Motivation Recalibration

Meaning

Motivation Recalibration is a targeted, adaptive process of resetting and optimizing the neurobiological set point for reward sensitivity and effort allocation, particularly in individuals experiencing apathy, anhedonia, or chronic low drive. This clinical strategy aims to restore a healthy, proportional relationship between the perceived value of a goal and the necessary energetic and cognitive investment. It is distinct from simple boosting, focusing instead on sustainable homeostatic restoration of the motivation system.
