The Inner Fire

Each behaviour is preceded by a thought.

R.W.Emerson

The holy flame. A metaphore which evokes the powerful force which strikes the souls of heroes and heroins. Where is it about? How to flame it?

After investigating different disciplines about the description and the methods of how te incend motivation, some investigators defended others descarted the ideas of other investigators. So we felt the need to integrate all this knowledge in a Game-Goal for ritual meditation or a bord game, recognizing the different elements of motivations and using emotional and mental processes to awake motivation.

Motivation is a powerful engine which allows us to reach our goals, keeping the energy of enthousiasm constantly present.

We alle have memories of times in our lives, that we could, and others that we couldn't, although our mind consciently want to reach something, the enthousiasm didn't appear and the project seemed impossible to realize.

What is the difference between one situation and the other? What motivates us? Which elements have to be aligned so our motivation gets started?
The great challenge which offers this game, is to discover our personal formula, since motivation is a different equation for each of us.

GOALS:

It's a game to learn and explore different motivational strategies, discovering the ones we already have and the new ones we can integrate.

A game to recover entousiasm to enjoy what we want to do. We are the ones which really have the power to motivate us or not; it's suffisient to orient our ideas in the right direction.

This design allows is to identify, in each proposed model, the personal values; finding at the end of the game, the formula of our own self-motivations to use when we want it each time we need it.

MATERIAL:

The game includes: 4 grafic pieces, Position Cards and Submodality Cards.

FOUNDATIONS:

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Design Human Engineering, Design of the Holografic Mind®, Maslow Models, Atkinson, Campbell, principles of Biodance and Tai Chi, symbolic elements of traditional tales, etc.
