Intro

Energy & Motivation

Motivation is the driving force that pushes us towards our goals. It's the internal or external factor that makes us want to act. Energy is the physical or mental power that fuels our actions. It's the capacity to do work.

What are the key characteristics of motivation and energy?

  • Motivation can be intrinsic (coming from within, like personal satisfaction) or extrinsic (coming from outside, like rewards or pressure).
  • Energy can be physical (related to bodily functions) or mental (related to cognitive processes).
  • Both motivation and energy are interconnected. High motivation can lead to increased energy levels, and vice versa.

Why are motivation and energy important?

  • Motivation is crucial for goal achievement, as it provides the necessary drive and persistence.
  • Energy is essential for carrying out tasks and overcoming challenges.
  • Both are vital for overall well-being and success in life.

Motivation and energy in practice: Studying for an exam

  • Motivation: A student might be motivated to study for an exam because of a desire to achieve a good grade, fear of failure, or a personal interest in the subject.
  • Energy: The student needs physical energy to stay awake and focused, and mental energy to process information and solve problems.

What are some points of attention regarding motivation and energy?

  • Balance: It's important to find a balance between motivation and energy. Overexertion can lead to burnout, while a lack of motivation can hinder progress.
  • Self-care: Prioritizing self-care, such as sleep, nutrition, and stress management, can help maintain energy levels and support motivation.
  • Goal setting: Clear and achievable goals can provide a sense of purpose and direction, boosting motivation.
  • Time management: Effective time management can help prevent procrastination and conserve energy.
  • Mindset: A positive mindset can enhance motivation and resilience.

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
