Explanation

The Motivation Game consists of 140 four-color playing cards, divided into four groups:

1. Activities These cards will help people find answers to questions such as: What do I enjoy doing? What gives me energy? For example: designing, improving or entertaining.

2. Inspirations These cards will help people find answers to questions such as: What inspires me? What helps me to get in touch with my inspiration? Inspiration often causes inner motivation. For example: art, nature or music.

3. Conditions These cards will help people find an answer to the question: What conditions need to be met so as to make it possible for me to work effectively and in a pleasant way? For example: recognition, variety or visible results.

4. Obstacles These cards will help people find an answer to the question: Which thoughts obstruct me in realizing activities for which I am motivated? This category deals with obstructing convic- tions. These are powerful returning thinking patterns that effects you in a negative way. For example: 'everything I do is a failure' or 'I am frightened of being dependent'.

Each of these groups can be applied separately as well in combination.

We also developed 'The Motivation Games Manual' for professional use (trainers, coaches, managers, teachers and consultants). This manual contains 25 different methods of play and additional theory, questions and exercises. You can find more information in the tab 'Manual' on this page.
