I ran across this article and thought it seemed
like an interesting idea. It basically says changing your perspective from the
1st person "I" to the 3rd person "he" or "she"
can help you gain an outsider's perspective on how to reach your goal(s) and
subsequently improve motivation. I have heard of talking to yourself (2nd
person) to improve motivation, but never 3rd. The real question is can this
actually help improve motivation or is it just weird? What do you think? Anyone
already do this? Anyone see any potential problems with doing this? Is it possible that using this technique could alter your appraisal of an event thereby changing the resulting motive?
