Motivation and emotion are both part of affect, a core psychological phenomenon. Affect is a combination of physiological and emotional experiences that guide our behavior and decision making. 

Motivation is an inner drive, impulse, emotion, or desire that moves someone to a particular action. It can be caused by internal processes like thoughts, emotions, goals, and values. 
There are two types of motivation:
