How I Overcame the Motivation Trap (it's not willpower)
🌲 Build a bulletproof learning system ➔ www.cajunkoi.com/landings/stu...
I always wondered why I couldn't stay motivated over long periods. Even if I start off the school year studying 10+ hours day, I always ended up burning out. But after learning more about psychology, I discovered self-determination theory, a framework by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan that can explain why we can never stay motivated. And after reflecting on it and implementing it into my life, I unlocked limitless motivation.
🙏 Thanks for watching!

summing up: less of fear and stress more of intrinsic motivation and love for the thing u do " i have to do this" nah " i choose to do this" "i get to do this" break your big goals into smaller ones, get feedback look for improvement self reflection is important

I literally felt liberated when you said how we should choose to act rather forcefully go for it. This is amazing
One method is changing your thinking from " I have to do this" to "I get to do this!". Another would be falling in love with the process of learning something by introducing variety into it, and also understanding and wondering why and how you could apply the information to the real world. Be curious! As they taught us as children, ask why and how and when!

That's one part of the equation, the other is doing and learning things that you're genuinely interested in. You'll have a hard time manufacturing curiosity towards things you don't give a crap about.
I remember when i first heard of intrinsic motivation as a sad and depressed 12th grader, i'm in the second year of my college and though it was a very slow process this mindset has really impacted my mental health and work positively ! So do not be scared to get on this journey and believe in yourself , you can do it and you will
Cheers to the producers and editors for the smooth transitions, audio and visual quality, and script

ya man the quality of this video is really good
These seem to always come at the right time at the right moment. I was literally feeling like this a day ago and partially still am. Everything they say like hits the spot EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.! Thanks Mike and Matty.
This is like a Godsend. i've realized the need to become more intrinsic and this video helpd provided more insight on the steps to doing so
Thanks Matty, you're a genius, or much more like a life-savior for me! THANKS SO MUCHH!!
I went into this video thinking to myself he's probably not gonna say anything original or helpful while still hoping you would and it turns out this is some of the most valuable information I have gotten in a while and provides excellent insight. Some of what you mentioned I haven't been aware of for quite some time. Excellent video 🙏
This is actually fresh good tips that i haven't seen from other youtubers, thank tou
intrinsic motivation 1. having autonomy. setting your own goals, taking ownership. “i (not have) choose to do ___” 2. competency. getting feedback about what you are doing, feeling like you are improving, doing practice tests etc 3. relatedness. support network of like minded people
Awesome presentation!!!!! I really understood the salient concepts via your informative graphics. I especially like I CHOOSE TO DO THIS. THIS TAKES THE TENSION OFF IMMENSELY. KUDOS TO YOU AND YOUR OTHER PRESENTATION MIND MAPS!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the helpful videos man. I think I found your music on Spotify. Been bumping Nostalgia. Love the soothing beats and album art!
Yes, I used to be motivated by extrinsic motivation, but then after reading up on stoicism I lost the fear, so I had to discover more intrinsic motivation.
Don't rely on motivation. Focus on systems!
Thanks! I really need this video
hey bro thanks for ur vids, i actually need it

I really like the editing skills 😌
I actually read this book called way of the superior man by David Deida and its about finding purpose in life, I think I water fasted and meditated for 2 days before finding it and whenever I think about it I find motivation coming easy and erupting and flowing like great rivers. Another thing that many might want to consider is if it lines up with said purpose, and if it does it really feels amazing.

Great advice
How can I go from "feeling" that I "have" to study to I "choose" to study? I had (unknowingly) developed intrinsic motivation 3 years back, and suddenly lost it a year ago. My main problem (now) is that I don't enjoy studying a lot and feel like I "have" to study, which wasn't the case back then. I loved to study and know more than what's is the syllabus, and I totally relate with you when you say that intrinsic motivation arises from the love you have for the activity. I tried to say to myself that I "choose" to study but internally I always feel that I "have" to study and ultimately this technique of building intrinsic motivation doesn't work. I am and have always been a good student (one of the topmost of my batch) (so no problem with competency), have many like-minded friends (no problem with relatedness), and as such nobody forces me to study and I do it on my own (so no problem with autonomy as far as I can see, yet I feel like I am forced to study).

How do you do this? I’ve been overwhelmed and tired and you covered all these points. It’s almost like you’re watching me 😳
Amazing video
1. I choose to eat. 2. I choose to take care of my family. 3 I choose to be compassionate towards other people. 4. I choose to be healthy. I don't have to do all of these. I choose to.
Y’all I brought a thick leather wrist strap yesterday like Mike and Matty have and my mum was sooo confused at why I was buying it so I tried to explain the whole Cajun Koi Academy thing to her as she was just absently nodding but I FEEL SO HAPPY JUST WEARING IT AAAAHHHH :D

My parents reminding me to do something (e.g. homework, going to bed) just makes me less want to do it!
I'm all alone right now .. I lack that motivation to study .. I do study by watching study with me videos but I don't find them that effective unless there is someone physically present with me . Now I took like a week break ..i haven't opened my book and my syllabus is falling behind reducing my chances to go into med school..what else should I do??

Write down your entire schedule for 2 days in advance. Even write down break time and exactly what activities you'll be doing during that. Don't give yourself any time to feel sad and empty. You should either be Studying,Having fun or sleeping.
For my bros that study hard and don’t get the grades they want/feel they deserve , hang in there. It hurts, I know. Believe me. But in the end, the life lessons about trying and putting your hard work into something is more valuable than not studying and getting As. The struggle is real now, but in the future you will be more self-determined than those around you because of that tough training you had for it in school. You will be able to have more discipline, understand certain things about yourself and the world (like you can’t always wait until tomorrow to do things,) and in the end just have this confident air about you. Grades is only a VERY small portion of the work you put into a class. The things you learn from the class are in the end, much more valuable than the letter grade. Of course, grades DO have an impact on your future but what I’m saying is that YOUR OWN being, your own person, will stay with you for the rest of your life and in 65 years you won’t remember what grade you got in what specific class, but hopefully what you learned from it and how it changed your perspective of the world. If you love getting enamored by your schoolwork you are in a good position in school.

Also, try to only compare your progress with YOURSELF. One day someone might get the lesson and you won’t, don’t get mad. Another you might completely understand something and they will feel lost, don’t throw a party. Everyone is different. Just stay on your own course and avoid glancing away from the road or you might crash :( And staying on your own track will help as you will not crash into any other people if you switch tracks or worry about where your friend’s track is going more than your own. Long-winded analogy BAHAHAH

I am doomed.I am a introvert and dont have any good friends or someone else to socialize with
Actually the world we are living in is based on comparison, we are hired just if we are BETTER than other participating candidates. So, "don't compare yourself" tip actually is not meaningful, if you are worse than most of your friends and you are in an average university and studying engineering(gave this example because this is what I do right now), you possibly gonna be homeless in the future or underpaid at the best. So, not comparing ourselves to other people is meaningless I think. About first tip, the mindset tip, If you "need" motivation to start doing something it is not something you "choose" to do but you "have to" do, have you ever needed motivation to play video games, watch tv or eat junk food? Possibly no. Because, that are the things you wanted to do, you "chose" to do so the first tip is just kidding with yourself I think.
