Motivation Card Deck

Need a creative way to start your session? Use the Motivation Card Deck. The open-ended questions will break the ice and stimulate conversation. Use them alone or in conjunction with the corresponding page in the Motivation Workbook.

Motivation means incentive, inspiration, enthusiasm; it is the driving force behind behavior. People need motivation to face difficulties in their lives, make significant behavioral change, and reach their maximum potential. Motivation is achieved by identifying ones strengths, interests, abilities, hopes and dreams.

Sample cards:

• "Old-fashioned versus modern ideas often conflict. Share an important old belief of yours; explain why you still agree or why you disagree."
• "Share a situation in which you played by the ruled or in which you cheated; what was the outcome?"
• "Soaring birds get a broader perspective from height and distance. If you could see the big picture, how might your current troubles seem smaller and your future appear brighter?"
