This tool allows you to create more accurate thinking regarding an event or situation resulting in greater personal resilience. The first step is to write down your beliefs regarding the event or situation:
It is important to remember the items that you can really be sure about. The rest is guesswork.
It's important to break free of the chain of future-threat beliefs. It is in your best interest to establish what's most likely to happen and take steps to prepare for it. Think outside the box.
What does it take to climb out of a future-threat rut? It's critically important to create best-case scenarios. This will help you move beyond the worst-case scenario.
Once you have the worst and best case scenarios in place as a frame it is easier for you to locate the most likely outcomes.
Write down your solution strategies; devise two or three ways that you can fix the real problems that stem from your adversity.
What steps can you take to handle the most likely outcome? Work on zeroing in on the most likely outcome, the solution may be more obvious.
