Debunked : “Getting motivated!”

There are only 2 ways all living beings are being motivated.

1) we are motivated TO AVOID pain/discomfort/unpleasant things (these are called ‘aversive’) and

2) we are motivated TO GET pleasure/wonderful things/things that make us feel good (these are called ‘appetitive’).
