Motivation in the study : to Me the self-discipline is simply a lack of

woman Reysen-Kostudis, you help students self-motivation. Why not study motivated the human being to something he has chosen – namely, to?

The decision to study at University was often not necessarily in the hands of the students. Sometimes the Abischnitt not enough simply for the desire to trade. Other students have made wrong notions from the study and are disappointed. Others were to leave in the beginning full of enthusiasm for your subject, but this feeling often – that's how in a relationship, when after the first infatuation of the everyday. The inescapable Routine, and some adjustments in the management of difficulties of disappointments, can dampen the euphoria of the start.
And then?

Only if it succeeds to overcome these challenges in the positive sense, and to learn thereby, a gain in quality of life, the Motivation. Emerging problems are normal, should not be the same as the reason, for example, a whole course of study. Instead, you should worked, asking constantly: "What? What is good?“ – but also "What did not work well?" and then correct any errors.

lack of Motivation with convenience, or even laziness related?

no. There are people who confess to their laziness, even a desire to gain in your doing nothing, to deliberately against external claims delimit. The students that come to me often say: "I lack self-discipline." Shame on you then their supposed laziness, despair. This is not a pleasure, but an inner reduction of the own Person. The solution for such a problem may be an analysis of the mechanisms that have led to the loss of the drive.

In the Winter it is dark and cold when the alarm rings. How do you motivate yourself to leave the bed anyway?

I have found a good morning routine for me. When the alarm rings, I get up, make myself a Cup of coffee with Milk and turn on the heater in the bathroom. Then I sit down again ten minutes in bed, drinking coffee and looking through my notes for the day. Each and every one should try many ways to find the right Routine for yourself.

you even speak of the "art of self motivation". So it is not a trivial thing?

]I speak of "art", because I mean the creative aspects. I can do something and construct my life. It's not only important to create a Plan and stick to it. However, will quickly develop resistance. Rather, it is also our pleasure center must be addressed. I must remember that I live better when I keep to my Plan and that I get to my goal closer. Often, I ask students to imagine where you will be in ten years. Since images have an enormous power come from then: The students, to have a family or a Job to go to, you will really like. The emotions are important to achieve the goal.

An examination or an in-house work can be like a mountain in front of a heap. The tendency is, other seemingly important activities, such as vacuuming is preferable. How to avoid this?

Who analysed his priorities, one comes quickly to know oneself: To use the dust, eyes only, not to learn. Then it helps to put the vacuum day-to-day plan in the afternoon, when the concentration wears off anyway. Some people also say that they clean the apartment, because they have experience more success in Learning. Then it would be important to design the Learning so that the evening a success: for example, by checking box and the Chapter you read or repeated.

Bad grades or failed exams can lead to students not able to motivate yourself now – with the consequence of further poor grades. How can the vicious circle?

Bad grades demotivate the first time. But if you can understand what is wrong, you can learn from it and cope with it. But if you have a long-term failure, you should ask yourself, whether you are studying the Right thing.

Some people say that you create under time and exam pressure, the most. Others can't concentrate under the pressure of fear. There is, therefore, depending on the nature, different strategies of Self-motivation?

it is Important to find the right level when Planning. Some come to me and say, you can start with the bachelor thesis, when you are logged in. But it would be too late. So you should clarify before you sign in, your question and Material to collect, even if you start with the Letter only after the registration.

self-motivated, is one thing. But what can help the teachers at the University so that the students are not unmotivated so?

Just in the first few semesters, the professors and lecturers should explain clearly what you expect and a lot of Feedback to give. Especially in the case of units that happens to be little. Here, units are not important, because one has only to present his Knowledge, but also themselves. The will live in the future professional is always required. Often, however, will not be discussed at the University, what was the unit well and what could be improved. It is a culture of learning is missing. It would be good if the seminars rather than teaching would have more of a workshop culture.

Is self-motivation in the course of life so practice, that you need at some point is hardly an effort?
