Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I just don’t believe I can do this, and no amount of "you’ve got this" or hyping myself up moves that conviction an inch
- The moment I hit a setback I take it as a verdict that I’m just not good enough and start pulling away to protect myself
- The second something goes wrong I go straight to "I’m just not a [math, people, whatever] person," like the setback is a fixed fact about me
- I keep putting this off because deep down I don’t think I can actually pull it off
- I hit one failure and the whole goal suddenly feels impossibly far away
Practices that may help
- Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t)
Jacquelynne Eccles’s expectancy-value theory proposes that motivation to pursue a task is jointly determined by two factors: expectancy (your belief that you can succeed) and value (how much you care about success). Both are required — high value with low expectancy produces anxiety and avoidance; high expectancy with low value produces competent indifference. The theory has a substantial empirical base primarily in academic achievement contexts, with reasonable generalisation to broader life domains. - Build expectancy through mastery experiences, not just affirmations
Expectancy — the belief that you can succeed — grows from actual small wins, not self-talk.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Adopt a mastery goal orientation, not just a performance one
Pursue goals to get better, not just to look good — especially for long-range work.
Goal Setting Theory, Made Practical - Attribute outcomes to effort and strategy
How you explain a result decides whether it builds or breaks your efficacy.
Self-Efficacy: Building the Belief You Can - Raise your expectancy of success before starting
Boost confidence that effort will actually lead to a good outcome — low expectancy is a core driver of delay.
The Procrastination Equation, Made Practical - Invoke the possible self during setbacks
When you fail or stall, return to the hoped-for self — not to the outcome goal — as your re-orienting anchor.
Possible Selves, Made Practical - Recover from setbacks without quitting the goal
Build a routine for bouncing back so setbacks don’t end the pursuit.
Grit: Passion and Perseverance, Honestly Assessed - Diagnose whether you are stuck on expectancy or value
Before trying to motivate yourself, identify which of the two factors is actually low.
Expectancy-Value Theory: Why You Try (or Don’t) - Run a structured mastery debrief after each performance
Immediately after any significant attempt, extract what worked before the memory fades.
Mastery Experiences - Socialise your values and expectations to reduce hidden motivation barriers
Others’s expectations and transmitted values shape whether you believe you belong in a domain — making implicit messages explicit clears hidden motivation blocks.
