Hey everyone!
This wellbeing activity is about planning for when things don't go our way.
We've all been in situations where we've come so close to accomplish a goal. You're so ready to GET IT DONE!
Until...
Life gets in the way. And suddenly that goal seems totally out of reach.
I have trouble with making goals and plans for this reason. I haven't made new year's resolutions in years. A part of me doesn't want to be disappointed when things don't turn out the way I expected them to.
Obviously we can't plan for every possibility, but we can try to think about some foreseeable challenges that might get in the way of our achievements. And we can think of some ways that we can work around them or adapt the steps we need to accomplish our goals in light of these possibilities. For the psychology nerds of our community, this is known as coping planning.
So for this week's activity:
1. Outline some steps you need to achieve a goal. It could be anything, big or small!
2. List some possible challenges or barriers to achieving this goal.
3. List some strategies you can use to overcome these potential issues.
Looking forward to reading everyone's responses!
