Make care and meaningful activity practical · S7.20

Choose an activity without making it a treatment task

You want something ordinary to do that fits your present interests and capacity.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a familiar hands-on activity you genuinely want, or choose no activity.
2. Set the scope and stop point yourself, with support available if wanted.
3. Notice your preferences without using the result as a measure of healing.

An example

I arrange a few items on a shelf because I want to, then stop when I have had enough.

Reflect

Was the activity chosen and manageable?

Next time

Repeat only if it remains useful or interesting.
