Starting from an old path

• What have been my hobbies and leisure interests over the years? Make a list.
• What did I like/not like about each of these activities?
  • Which one(s) did I truly enjoy and would I like to get back into them at this point in my life?
  • What are barriers to getting back into those activities, or potential supports that would allow me to get back into those activities?
  • Could I do any of these activities with my partner/family/friends/children? Could I teach my loved ones how to do something I enjoy and am good at?
    • At this point, if any conclusions have been drawn, establish a plan to start doing the desired activity and set a date to begin. What, when, where, alone or with whom, how, and… why? Why is it important to do this?

Finding a new path

Write lists:

• What am I good at?
• What have I always been told I’m good at?
• What do I enjoy?
• What sensations do I like? Sights/smells/sounds/tastes/tactile sensations/movement
  • What could I do to feel what I love more often?
• What do I daydream about?
• What do I deeply care about?
• What do I want to accomplish before I die? 

Preferences: either/or

• Calm or exciting
• Fast or slow
• Alone or with others
• High-stimulation or low-stimulation
• Inside or outside
