The world is divided into people who can light up, enjoy the process of going to the target and reach it, on those who can only live one of the points of the tasks and those who get to their plans, overcoming the many stresses and ruthlessly spending health.
Is it possible to learn the first, without losing half the life in the study of important techniques? Yes. If you figure out the essence of such a phenomenon as a shift of motive to the target.
What is it in psychology?
This is the ability of the individual to self-organization due to motivational value aspects.
In other words, it happens substitution of the primary goalFor the sake of which certain actions were carried out, on activities that previously had motivational characteristics and served only as an auxiliary tool for achieving the existing task.
The nature of this substitution is sensual and semantic in nature and reflects the essential needs of man.
Roughly speaking, moving the motive to the goal location allows you to keep your nose in the wind all the time to achieve an important result, protects you from unnecessary stress and allows you to adjust the algorithm to achieve your goals in a timely manner.
Who is author?
The considered ability of the human psyche studied in detail Alexey Nikolaevich Leonytev - Soviet psychologist, student and follower of Lev Vygotsky, another well-known scientist who devoted the life of psychology.
Leontyev understood the term “motive” as an objective something that gathered in itself both the current human need and the one that contributes to its emergence. At the same time, the scientist saw the meaning and significance of the same phenomenon. different for separately studied subjects.
After all, for example, the historical date of the military event is seen as a student and participant in the battle in question from different angles.
Therefore, tracing the cycle of turning a motive into a goal, it is necessary take into account personal meaninginvested by an individual in the final task.
The activities and motives have an expanding effect on the department of the psyche responsible for the ability to be aware.
Without this feature, a person would not be able to perform actions for the sake of purpose and begin to treat motives differently, by changing their status from the driving forces to the desired and goal-setting.
Understanding the nature of the rebirth of motives in the goal simplifies the perception of the essence of the mechanism of the emergence of new needs.
Shear mechanism
In his works concerning motivation, Leontiev set off conscious motives from productive, that is, really acting.
Since the modification of one into another occurs only if in the process of real action, the result obtained brings greater moral satisfaction or benefit than the purpose for which, in fact, the process occurred.
How are motives formed and modified?
The goal of a motivating factor turns into a motive for the accumulation of emotions in the process of the activity.
To the tasks aspired through operations performed subconsciously, and actions taken due to mindfulness.
But at the same time, in the process of working to achieve the chosen plank, actions can become operations if the implementation of the former can already be carried out at the reflex level.
A good example of the work of this mechanism are sports training. The more responsible the approach to the procedure, the faster a series of actions can be carried out without even thinking about the execution algorithm.
What should distinguish operations:
- Performed automatically or almost like that.
- Carried out on the beaten track, by repeated repetitions or not yet having a clear mechanism of action, because they are born due to copying something of behavior or the need to fit into existing circumstances.
Any actions consist of elements of both types and are necessary for the emergence of skills, which are an algorithm of sequence of operations and actions fixed in memory and consciousness.
Under favorable circumstances, the events become the key to the expansion of human activity, the development of new areas. But, unfortunately, the motive shift mechanism on the target formed in the human psyche is not always good and can cause personal degradation.
Examples
The first
Pupil dreams less often to pore over textbooks, and spend more time with friends.
But ahead of the exam in literature and the need to prepare.
In the process of preparing data for answers, the student comes across the material on the path of becoming one of the writers. And in something the child saw the connection between himself and the biography of a famous person.
Starting more deeply interested in the writer's writings, the student began to perceive literature no longer from the point of view of the person who was forced to study tons of “boring” information, but turned into a researcher who has gained access to a wealth of interesting data.
So the desire to pass the exam well opened the way to a new hobby, and the study of literature turned from a boring duty into an attractive lesson.
Second
Completed young man with overweight decided resort to sport to change shape and become more attractive to girls.
Careful observance of the recommendations of the trainer in the fitness club, systematic persistent training led to a brilliant result - the man’s appearance has undergone dramatic changes.
But over time, the young man began to train not so much to support an attractive appearance as because of the pleasant sensations, arising from the understanding that now control your body, forcing him to perform laborious work is much nicer and easier.
Third
For subsistence and the ability to pay for shelter, yesterday’s clerk, fired due to staff reductions, clutches at the first turned up vacancy and gets a car service worker on the pickup.
Thanks to the experience of youth and the parent with the "golden hands", having experience in the repair of glands and intuition, allow a person to break into a master in a good way.
At the same time, the habit of being interested in the novelties of progress in the area where you have to earn a living has been preserved.
As a result, the man understands that the skills and knowledge are sufficient to start your own business.
After some thought, he quits and starts his own business, which, as it turns out, became not only a source of money, but it also brings much more satisfaction than the work that was left far in the past.
Negative Shift Cases
To blame for the disease, crying disorders of the psyche and nervous system:
- Example 1 In the past, a person was fond of music and had every chance to make a brilliant career in this direction. But because of the problems on the background of epilepsy, dreams did not receive support and today the man makes a living by interweaving books. The process is very exciting master. He works very slowly, but qualitatively, getting pleasure from each action on the next order.
At the same time, the content of the books that the master updates does not interest the latter at all.
- Example 2 Struggling for the cleanliness of the room in which he lives, the patient can look out for different hours of different debris around him and carefully collect what he saw. However, the selected person lays out on his bed, ensuring that the assembled elements are arranged on the surface in even and neat rows.
How to use for your own benefit?
How to learn to get more pleasure from life thanks to the shift of motive to the goal:
- One of the main tenets of success, the ability to enjoy the process of moving along the intended path. Yes, the main goal is there, it “beckons and warms”, but all the time it is rather difficult to effectively feed off the energy of this beautiful.
Therefore, if there is a desire to achieve an outcome that does not come very soon, start receiving nice dividends from the process now. Feel omnipotent even if you already find the strength to continue the difficult path further. And live the following days in the same way, finding something to be proud of. - Recall that life is the ultimate phenomenon. Therefore, every moment of it is too expensive for you to waste on things that are not enjoyable. And do not try to fend off in response, that only very rich people can afford to do what they want. Rave. Freedom of choice in free spirits. Therefore, stop torturing yourself with unpleasant things or change your attitude towards them. Then return to mastering the essence set forth in paragraph one.
- Do not forget about the need to restif you want to achieve your goals and plan to live a long and eventful life.
Do not donate minutes and hours of rest for the sake of projects. Otherwise, not only the latter will cease to seem important, but everything that happens in your life.
The loss of the taste for life is a terrible lot for those who are fed up and turn away from their bodies, which require resources to carry out some small whims, like delicious coffee by the window with wonderful views of the peaceful landscape.
- Be sure to divide large projects into small stages. It is much easier to master the art of small steps than to try to take high barriers from overclocking and without preparation.
And having overcome another small section of a long journey, you will receive in advance a visible and tangible confirmation of your future power. Rather, you will already be powerful, because you have found the opportunity to make a step and complete the passage of the next segment of the path.
