Who is present? Where are you? What are you doing? What makes you feel happy and content? Are there any routines you need to follow? How is the pace of your day? Use your answers to these questions and complete the first table below.Step 2: Now, think about your worst day. What is happening on a day when everything seems to be going wrong? Is there anything missing from this kind of day? Write your answers in the table below. Step 3: After you complete the Best Day/Worst Day table, sort out what is “most important to you” and “what others need to know or can do to best support you in having a good day.”Table: 1 Best Day/Worst DayBest DayWorst DayFor example: “On a best day, I am working outside at the local county park and I am doing all my jobs well.”For example: “When my father is away working with the military, I can get depressed. When I feel this way, I don’t want to even get out of bed and may not go to work.” Table 2: Most Important To/What Others Need to Know and/or Do to Best Support MeMost Important ToWhat Others Need to Know and/or Do to Best Support MeFor example: “Being successful at work is very important to me”“Having my father near me and spending time with him” For example: “I miss my dad when he is away with the military and it is hard for me to get out of bed. Reminding me that he will be back soon or that I can Skype him soon helps me put it in perspective.
