Think …about what you want, how bad you want it, and how it connects with WHO you are. This is intrinsic motivation.

To get into an “energy – motivation” frame of mind, try and see your mind’s usual activities -thoughts, beliefs, expectations, and the usual ongoing banter we all tend to listen to – try to see all it from a different perspective.

Try to see them as a function of a much deeper part of your Self. A part of yourself which “senses” the world around you.

It’s the part that was mentioned in the introduction. It’s the part that feels the energy around you …

* when you’re in love, and that person walks through the door
* that part of you that can sense the energy in a room, immediately
* that part of you that knows something’s going to happen and it does.

These experiences happen at our Energy Level; a level that lies much deeper than where our minds can go. The Energy Level is where motivation is at its purest, and where the genuine expression of
intrinsic motivation begins.

Granted, if you’re like most people, stopping the barrage of thoughts running through your mind takes tremendous effort. What we’re trying to do here is to merely “refocus” our mind on the energy behind the barrage.

It’s like – instead of looking across a field at a forest, looking directly at the tree in the center of the forest. The tree in the center is your focus, while the forest becomes the blur.

It takes practice, no doubt; yet still, it’s a natural ability we all have.

It’s a flow …from one focus

* words, thoughts, judgments

…to another

* vibes, energy, breath.

This is the mindset we want to be in when we think about our dream, or goal.

When we were kids, this is how we saw our dreams. We even went so far as to “experience” the dream right then and there.

As kids, we tapped directly INTO the Energy of our dreams simply because we could. We knew we could, it felt good, so we did it.

Same thing here. This is the root of intrinsic motivation.
