Choose or review a commitment · S1.16

Clarify whether a change is yours to make

You are considering a change but are unsure about your reasons.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Name the specific change and what you hope it would make possible.
2. List the benefits, costs, and practical constraints you see, distinguishing your reasons from others' expectations.
3. Choose a small next step, more information, or a decision not to proceed for now.

An example

I want a different routine to make time for drawing, but a daily commitment is too much. I can try one session.

Reflect

Which reason matters most to you?

Next time

Revisit the choice when circumstances change, without requiring a fixed commitment today.
