EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, October 31, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain behaviour. It represents the reasons for people's actions, desires and needs. Motivation can also be defined as one's direction to behaviour or what causes a person to want to repeat a behaviour. Without motivation it is practically impossible for people to pursue and achieve their goals.

1. Be a success seeker - it is important to be a success seeker rather than a failure avoider. Finding self-motivation is about reframing the way a person talks to themselves.
2. Stop comparing yourself to others - when falling behind your goals, it is very tempting to look around at everyone else who seems to be achieving theirs. This will only undermine a person's confidence. It is important to focus on yourself and the actions to help yourself get back on track.
3. Understand your purpose - if a person knows the impact that their work will have it will motivate them to achieve better.
4. Keep a daily diary - it is important for a person to record their progress. This will empower a person when they look back and see the progress that has been made.
5. Remember where you started - every now and then look back to the very beginning and compare it to where you are now. This will be very motivational.
6. Don't fear criticism - when receiving feedback it is important for a person to keep their emotions in check. Approach criticism with a clear head and view it as being constructive.
7. Spend time with smart people - this can sometimes be daunting, but overall it will challenge someone to work harder.
8. Rely on habits - by practicing habits, good working practices will flow much better.
9. Visualise your goals - by keeping your goals in clear vision, a person will be more motivated towards achieving them.
"Motivation can come from both internal and external sources," states the Managing Director of Blue Branch, Rania Noumaan. "External sources include teachers, trainers, mentors and even peers. Whereas a person has to rely on themselves for an internal source of motivation. This is why it is important to use various steps to help maintain internal motivation," added Rania Noumaan.
