of motivation such as drive-reduction theory and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, and factors that influence sexual motivation such as hormones and Masters and Johnson's model of the sexual response cycle.

Blocked energy in our 7 Chakras can often lead to illness so it's important to understand what each Chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.
Motivation and emotion can be understood through various psychological theories. The evolutionary perspective notes that many behaviors are pre-wired instincts. Drive-reduction theory proposes that organisms engage in behaviors to reduce drives and tensions like hunger. Maslow's hierarchy of needs describes physiological and psychological needs that motivate behavior. Hormones, biological drives, and psychological factors all influence behaviors like eating, sexual motivation, and sexual orientation. Motivation is a complex topic in psychology.

4 Steps for Gym with Meditation by Dr Arvinder Singhkomalnan123
Here some effective tips are explained by Dr Arvinder Singh through which the person can maintain body's fitness and can also get mental peace by spirituality. These steps are simple and a person can enjoy meditation completely.
The document discusses several theories of motivation:
- Instinct Theory proposes that behaviors are genetically inherited and motivated by survival, but cannot explain human variability.
- Drive-Reduction Theory claims humans act to reduce feelings of tension, but this does not explain actions that increase tension.
- Arousal Theory suggests people seek an optimal level of stimulation, but it is difficult to apply to all motivations like sacrificing sleep.
- In conclusion, while theories provide models, human motivation remains complex and cannot be fully simplified. Maslow's Hierarchy presents a more comprehensive approach than previous theories.
Motivation refers to an internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction.
Emotion is a state involving pattern of facial and bodily changes, cognitive appraisals, subjective feelings, and tendencies toward action.
Emotions are positive or negative feelings generally in reaction to stimuli that are accompanied by physical, psychological arousal and related behavior.
Emotions give life its feeling and meaning. They enrich life. Without emotions, things would be quite a routine and dull.
The document discusses arousal and the arousal theory of motivation. The arousal theory of motivation suggests that people take actions to either decrease or increase their levels of arousal in order to maintain an optimal level of arousal. Examples provided include a youngster who feels low going to hang out with friends to increase arousal, and feeling curious about a crush's comment on social media causing high arousal. The document also asks if the reader enjoys high-arousal activities like rollercoasters, skydiving, and challenges.

This document discusses the relationship between science, spirituality, and the nature of the self and reality. It argues that:
- While science is based on logic and empiricism, these have inherent flaws due to the illusory nature of human consciousness and perception of self.
- Spirituality, through practices like meditation, can allow people to transcend their normal consciousness and experience a "pure consciousness" state that provides a less subjective and more objective view of reality beyond the limitations of reason and senses.
- Mystical experiences facilitated by meditation practices from ancient traditions can inhibit brain activity and provide a glimpse of a "primal integral self" that grounds a less subjective perception of the absolute truths of self and reality

Consumer behavior is driven by motivations and emotions. Consumers feel positive emotions when motivations are satisfied and negative emotions when motivations are not satisfied. Motivations arise from needs, which can be physiological, emotional, or cognitive. When needs are aroused but not satisfied, tension and drive occur directing behavior towards either approach or avoidance. Several theories seek to explain consumer motivation and emotion, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs, self-determination theory, attitude function theory, regulatory focus theory, balance theory, and cognitive dissonance theory. Mood also influences consumer evaluations and judgments in complex ways according to models like the mood-as-information model and affect confirmation model.

Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. It includes many physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes. We first explore physical development.
In a nutshell, an individual is composed of three basic, but very different aspects of the self. They are the physical or tangible aspects as they relate to the body, the intellectual and conscious aspects as they relate to the mind, and the emotional and intuitive aspects as they relate to the spirit. All three aspects of the self work together in perfect harmony when attention is paid to all three simultaneously.
Adolescents experience an overall physical growth spurt. The growth proceeds from the extremities toward the torso. This is referred to as distal-proximal development. In other words, you may see the hands grow, then the arms, and finally the torso. The overall physical growth spurt means increases of about 10-11 inches in height and 50 to 75 pounds in weight. The head begins to grow sometime after the feet have gone through their period of growth

The overall message is that nurturing mental well-being through these practices can help manage stress, anxiety, and depression.
The document discusses techniques for embodying leadership through awareness of one's physical presence and alignment of head, heart, and body language, especially in stressful situations where common default responses can be fight, flight, or freeze. Exercises are presented where participants experience being "grabbed" and must recenter themselves physically and mentally to connect with others. The goal is to gain voluntary control over one's responses to stressors through repetition to embody leadership qualities.

Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any

standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this

FOUR
EXERCISES
The
opposite
of
and
antidote
to
the
physical
state
of
smallness
is
a
state
of
centered
expansiveness.
This
state
of
calm
alertness
and
compassionate
power
moves
our
thinking
and
acting
toward
empathic,
assertive
and
peaceful
ways
of
handling
conflicts.
In
addition
to
this
written
description
of
the
exercises,
there
is
a
video
available
which
covers
the
same
material.
RELAXED
CORE:
Let
your
tongue
hang
softly
in
your
mouth.
Most
people
will
feel
that
this
relaxes
the
muscles
around
the
neck
and
shoulders.
Let
your
shoulders
and
your
armpits
hang
loose
and
notice
the
effect
on
the
rest
of
your
body.
Let
your
belly
plop
loose.
Let
your
legs
hang
on
the
ground.
When
you
breathe,
where
is
the
movement
in
your
body?
Up
into
your
chest
per-‐
haps?
That
is
fear/startle
breathing.
As
you
inhale,
let
your
belly
expand.
Your
chest
should
also
expand
as
you
inhale,
and
the
focus
of
the
breathing
movement
will
be
on
relaxing/expanding
the
belly.
Most
people
find
this
very
calming.
SMILING
HEART:
Everyone
has
something
or
someone
that
makes
their
heart
smile—perhaps
a
friend,
a
child,
a
flower,
a
piece
of
music.
Stand
with
your
eyes
closed,
and
spend
a
moment
thinking
about
whatever
it
is
that
makes
your
heart
smile.
What
happens
in
your
body?
Most
people
experience
a
softening
and
warmth
in
their
chest,
and
a
freeing
up
in
their
entire
body.
Can
you
use
your
image
while
you
are
in
a
conflict
to
keep
your
body
stabilized
in
the
sense
of
compassion?
That
would
alter
your
relationship
to
your
opponent.
POWER:
Power
is
necessary
to
allow
us
to
function
in
a
loving
and
peaceful
man-‐
ner.
Love
without
power
is
weak
and
ineffective.
And
of
course
power
without
love
is
brutal
and
destructive.
The
development
of
power
starts
with
postural
stability.
Stand
in
front
of
a
chair,
and
get
ready
to
sit
down
–
but
in
a
new
way.
With
each
hand,
touch
your
hip
joints.
Not
the
hip
bones
–
which
are
the
top
edge
of
the
pelvis,
but
the
hip
joints
–
which
are
in
the
fold
where
the
legs
bend.
Imagining
a
line
from
the
hip
joints
to
the
tailbone,
push
your
tailbone
back
and
down
along
that
line.
This
will
lean
your
torso
forward,
but
not
too
much.
It
will
take
you
down
to
a
sitting
po-‐
sition.
This
way
of
sitting
down
creates
a
posture
that
is
very
strong
yet
without
ef-‐
fort
(see
the
photo
on
the
next
page).
Most
people
feel
calm,
alert,
and
dignified
in
this
posture.

SHINING:
Imagine
that
you
are
a
star
or
a
firefly
or
a
light
bulb.
What
do
you
do?
You
shine.
Feel
every
inch(or
cen-‐
timeter)
of
your
skin
glowing
outward,
as
you
shine
in
eve-‐
ry
direction—as
far
out
as
you
wish.
How
does
that
feel?
Most
people
experience
this
as
spacious
and
calm.
Some
people
find
it
easier
to
imagine
something
concrete
to
reach
their
awareness
to-‐
ward.
A
popular
image
is
that
of
reaching
toward
slices
of
pizza.
5. 5
APPLICATION
How
would
you
use
this
body
awareness
process
during
a
conflict?
It
will
not
itself
be
the
solution
to
the
conflict,
but
it
will
enable
you
to
think
and
act
more
freely
and
come
up
with
a
solution
if
one
is
possible.
If
you
give
in
to
the
distress
responses,
that
set
of
hardwired
physical
reflexes
will
move
you
in
the
direction
of
alienation
and
aggression.
Body-‐based
self-‐regulation
(Embodied
Peacemaking)
enables
people
to
con-‐
trol
their
fear
and
anger
and
act
peacefully.
Deliberately
widening
and
opening
yourself
in
the
midst
of
conflict
allows
a
cooperative
peace
process
to
begin
unfold-‐
ing.
If
you
stay
centered,
you
will
not
see
the
other
person
as
an
enemy
or
feel
the
urge
to
hurt
him/her.
If
the
conflict
involves
a
physical
attack,
though
it
is
counterintuitive,
being
kind
and
generous
will
free
your
body
so
that
you
can
fight
more
effectively
–
if
fighting
is
the
only
choice.
In
the
usual
verbal
disputes,
body-‐based
self-‐regulation
enables
people
to
stay
focused
on
the
substance
of
the
dispute
and
not
get
distracted
by
the
emotions
that
are
stirred
up
by
the
dispute.
Beyond
that,
if
you
notice
that
your
emotions
are
hijacking
the
dispute
and
preventing
calm,
respectful
dialoging,
you
could
ask
for
a
5-‐minute
body
awareness
and
breathing
break.
FURTHER
PRACTICE
How
can
you
go
further
in
learning
and
using
Embodied
Peacemaking?
Daily
practice
of
the
exercises
described
here

group
to
have
partners
to
practice
with.
