The Positive RoadThink of a current obstacle or challenge you are facing that’s taking you down “The byway to bleakness ” Attempt to move your thinking on this to the highway to hope by answering the following questions
o What opportunities might this present? Who could benefit?
o Who can I connect with for support and guidance?
o What strengths can I draw upon in this situation?
o What would a successful outcome look like? What could a great solution be?
o How can I see this as an opportunity to grow or develop?
o What’s worked well in the past that can help here? What learning can I transfer to this situation?
Come up with a new statement or belief that
takes you along The highway to hope
What actions can you take to help you stay
there?
