Why and what I have driven me to do it?
Some vividly describe the experience of getting out of bed in the morning in a frigid room: "Probably most persons have lain on certain mornings for an hour at a time unable to brace themselves to the resolve. We think how late we shall be, how the duties of the day will suffer: we say, 'I must get up, this is ignominious,' etc.; but still the warm couch feels too delicious...'"
"Now how do we ever get up under such circumstances? If I may generalize from my own experience, we often more than not get up without any struggle or decision at all. We suddenly find that we have got up."
Rather than repressed dreams, the adaptive unconscious is the largely hidden machinery that makes our minds work. Principles of Behavior created the first formula for the "mechanistic" theory of motivation.
E is an excitatory tendency will be D the drive combined with the habit. The habit, in contrast, depends on the stimulus s and response r.
The reward might a good way as a hook for luring us to stay the motivation. And the internal stimulation (thoughts, ideas, goals) could be just as powerful for triggering action as the sights and sounds around us. And the early study revealed "how behaviour gets started, is energized, is sustained"
The question is why change what we're doing.
