  1. Focus on what people are doing rather than evaluate their performance
  2. Focus on the effort rather than the outcome
  3. Focus on motivation from outside (extrinsic), rather than within (intrinsic)
  4. Focus on what is positive rather than what is negative
Explanation

Answer: C - Outside motivation, also known as extrinsic motivation, is not suggested in counseling. Rather, motivation from within, also known as intrinsic motivation, is encouraged. Focusing on behavior rather than the person, focusing on what is being learned rather than the lack of learning, and focusing on the present more than the past or future are also actions that a therapist can encourage.
