behavioral theory suggest that rewards act as strong motivators. Rewards work because positive consequence reinforce behavior. Positive feelings are associated with behavior even more why rewards work. Rewarding yourself after you do something makes you feel accomplished. For example finish all your homework, eat ice cream all day cause you finished your homework. Positive for positive.

Social theory

Attention, Retention, Reproduction, Motivation.

Attention is us noticing us and our behavior.

Retention is how we remember and lock in our behavior by encoding.

Reproduction is the ability recreate the behavior we see.

Motivation is to achieve that behavior.

Being you and observing you is what social theory is about.

Cognitive theory

Thought, feelings, behaviors, outcome.

cognitive theory is based on the idea that a persons interpretation of events cause their reaction to events. think good thoughts, feel good thought, behave off good thoughts ,the outcome will be good. how you think and feel will determine your outcome. if we learn to think differently and put our mind in a positive state we can change our schemas.

Humanistic theory

The perspective that looks at the whole person and the uniqueness of everyone. people have free will and are motivated to achieve their potential. Check out Manslow's hierarchy of needs which includes self actualization ,esteem ,love and belonging, safety, and physiological. Just being yourself is what the humanistic theory is about. To increase motivation your basic needs need to be met first before completing more complex tasks.

Humanistic theory is the most helpful in maintaining my motivation because I like to be myself. I have to break down tasks, set challenges and realistic goals. I have to make sure i go thru Maslow's hierarchy of needs before working on things. Being a artist you have to be unique, so being humanistic is great for fans to see me and who I am as an artist; me being me.

Motivation techniques

I find that breaking down task is easiest to do like this project. when you take time and set mini goals you can make task easier. Take the difficult task and break them into a smaller list and work on one part at a time.
