In recent years many published reports have stated that on average, [1]75% of all individuals will at some point face brief, or long periods of de-motivation. As it will be demonstrated later, brief states of de-motivation can be natural, even “[2]positive adversity” in action, but prolonged or permanent states are demoralizing and destructive. It goes without saying that left unattended, de-motivation can and often is a precursor to depressive illness, work absenteeism, and in a minority of cases, suicide. Though the use of the suicide word was not inserted to scare you, it is an unfortunate fact of today's modern world. However, please know that once conscious of depressive de-motivation, it can be turned around as effortlessly as it was created, and states like lethargy, laziness, depressiveness and suicidal tendencies can all be genuinely transformed.
When we look around at today’s societies, it’s easy to see present day man connects so deeply with the material world. Work, goals, pressure, mundane tasks, dislikable colleagues, and harsh environments are accepted in pursuit of material success. Yet at the subtle levels of life; essential needs are pined for.
Irrespective of life’s levels, i.e. from cleaner to captain, builder to banker, all individuals have needs, specific desires, and personal preferences. If these are not identified, nourished, and brought into everyday life. Then at some point, de-motivation creeps in.
FACTOID
It may or may not surprise you to know that the average individual thinks approximately 50,000 thoughts per day, with only 15% contributing towards their daily work. The remaining 85% are being used up on personal issues.
Though, think of it another way. Imagine you visit an Internet café, there are 100 computers, with 85 already in use. You take a seat and begin to surf from one of the un-occupied desktops and downloading is slow to almost unimaginable. As the band-with has a maximum transfer rate, when 85 from 100 computers are pulling from the same source, then the remaining 15% have limited capacity.
As we all more or less have the same mind/brain processing power, the above example could easily bear relation to the human brain. Albeit we are not aware, in any given day we experience around 50,000 thoughts (per day) and that’s normal. However, if you were able to monitor and calculate each and every thought, then one might be surprised to discover that around 85% of daily thoughts are related to personal issues of worries, fears, what if’s, what might be, and so on.
Taking it a step further. You are most likely aware that the average individual consumes around 2500 calories per day, and that the human body relies heavily on the quality of these calories. For example; you already know that consuming 2500 unhealthy calories will not produce the same physical appearance as feeding the body with healthier options. Now for a moment, and just for some fun, turn your attention to your own mind and monitor the quality of your thoughts. In general, would you consider your mind to be thinking good, or unhealthy, positive or negative, optimistic or pessimistic, motivating or de-motivating calorie thoughts?
Now extend this exercise by thinking of someone outside yourself. It could be a boss, an employee, a lover, a partner, a friend, etc. Though for a moment, try to imagine the quality and the percentage of their quality thought’s.
While we could assume something and draw upon a judgment, to gauge with accuracy would be impossible right? Well, please allow us to assist a little and furnish you with some relatively new, but also some fairly common information. An averagely motivated individual will use around 15% of their daily thoughts related to work and career issues, with the remaining 85% going on personal stuff such as home, family, friends, worries, fears, dreams, desires, and anything else that passes through the mind.
Now here’s the not so good news...
The above was an average, not a de-motivated, but an average person. Highly demotivated individuals are likely to be internalizing, dwelling, and obsessing even further, with as little as 5% thought attention contributing to their working day.
As thoughts pass through the mind at the rate of around 1 per second, and thoughts are only ever one of two polarities, i.e. positive or negative, motivating or de-motivating, love or fear, the quality of our thoughts are paramount.
It doesn’t take much working out to conclude that 1 negative thought leads to another, and left unattended, the gravitational pull will be towards experiencing a mind consumed with de-motivation.
Now, with these statistics in mind, we can begin to see how individuals, staff, departments, and whole businesses can struggle or fail and not really know why.
However, there is also some good news. As the same apparatus that calculates negative thoughts, also calculates positive thoughts, so the good news is, “ there’s a fix”. This fix is not rocket science and you don’t require any brain apparatus to apply. It’s quite simple and it enables an individual to increase their overall contribution, productivity, and output.
While it may come across as far fetched, the dynamics suggested within this module have been designed to automatically invoke this positive fix. They do this without brain apparatus because during the past 10 years, all the “positive fix” denominators have been put into words for a speedily read and easy digestion.
OK, let’s move forward...
It may also come as a surprise to know that de-motivation is still the energy of motivation; the only difference being is that motivation is being used in the opposite form. However, rest assured as this can be reversed and flipped into the positive.
Though when we come across or hear the word “de-motivation”, in a general sense it’s assumed to be all negative, however the good news is (and as we will show later) that de-motivation also possesses equal amounts of the good stuff, i.e. natural, genuine, positive, and healthy self-motivation.
For a moment, think of de-motivation as a tree. The tree has a root, a trunk and many branches. Though you already know it is the leaves on the branches that carry nourishment to the root, and de-motivation can be thought of in a similar way. That is, de-motivation like the tree has a root, and if we are to stand any chance of influencing and changing de-motivation, then we must be prepared to head for it’s root.
While heading towards the root for the first time things can get a little unsettling, rest assured that once you discover the knack, not only will you find it truly beneficial, it’s an aspect of personal development that becomes fun.
