Part 3: Make a Plan

Change Is Your Choice

The decision to make changes is up to you. You can decide which changes you want to make, how long it takes you to make them, and who you tell.

 

Check in with yourself daily. Pick one of your action steps from Part 2 or a new one. Answer the following:

•  What do I want to do? Am I willing to do this?

•  If there is something I am unable to do, what do I need to do to get there?

•  What am I going to do right now?

 

Check in with Your Values

Remember those values you identified in Part 1?

•  How will continuing this journey help me live another one of my values?

•  How have I cared for myself today?
