MO-TIVATOR APP: The Simple Self Care Lifestyle

The MO-TIVATOR APP’s purpose is to help build our Motivation to do the things we ‘know we should do and want to do for ourselves but don’t seem to have the motivation to do.

The MO-TIVATOR APP creates a FOCUSED spot for us to add up the Simple Self-Care Micro Decisions we make throughout the day; clicking the + sign rewards our brain each time with the extrinsic reward of seeing the number go up.

How does it Motivate?

Research shows that adding a positive extrinsic reward can help build and keep motivation levels up. This is similar to how we feel when we get likes on social media. Our brain has a drive to want to see the number go up. The app also gives us a convenient spot to track and tally all our Self Care efforts, which comes in handy.

Having this FOCUSED place to tally all the little self care things we do, all the good decisions we make throughout the day, week, month, year, all time… helps us place our FOCUS on how much we HAVE done instead of getting hyper-focused on what we’ve failed to do.

So instead of being completely thrown off by focusing on what we haven’t done—our ‘failures’—and sabotaging our goals, the MO-TIVATOR APP helps us keep our focus on all the self care efforts we have achieved.

Stats Page

The tallied numbers are organized on the stats page. It is a place where we can go to remind ourselves of how far we’ve come. Seeing the extrinsic proof of the tallied numbers encourages us to keep moving forward.

Get Motivated in 2 Seconds Post

The post Get Motivated in 2 Sec is where I share how the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Rewards support our Brain in our plight to take better care of ourselves (the premise on which the MO-TIVATOR APP was designed).

Building this positive messaging loop is how we can increase our motivation to do more self care. To dive deeper into how it works and the references, head to the post: Get Motivated in 2 Sec.
