Body Confidence Motivation: Carrot or Stick?
What motivates you to action?
A reward, the carrot, or the threat of punishment, the stick?
Reward theory involves the promise of something pleasant when you reach your goal. Experts tell us the reward must be as soon as or shortly after the goal is reached to be effective. That works for some of us in some situations, but not all situations.
Or it doesn’t work at all.
- Diets
- Exercise programs
- On the daily work experience
- Social engagements
- Sleep habits
For some of us, it’s the fear generated by the threat of punishment for failure to achieve the goal that motivates us to action.