Let us now take a brief look at an example in action;
Take an overweight person whom wants to lose weight, yet they feel de-motivated in doing so. Not fear, just de-motivation. Let’s assume they consciously do not fear obesity, and do not feel that being overweight would be the result of a core fear. In fact, the very idea might genuinely put them off - this is a natural dynamic of defense. Nonetheless, as in the case of the overweight person, their root is most likely to be as far back in their past, perhaps not even recallable.
However, speeding things up a little. When worked back from the leaf to the branch, then the branch to the trunk, so to speak. The overweight individual may be surprised to find that their de-motivation was not what they originally thought, but de-motivation was being powered by an additional set of dynamics that was overlaying and masking out their motivation. When they became aware of these dynamics and the rules that govern them, they were able to change them, which then went onto positively impact their weight-loss program.
However, you may now be thinking this module is leading you down a path of self administering psychology, or mentoring you through a program of self-development, (which to a small degree is true), but there is an addition.
The addition is a method called “Dynamic Conscious Transformation”, or DCT for short.
The method, system and techniques being spoke of hear are the understandings of how human behavior, and our actions and reactions are common across collective scales and how we can consciously change the way we interact within our own world. In other words, as a human we are all subject to same specific dynamics, i.e. defense, resistance, motivation, stress, etc. etc. and while we might all act and react with individual indifferences, scratch the surface and often we all operate much the same way.
Dynamic Conscious Transformation is highly exciting and at this time and moment in human evolution, using dynamic techniques of conscious transformation are one on mans best development tools.
Though, now you have made the decision to transform de-motivation, a supportive tool, is developing attentiveness to understanding your own tree. Spend a little time and attempt to reach into and identify your root, i.e. core.
Though, for now, please do not overly concern or try too hard with yourself on this, as when we begin to work through this module, the root will naturally expose itself. This process is perfectly normal, and a reassurance is given here that like the root of a tree, once the root of de-motivation rises, identifying and dissolving it is as effortless and as natural as reading these words.
For example, have you ever noticed that when the roots of a tree are exposed to sunlight, survival diminishes?
Well, more, or less, it could be said that the same applies to de-motivation. As once the core is exposed, then without any effort on your part, the “[3]conscious self”, automatically kills the root.
Now what follows is a small section where we are going to expand and briefly explain some deeper aspects of life. While it could have easily been left out, we felt that the long-term benefit to you was greater than the short amount of taxing it puts up the eyes to read and the brain to digest.
So here goes - Though not yet fully understood, science is now suggesting that, “[4]consciousness” may indeed be humans' form of light. This means that when something is raised from the [5]sub-unconscious, (the unaware part) to the conscious mind, it invokes a process of [6]electromagnetic change. Once this process is underway, the knock on effect is a change in a person’s physical biology. It is becoming widely understood that the mind induces these biological processes through electrical impulses known as hertz. We will omit deep science, only to outline that the human brain houses approximately 80-100 billion neurons, which are also electromagnetically pulsating. It has also been recently discovered that one’s entire physical existence emits an overall and collective electromagnetic, electrical pulse, called hertz.
Albeit the above is a little taxing for everyday digestion, nevertheless, as we work through this module, the value of this information will become immeasurable.
Nevertheless, we will not attempt to foolishly, or blindly convince you of any unquantifiable material. As by the time you have completed this module, the proof will rest with the transformation of yourself, and if you feel that transformation has not been satisfactory, then we really would like to know about it.
Now, let's get back to the dynamics of de-motivation.
As you will already know, de-motivation like self-motivation could be related to not as a word, but as a “feeling”. The feeling word is used because as we will show later, both states of motivation, i.e. de-motivation or self-motivation generates a feeling. It is this feeling that we are interested in because it is the feeling that influences. Though it could be said de-motivation is bad, and self-motivation is good. The reality is that they are neither positive, nor negative. They just happen to be at the opposite ends of each other. For the technically minded that is, polar opposites, though for layman’s, we just use the word “opposite”. Nevertheless, and in a sense of motivation, both forms are using the same energy of “motivation”.
Confused? Please do not be, as all will become clear as we move through. Though lets just briefly clear it up in saying that motivation is the human dynamic, and that motivation can be used positively or negatively. In other words, the human energy of motivation fuels de-motivation as much as it fuels self-motivation. So whether you come across someone who is depressed with de-motivation, or ecstatic with self-motivation - the human dynamic being used is motivation.
Let us now look at the energy of de-motivation.
What is it made up of, and how do we deal with it?
Is the energy of de-motivation a physical thing?
Well, there may be a sad looking, or lethargic individual. Yet, to understand motivation we must first let go of our everyday normal thinking and switch to a thought process of “motivation is energy”. It doesn’t matter if you do or don’t understand human energy, as long as you catch the phrase “motivation is human energy”.
You already know that motivation cannot be perceived with the five senses. That is motivation cannot be seen, it cannot be heard, it cannot be tasted, touched, or smelt, but you know it exists and it is real.
Though, if it cannot be seen, heard, tasted, touched, or smelt, where is it and how do we know it really exists?
Because, as you already know, we “feel” motivation and if we don’t feel it, then we don’t perceive it.
So, here lies a simple secret. However, before it can be addressed anywhere, we first need to grasp its origins.
