Personal Statement: Implementation Intention, Extrinsic Motivation

551 Words3 Pages

I goal that I have been trying to achieve for a while now is staying consistent with living a healthy lifestyle. I have tried countless times to eating healthy and exercising, but soon lose a sense of motivation. I’m deciding to utilize the techniques we learned in the class and put them into action to achieve my goal. I’ll be using Implementation Intention, Extrinsic Motivation, and Self-Efficacy to try new ways of attaining the results I want. Extrinsic Motivation is motivation to perform an activity because of the external goals toward which activity is directed. In regarding to creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a extrinsic motivation would be me setting a goal weight. Having this goal will not only motivate me to continue working towards it, but it will give a way to measure my performance. I could set small weight goals so when I achieved them I could gain a sense of reward and encouragement to continue until I achieve the final goal. I think this could be a great start to my overall goal of having a healthy lifestyle. …show more content…

A problem I have had in the past in staying consistent with exercising. I have found exercising in the morning for me is more beneficial, however staying up late due schoolwork can sometimes alter my motivation to get up earlier. If I manage my time better through the day and stay on task, then I will be able to go to bed at a decent time and wake up earlier to exercise. Another issue I have is eating out and consuming less than healthy options. I’m not discipline enough to limit unhealthy food for a long period of time. If I carefully plan out meals for each day and slowly limit unhealthy options such as sweets and junk food, then I won’t have an excuse to eat out and make unhealthy

Sometimes at the end of the day I am so tired or behind that I am not motivated to do physical exercise. However, I am also bad at planning my day, which means that I could get more out of my day if I devoted a few minutes at the beginning of the week to making a schedule. I applied the time management technique by making a weekly schedule and devoting specific

Based on the five theories of behavioural change that we covered in class, social cognitive theory, self determination theory, theory of planned behaviour, health action process approach and trans-theoretical model, I think the theory that applies best to myself is the self determination theory. This theory is characterized as having a relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and the basic human need for autonomy. This determines how self-motivated and self-determined the client is, as well as where their motivation comes from; whether this be extrinsically or intrinsically. Typically, people who associate themselves with self determination theory (SDT) are those who thrive on intrinsic rewards and whom enjoy the exercise they are doing. For example, I think I fit best with SDT because I love the exercise I do.

My goal for the Behavior Change Project was to work out, starting with 3 times a week and eventually building up to 5 times a week. I didn’t want to gain the stereotypical “Freshman Fifteen”, so this was the perfect goal for me to have. Coming into my first semester of college, I knew that I would struggle maintaining a healthy diet and daily exercise, so I thought this would be the perfect time to push myself and make myself better physically and mentally. My goal affects the physical aspect of the dimensions of health. Working out has many benefits.

My first goal is to get a high quality mentor and have monthly meetings which we will discuss goals, upcoming decisions/events concerning the program.

Through doing this, I want to sleep better, increase my mood, increase my energy, feel more physically fit and improve my memory.
