How does motivation work?

Motivation is the process of initiating and directing behavior based on the desire to achieve a goal. It involves the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that activate behavior. In everyday usage, the term motivation is often used to describe why a person does something. It is the driving force behind goal-oriented actions. 

Motivation involves the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that activate behavior. The biological component involves the reward and punishment system of the body. The reward system releases chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin that increase pleasure and motivation. The punishment system releases hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline which can lead to an increase in fear and avoidance of certain situations. 

The emotional component involves the feelings of satisfaction and happiness that come from achieving a goal. The social component involves the need for approval from others and the need to belong. The cognitive component involves the mental processes of goal setting and problem-solving.
