Many people will have heard of motivation and what being motivated can do for you, and how motivation can help you to achieve things or secure accomplishments. However, how many of you will know exactly what the psychosocial theory of motivation is ? I think it would be a safe bet, to say not many. Further down in this article I will have a paragraph or two just on psychosocial theory of motivation and what it is. However first up I will go into the definition of motivation for you. The Definition of Motivation: The state of motivation is in fact a time of being motivated. The definition of this simply means having an incentive to do something, maybe to go somewhere, maybe even to improve ourselves as a person. Incentives create motivation. There are a number of ways you can describe the definition of motivation. For example, motivation is something that encourages. Therefore the definition of motivation can include things such as encouragement, stimulation and inspiration. These things are all definitions of motivation. Another known definition of motivation is: something that creates a given response. Or a further definition of motivation is a basis used for an action or decision to be made. The things I have mentioned above are the basic definitions of encouragement. Now that you know what motivation is due to reading the definition of motivation above, I will below go into brief detail about the psychosocial theory of motivation for your reference. Psychosocial Theory of Motivation: Psychosocial theory of motivation is a study made by Psychologists on what motivation is and how it works and benefits people. One psychologist who researched psychosocial theory thinks that the actualization of a humans potential is what drives a personality for each individual. Psychosocial theories have been said to prove that motivation for higher accomplishments can only be obtained once the motivation for lesser accomplishments has been sorted and achieved. This includes things such as security and safety and surroundings. Another psychosocial theory on motivation is one that relates to human behavior. Every individual person will react differently to a situation than another will. If the way an individual reacts to a situation is not appropriate then this person may be told of this and therefore lose some motivational abilities. A third example of psychosocial theory relates to inner knowledge and self awareness of ourselves. It is believed that if a person has self like and feels comfortable with themselves and how they participate in things, their motivation levels may in fact be higher than a person who is not quite so sure of themselves, or has not yet fully come to understand what makes them them and what their capabilities are and can be. Research into psychosocial theories have been around for many years, and will also be around. There will always be another psychosocial theory for one to read and understand. Although there are a number of psychosocial theories out amongst us, there is no right theory, as there is no wrong theory. All of the psychosocial theories have relevance to the human mind and how an individual choose to act and behave. This most certainly influences and is relevant to motivation skills we all acquire. As I said above, this article was going to go into brief detail about the definition of motivation and what a psychosocial theory is and where they come from. You may have learned more than you knew already and you may be able to recommend this reading for another person. If you are very interested in this topic, then I suggest you do a search on the internet for 'psychosocial theories'. Psychology certainly is a very broad and interesting topic and profession. You may learn more than you ever thought you could. http://www.selfimprovementguide.net/articles/definitionofmotivation- psychosocialtheoryofmotivation.html Relaxation Exercise Techniques This article is about imagery and relaxation and the exercise techniques you can learn to alleviate stress from your life. We could all probably benefit from learning relaxation exercise techniques, as we all suffer from some level of stress at certain times of our lives. Imagery and relaxation exercise techniques will teach you how to breathe properly and deeply, relieving the tension from throughout your entire body. Imagery and relaxation exercises are all about calming down and relaxing, another words, resting the body. Imagery and relaxation does not only apply to adults. Children too can benefit from learning imagery and relaxation techniques. Maybe learning the relaxation techniques could become something you and your children could do and work on together. Imagery and relaxation exercise techniques will also teach you and others to 'free' your mind and loosen up. The relaxation exercise techniques will also help you to learn about your inner you. A very simple relaxation exercise technique is laughter. Yes - simply laugh. Laughter is apparently good for the soul and is now believed to be good for the body also. And you couldn't ask for an easier relaxation exercise technique, and better still, we can all laugh. So there really is no excuse for any one of us to say that we cannot possibly learn any imagery and relaxation exercise techniques. As I touched on briefly above, the relaxation exercise involving breathing is very important for all of us to be able to learn. Slow, deep meaningful breaths will relax us, both physically and emotionally. This is another imagery and relaxation exercise technique you can teach your children yourself. You will be surprised at the change in your childrens behavior once you have them practicing this imagery and relaxation technique when they feel frustrated or irritated, even upset. For this relaxation exercise technique, it is suggested that you slowly and deeply breath in through your nasal passage and then hold this breath for a count to 2 and then slowly breathe out through your mouth. (this is also a good relaxation exercise technique to use when you are in pain) Imagery is more about visualizing. You will learn how to associate a simple breath with calming colors, or serene settings, peaceful things. This form of imagery combined with the relaxation exercise techniques will supply you with a recipe to distress yourself with. Music can be associated with imagery. Listening to music is another form of relaxation exercise technique. While using this relaxation exercise technique, close your eyes and create an image, (visualize) somewhere pleasant, or calming. This is once again combining the use of imagery and relaxation exercise techniques together for a more influenced outcome. Yoga is another relaxation exercise technique. While you are practicing yoga, try implementing imagery into your relaxation exercise technique routine. Place in your mind a setting or scenery of peacefulness. Imagery is all about visualizing yourself in a place of peace, or simply visualizing a calming color in your mind. Both relaxation exercise techniques and imagery are things we can all do, and things we should learn more about to be able to help ourselves without the need for medical intervention. If we take the time to learn and read up on how to self help ourselves as often as we can, the better off we will be, both emotionally and physically. Perhaps you know of a person who suffers from stress and has not managed to find a solution to alleviate it. If so, then you too can now give them some sound advice, and suggest relaxation exercise techniques or imagery to them. http://www.selfimprovementguide.net/articles/imageryandrelaxation- relaxationexercisetechniques.html . growth.
