Here are some occupation-based prompts for generating insight and establishing goals to promote engagement in restorative and meaningful activities for happiness, balance, personal growth and well-being. I came up with these to help my home health co-workers, but they can work for anyone! Cheers.
- How would you spend your time/ what would you do with your life if you didn’t have to make money? What are the barriers to doing this now, even a little bit of it? How could you overcome these barriers?
- What would your perfect day look like? When and how can you make this day happen? Try to set a date.
- What’s an unhealthy or unnecessary habit that you could cut out of your life and not even miss that much?
- How can you invest in your own health?
- What are some healthy habits that you want to be a part of your life, or that you want to be a bigger part of your daily life? What are potential barriers to establishing these habits or consistency with them? How could you work around these barriers?
- Who do you envy, if anyone? Why are they so enviable to you? How could you make your life more like theirs?
