Have you ever wondered why you feel unimaginable to do something despite your best productive efforts? Or why do things seem difficult in paintings, or why sticking to raisins is less difficult for some and harder for others? Motivation is a key detail to complete the task and achieve the goals of your paintings and your non-public life, however, you can’t just pass and acquire it in a store (I wish) or a great magical friend will make you appear. But knowing its motivational flavor can help you create an environment where motivation is less complicated and more natural. Fortunately, we’ve solved a questionnaire that would help you get the right thing to do, and it’s called The Four Trends.
Author Gretchen Rubin, who also wrote The Happiness Project, created the Four Trends Quiz for several years so that other Americans can sense why they do what they do, essentially, what are their motivations and calls to action? To locate him, he focused on a question: “How do we meet expectations?”
Rubin says we all have to put up with external expectations, such as making plans for our bosses or doing anything for our partners, tackling internal expectations, such as learning a new skill or achieving a non-public goal.
What he discovered is that it is part of one of the four trends:
In fact, she wrote a complete bok on the subject. A few years ago, I took your quiz about the four trends and actually replaced the way I paint and see myself.
After answering the questionnaire, I discovered that I am an Obliger. The bonds are suitable for the external expectations of the assembly, but have resistance to internal expectations. It makes a great variety of meaning because I am cautious in the deadlines of assembly and I do things for others, however, I have problems to achieve my own goals and run when I am the only one who owns my devices.
I have discovered that the duty of the Obligaants, to have that sense of external expectations, to hack into their motivation. I did it with my blog to pay my debt. Now I use FocusMate, a smart virtual site, to do my job. And I also post articles about workouts and meditation as a challenge for me on Instagram.
Knowing my trend has replaced the game for me, and maybe the season and your relationship will be sent to others.
Features: Meets external expectations, meets expectations.
In terms of motivation, borrowers prefer external duty and structure. As the call suggests, they force what they are meant to do for others. Bonuses can also get to them without problems. But doing things on your own, such as having non-public goals or doing artistic projects, is complicated without a great apple duty or measuring ability.
In Gretchen Rubin’s report, this sentence best sums up Obligers: “I do what I have to do. I don’t want to let others down, but I may let myself down.”
While assembling external expectations and doing things for others can be natural, also focus on your internal needs.
What obligators can do: guilty partner, have an external board form for percentage of progress, publicly publish targets.
Features: Meets external expectations, meets expectations.
Supporters are threatening to meet domestic and external expectations. They have the expectations they place in themselves, in addition to the ones others place in them.
They don’t struggle so hard about habit and expectations. In fact, they place joy and achievement in the process. If there are non-transparent expectations or deadlines, the holder may have difficulties. It is critical to have clarity and be in a similar agitation with expectations.
What advocates can do: set or ask for transparent expectations and deadlines, set explicit schedules to train, set a schedule based on their goals.
Features: Resist external expectations, meet expectations.
Interrogators are, well, excellent at questions. These are other Americans who ask, “Why do we prefer to do it this way?”
They tend to consult external expectations and cannot respond to an external expectation unless it makes sense to them or feels good, therefore they meet their internal expectations. Therefore, when it is a query, you’ll want to decipher the answers to your queries to understand why you’re explicitly asked. This will help you stay motivated and respond more smoothly to external expectations.
While interrogators can meet their own expectations, they also struggle with external expectations if they don’t make sense or something they don’t want to do. His motivation is based on logic and reason.
What the interlocutors can do: locate the answers to the questions, perceive the reasoning of something, ask bigger questions to discern, it is not uncommon to perceive it.
Features: Resist external expectations, withstand expectations.
There are other Americans who do things their own way, in their own time, and those other Americans are probably rebels. The rebels, as a component of the four trends, resist external and internal expectations. So what motivates the rebels? A feeling of freedom, living in the instant and doing what you feel wise in the instant.
As you can imagine, this is also complicated for both the rebels and the people who paint with them. They will not respond to “your deadline is Monday” as a Obliger would. Rebels tend to withstand strict regulations and controls.
To discern their motivating style, the rebels must specialize in their values and perceive what makes them exclusive and feel authentic. It may also be wise to understand the outcome of acting and doing anything and how this will apply with being rebellious. For example, doing this can be fun, or achieving that goal will lead them to excel in the business, etc.
What rebels can do: find their values and goals and specialize in connecting with effects and emotions in their actions.
