Notice strengths and real support · S11.4

Identify resources for a difficult ordinary task

You want to know what could support you before deciding how to proceed.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Name the task and the practical help it may require.
2. List relevant abilities, tools, access arrangements, and available people, noting limits.
3. Choose one resource to arrange or a question to ask before proceeding.

An example

Written directions and a contact person would help me understand the unfamiliar venue.

Reflect

Which resource is actually available?

Next time

Use the information in planning without treating strengths as proof you must confront a fear.
