Internal vs External Motivation

TL;DR: There is only 2 motivations: Internal, External - it can't be both.

External motivation are driven by fear, anxiety (environment). It only works when you are under stress (eg. have to complete this assignment) and hence vanishes under lack of necessity.

Internal Motivation are driven by curiosity and novelty. It is driven out of freedom, and not out of something-which-must-be-done. This type of Motivation is needed for things like self care (eg: go gym, sleep well)

Try to throw away the outcomes and expectations - do things because you wish to, not forced to.
