The scenario you described best represents **positive automatic reinforcement**.
In this case, Georgia's pride and satisfaction from seeing more muscle definition in the mirror serves as a naturally reinforcing outcome of her efforts in strength training. She is encouraged to continue her behavior (strength training) because of the positive feelings generated by the results (muscle definition and pride in her improvement). This reinforcement occurs automatically as a result of her actions rather than being provided by an external source.
