As’salamualaikum
I just read an interesting paper on psychological topic about human intrinsic motivation.
BTW you need the authorization to access the full-read paper from Psychological Science Journal with the title:
Motivating Goal-Directed Behavior Through Introspective Self-Talk
The Role of the Interrogative Form of Simple Future Tense by Ibrahim Senay et.al. (2010)
There are two types of self-talk; declarative self-talk and interrogate self-talk. The interrogate self-talk, i.e. Will I, will intrinsically trigger our behavior towards being more goal-directed person compared to declarative type person i.e. I will do this because……
So let’s start to interrogate ourselves-talk, i.e. Will I complete my Ph.D. study in 3 years time? Will I deliver my points during viva-voce? Can I complete the course?……as the list goes on.
As you interrogating and answering, Yes, I will or Yes, I can, any positive answers that you can come up with, it helps to escalate your motivation to complete the goal…..Cube le try.
Wallahualam wa Wasalam
