What is the theory behind this motivation worksheet?
Motivation is the driving force behind all our actions. It forms the basis of the goals we set for ourselves and the actions we take to achieve them. According to Deci and Ryan’s ‘Self-Determination Theory’, motivation can be intrinsic (based on personal needs, values, beliefs) or it can be extrinsic (external rewards such as a praise or something tangible). Goal achievement is possible when there is a balance between the two with a slight more emphasis on intrinsic motivation.
One of the ways to keep yourself motivated to achieve your goals is to make a habit of visualising them. It is the process of imagining or creating mental images of where you want to be or what you want to achieve in the future.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will provide a step by step guide into making a vision board. It can help both children and adults alike to visualise their motivations and where they see themselves sometime in the future. A vision board helps inspire and act as a daily reminder of one’s goals thus keeping them focused and motivated.
How to use the worksheet?
This guide can be used with children and adults to help them make their own vision boards. It provides an idea of how to make one but the entire process and end result depends completely on the individual’s own creativity and preferences. Once the idea is understood, the next page can be used to plan a rough layout and brainstorm the content for the vision board.
