Activation is the specific action or process towards action we take, it is the movement process. Motivation is the desire to have action, ultimately leading towards a completion of an individual goal. It’s the crucial element in setting and attaining one’s objectives. We can have one without the other, but when we can pull upon our awareness and force both to work collaboratively we have further advancement.
Breaking down our processes into smaller parts allows us to see the all the moving elements that goes into our responses. This allows us to respond within awareness, and not react within pure emotion.
Being able to name what action is needed or desired is a key step. Naming our motivator (what our end goal is helps us achieve more meaningful action). The goal is getting two moving parts to function together.
