Tap your passion
Being passionate about a project or goal — no matter how big or small — makes us feel alive.
It is invigorating to think about the changes you could make in yourself or in the world.
This is the excitement that this course tries to spark — and keep alive.
The course’s focus is on practical ways to help you turn vague directions and ideas into consuming passions.
No matter whether you only have an uncertain sense of your goal or are half-way towards it, this course can help.
What you will gain from the course
This course is all about the practical steps you can take to work towards your goals.
All the tips, tricks and procedures are based on studies published in scientific journals.
But the focus is on the process of increasing your motivation, not on the studies themselves.
Each of the 17 steps begins with a short summary and has a clear learning point.
The course is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Find your spark
The steps include:
- Identify your goals for change in the future and where you are at now.
- Discover the different types of motivation, while establishing what it is that drives you personally forward.
- Learn simple ways to avoid procrastination and get started.
- Develop a suite of psychological tools to scaffold your journey towards change.
Part 2: Spark your emotions
The steps include:
- Learn to use your emotions to help push you forwards.
- Discover the most motivating attitude towards mistakes and mis-steps and towards the self.
- Use negative emotions like anger and envy to successfully complete your project.
Part 3: Keep the spark alive
The steps include:
- Explore your very personal motivation.
- Notice how changes in your behaviour are reflected in changes to your identity.
- Review your progress and feed that back in to any changes required.
Be your own motivational coach
This course uses some standard motivational techniques that a therapist or counsellor might use.
Each of the 17 steps is accompanied by a point to stop and think.
These are short pauses for you to reflect on your personal motivation.
They are designed to help you identify specific things like:
- How and when to get started.
- What should really be driving you forwards.
- Which specific emotions can help — how and when.
- What is stopping you and how to overcome those barriers.
