I started my motivation assignment. I did notice that I use have to and need to in regards to work and responsibilities of being a mom. I talked to my employee about it. We’re both still a little confused on how work is not a need. It’s also interesting to hear those extrinsic phrases when other people say them. I’m amazed how often they’re used. I hear 'I need', 'I have to', 'I should' a lot in society. It’s been useful for me to take responsibility for my actions by taking the choice and want phrases in. I find it a bit freeing to be more mindful of using words like 'I choose to', 'I want to', 'I'd like to', 'I'm willing to'. I'm excited to continue this process.
