How Are You Motivated?

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.

Cause & Effects of Sleep Quality

Here is another post digging deeper into:

The Importance of a Good Night’s Rest

What we do during the waking hours, often determines how well we sleep at night. How well we sleep and how much determines how the quality of our waking hours is utilized. By practicing stress relieving exercises and habits during the day, the mind and body can more easily process information and rejuvenate during the sleep stages. Sleep requirements vary depending upon age, mental and physical conditions.

Recommended Hours of Sleep

Are you low on energy? Hard to focus throughout the day? Many chronic illnesses can be attributed to poor sleep. More serious diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, are thought to be directly related to not achieving sufficient recovery during the sleep cycle.

STRESS affects REST!

Side Effects of Poor Sleep

Sleep Time Graphic

Each phase of our day is intimately interconnected with the others. What you do or don’t do during the waking hours will definitely affect the quality of the sleep time. Then the quality of the sleep affects your energy and outlook going into the next day. This can make a never ending cycle that continues until you decide to make it change.

Sleep Cycles graphic2

During the sleep cycle our body needs adequate time and quality rest to perform daily maintenance and restoration. Additionally, the brain waves need to change and slow in order for this restoration to take place.

Mental activity can become stressful when trying to work, solve problems, manage a family, finances and juggling hundreds of other daily tasks. Physical activity, relaxing and enjoyable activities are key components to balancing this daily stress. A good night’s rest is earned, by what eat, what you think about and what types of physical activity is executed throughout the day.

Breath Management Activities

Tai Chi, bagauzhang and qigong are all methods of exercise that also embody the philosophy balancing physical exercise with mental engagement to relieve stress and tension, while also increasing the flow of energy ( and blood flow) within the body improving health and well-being.

Daily Energy Flow in the 12 Main Meridians

The Horary Clock (Circadian Rhythm) – 24 Hour Qi Flow Though the Meridians
Here is another graphic presentation of the Horary Clock or Circadian Rhythm showing more of the relationship to the 5 Element Theory.
.
Understanding how the human body works and interacts within nature, along with self-awareness are the basis of Traditional Chinese medicine.
.
The graphic shows what is known as the Horary cycle or the Circadian Clock. As Qi (energy) makes its way through the meridians, each meridian in turn with its associated organ, has a two-hour period during which it is at maximum energy. The Horary Effect is recognizable by measurable increases of Qi within an organ system and meridian during its time of maximum energy.
.
Daily Energy FLow-Meridians
.
Some activities are better to execute in accordance with the energy being more present in a particular organ at the specific time of day.
Harmonizing Habits:
5-7am – Wake Up, Move Bowels, Meditate
7-9am – Sex, Breakfast, Walk, Digest
9-11am – Work, Best Concentration
11am-1pm – Eat Main Meal of Day, Walk
1-3pm – Absorb Food, Short Nap, Work
3-5pm – Work or Study
5-7pm – Exercise, Light Dinner
7-9pm – Light Reading, Massage Feet
9-11pm – Calm Socializing, Flirting, Sex
11pm-1am – Go to Sleep, Cellular Repair
1-3am – Deep Sleep, Detox Liver & Blood
3-5am – Deep Sleep, Detox Lungs
.
Tai Chi, yoga and qigong are all methods that increase the flow of energy within the body improving health and well-being.

Be well, stay healthy, be wise!
