I had a thought this morning...
We always talk about how our diet directly affects our motivation. We always say "My diet has been great the past week... i've felt very motivated" or "I ate something "bad"... and i've been very unmotivated."
Is motivation the product of a healthy diet/body?
or
Is motivation something that is completely psychological? and if it is... how does it affect the body? can it be used to our benefit?
I received news this morning that an old friend is having great success and is doing very well. After thinking about the situation and being happy for my friend, I felt more energized to do the things i needed to do and to do them well. My body temperature increased and I felt great doing my morning routine. It continued through my morning and ultimately improved my perspectives towards most things. Does anyone have a physiological explanation for this? This surely cannot be adrenaline...
