Session 1: Motivation and Goals
What is it?
Motivation is the energy or reason behind what we do.
Goals are the things we want to achieve.
Together, they keep us moving forward in life.
Why is it important?
Without motivation, we may feel stuck. Without goals, we may feel lost.
Knowing how to set goals and motivate ourselves helps us grow, succeed, and stay focused.
Why do we need to know this?Â
Because everyone wants to achieve somethingâ big or small.
Learning how to stay motivated makes it easier to reach dreams and handle challenges.
Deep thinking Questions:
- What motivates you the most: rewards, passion, or responsibility?
- Do you prefer small goals every day or one big goal for the future? Why?
- How do you feel when you achieve a goal?
- Have you ever failed at a goal? What did you learn?
- Do you think motivation comes from inside you or from others?
- Who inspires you to keep going?
- Do you think money is a strong motivator? Why or why not?

If motivation was a drink, what would it taste like?
I would choose a Chai Tea – It is tasty, spicy and gives a calm feeling when you drink it. It gives clarity of mind and this leads you to motivation.
Whatâs the funniest goal you could set for yourself this week?
I think talking to my hair and asking it nicely to fall into the right place. I would also ask it to stay in place and behave… No one wants a bad hair day.
If goals had a mascot, what would it be?
I will choose a Unicorn of course! Who wouldnât want to see a gigantic unicorn with a colourful hairdo and bright smile. She would cheer the loudest and have the best dance moves.
Which emoji best describes how motivated you are today?
My emoji would be a laughing face đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł – I always use this face when I send messages and I laugh most of the time even when I feel a little demotivated sometimes. (Not today)
What silly reward could you give yourself for completing a goal?
My silly reward would be sit alone in a room or in the garden in complete silence. I feel like I am busy all the time, work, home, family etc. so, I enjoy having a few moments of quiet. To breathe, relax and clear my mind.
If motivation was a food, would it be fast food or fine dining?
I would choose fine dining. Definitely a seafood restaurant with a variety of fish and seafood dishes and delicious desserts.
If motivation was a cartoon character, who would it be?
I would choose the Fairy God Mother of Cinderella, her most famous quotes is “Even miracles take a little time”. This is enough to motivate me.

The baboon from The Lion King. Rafiki – has a weird and wonderful way to teach life lessons and amazing wisdoms! I would love to have a conversation with him.
