UNDERTOWN UPDATE #1


GOOD TIMEZONE TO YOU, OUR LOVELY VIEWERS ! WE HAVE CONNECTED TO SPIRY'S EMAIL LIST TO SHARE TODAY'S TOPIC: 'TOXIC' MOTIVATION .

have you ever wondered how demons motivate themselves to do things they might not want to do ?
most demons are self motivated creatures-it's a gland in their body that automatically sends motivation when needed . their bodies and brains move to do the action that best serves them . no need for a pep talk, no need to be in the 'right headspace' . just think and then do .

sometimes this leads to consequences, since many thoughts inside a demon's head are impulsive by nature . but other times it leads to great success !
but what about the demons who struggle to get motivated ? Her Excellency would call them defective, lazy, or accuse them of spending too much time around humans*; it can't be helped !

BUT WE AT UNDERTOWN UPDATES BELIEVE HUMANS CAN HELP, AND A WEAK SELF MOTIVATION GLAND CAN BE CURED WITH THESE SIMPLE MINDSET CHANGES !

MINDSET CHANGE #1 - GUN TO HEAD
​
this mindset works best for Low Level, High Level and High Level-M demons

so you don't want to do that thing, ok . now imagine there's a gun to the back of your head, and the creature holding it will shoot if you DON'T do that thing . will you still sit and do nothing ? of course not ! now if you want to make it even more motivating, imagine it's a gun from the DPP (Demons Protecting the Peace, for humans who don't know~). unless you're a Circled demon, getting shot by one of these would mean a complete fatality-it shoots both your brain and your heart instead of just one, leaving nothing to regenerate either parts . you will be ctrl alt del from existence if you don't get up and do that onnnneee thing ! whatever it is .

you can even practice this mindset with a friend; ask another demon to put a gun or something else life threatening to your back as you start to get the motivation to do the action you gotta do, and tell them to stay there until your task is complete . your self motivation gland will respond accordingly and help you get the task done . if they're a great friend, they'll shoot you without hesitation when you start to slack off or try to negotiate, and that's someone you should keep around for a long time . they want to see you succeed, or get hurt trying ! <3

MINDSET CHANGE #2 - FOCUS ON THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS
​
this mindset works best for Med Level, High Level-F and No Limit demons

some demons panic too much at the thought of a gun to their head and become fueled with fear instead of motivation . so if thinking about mindset #1 has you paralyzed, #2 might be for you ! wouldn't it suck if you didn't do the thing you need to do, and then your ex turns out better than you ? or that friend who said you wouldn't amount to anything could find you and say they were right all along ? wouldn't you want to shoot yourself into space if everyone in your friend group became successful and saw you as LAME ??? doesn't that sound awful ??? is your self motivation gland triggered by these thoughts and now you want to work on improving your life ?? great !!

see, if you focus a whole lot on how other demons perceive you-something that humans are extremely good at, take notes !-suddenly you'll be fueled not with fear, but with determination ! DETERMINATION TO BE BETTER THAN EVERYONE AROUND YOU !! then demons will say how cool you are, how motivated you come off, and maybe your ex will even get back with you because you're not a sad sack anymore ! think about how demons would view you if you didn't do what needs to be done, then do the opposite !!

now you may think, as a human, that these are problematic or toxic ways of motivating yourself-and you'd be correct ! that's why it works so well for many demons who struggle to get going; the self motivation gland responds best to intense emotions . they are taking something to the extreme and using it to motivate themselves . demons are very good at going to far ends of the spectrum on things-it's what makes us demons !

​
thank you human beings for the inspiration on curing a demon's lack of self motivation-we can learn a lot from each other <3 if you were hoping for some healthier mindset changes that can help you get motivated as a human, well ..i'm not sure, but maybe reading another self help book will work !! we see humans reading those all the time and they seem just fine ! your inner demon might find these mindset changes helpful though, or if you know an earth demon who could use these tips, pass it on .

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND EYES, LOVELY VIEWERS ! WE WILL CONNECT AGAIN VERY SOON .

A QUESTION FOR YOU TO HOLD IN YOUR HEAD UNTIL THEN: WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR SELF MOTIVATION GLAND, AND WHAT CAUSES IT TO STOP WORKING ?

*an Undertown study (source linked) has shown that demons who spend more time around humans are 2x more likely to experience a weaker self motivation gland than demons who don't associate with humans at all . funny enough, the same study showed humans get a small boost in motivation when spending time around demons-maybe it's to keep themselves from dying or looking lame in front of them ?
