Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation
Self-reflection can lead one to contemplate about how they are motivated to accomplish specific tasks and goals.
Intrinsic Motivation:
Intrinsic motivation is executing an activity for its own sake. Enjoy the activity because it is fun, satisfying or challenging. Not because you’ll get a reward or avoid punishment.
Extrinsic Motivation:
Extrinsic motivation is doing something not because you enjoy it, but rather because you want to receive a reward or avoid punishment. This is the opposite of intrinsic motivation.
