Re: BERI: Techniques to encourage motivations (3)

BERI is an acronym of body, experience, reward and ideomotor which are techiniques to encourage your motivations.

Experience: New experience is a good source of your motivation. We really enjoy anything at the first few times, but we get used to them soon. The book said two methods about experience. The first method is to try doing the accustomed things as a new experience. The second one is to make the accustomed things as your good havits.

To be continued.

Re: BERI: Techniques to encourage motivations

As I said, BERI is an acronym of Body, Experiense, Reward and Ideomotor. The book said these four actions eventually make us get much more motivations.

Body: Moving your body makes your brain awake. A brain makes the body move in general, but this book said it's vice versa. I have ever had similar experiences.

BERI: Techniques to encourage motivation

I read a short book about how to get motivations in terms of the brain system. That was not an academic book, but a half comic half essay. However, what that said was very useful for me.

Our brains have a part to get motivations and we can send pulse to it by some actions, although we cannot directly access to the part. The book called BERI for those actions. That is an acronym.

B: Body
E: Experience
R: Reward
I: Ideomotor

Blogger error

This is the first post to this blog, so I was wondering how a nice article I should have wrote. However, I've been getting errors of Blogger and I could not post any articles right now. I'm writing this arguement on the Gmail composer. I will save it in Gmail and copy it to Blogger when it is fixed.

By the way, I might be going to write about Android or BERI. BERI is an acronym of techniques to encourage motivation.
