Step by step

Work through the steps at your own pace. For written exercises, you can use paper or a notebook.

  1. Name the helpful or agreed behaviour that did not happen.
  2. Did you know what to do? If not, clarify the task and what prevented understanding.
  3. Were you willing to do it? If not, examine the barrier and what could support willingness.
  4. Did it come to mind at the relevant moment? If not, plan a reminder or rehearse the situation mentally.
  5. If it came to mind, what prevented you from acting straight away? Choose a concrete solution to that barrier and a next attempt.
