What if ? Thinking about consequences for our actions

When To Use This Tool

Use this Tool anytime you feel uncertain. It is common to feel unsure or uncertain about making a change as change can be scary. It takes dedication and commitment. Think back to times when you’ve made positive changes previously. What's worked? Did you find it easy? What helped you stay motivated?

How To Use This Tool

At Yarn SMART meetings, you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and have time to think about the positives and negatives about the behavior you’re wanting to change.
