Asking for help

Strategy

2024-05-14 19:06:39 UTC

Make a list of things I would like help with. Think about who in my life would be good at helping with each of those items. Reach out to each of those individuals and ask them if they can help me with a specific task.

Action plan

2024-05-14 19:09:06 UTC

Definitely have some work to do!

Jan’s DARS

2024-05-14 19:15:18 UTC

My strengths are in many of the protective factors, especially in Relationships, Internal Beliefs, and Self Control. In Initiative, I’m strong with having a hobby if one considers watching comedies or hanging out with loved ones as hobbies. I also enjoy playing my guitar & ukulele and singing, scrapbooking, and writing in my journal.

Vicki

2024-05-14 19:16:38 UTC

I have found that I have strengths in internal believes and initiative.

Vicki Goals

2024-05-14 19:18:40 UTC

Between work and home I am always in a role of caregiver. I have lost myself in that role. I need to get back to my hobby of horses and spending time with my grandchildren so that is why I have two goal categories.

Vicki strategies

2024-05-14 19:19:50 UTC

I will discuss with spouse times I can safely take for myself and spend that time riding horses or visiting the grandchildren.

Jan’s DARS

2024-05-14 19:24:10 UTC

My Goals are mostly in Initiative.

Communicate effectively.
Try many different ways to solve problems.
Be open to new ideas.
Be able to say no/not yet.
Ask for help.

I’m going to try many different ways to solve problems as my DARS Goal.

Jan’s DARS

2024-05-14 19:29:58 UTC

I’m going to give strategy 4 a try: Breaking it Down. Sometimes, it’s challenging to prioritize which task needs to be completed when several of them have similar timelines. Do I breakdown only one and then follow through 1 task at a time? Or, breakdown all of the tasks in the same timeframe & work through each steps from different tasks?

Susan S. DAR

2024-05-14 21:03:05 UTC

Got some work to do.

Susan S Goal

2024-05-14 21:13:28 UTC

My goal is to do more listening than too much talking.

Susan S Strategies

2024-05-14 21:16:36 UTC

We have bi- monthly meetings, we discuss matters that concern us, and most times I do the majority of the talking and not enough listening. We are going to make a change.

Session 1: DARS Strengths - JP

johnhinklin — 2024-05-20 19:03:16 UTC

-Good Supportive friends; mentor; I provide support to others; empathetic to others; I trust my close friends.

-My role is important; have personal strengths; I'm creative; strong beliefs.

-a few hobbies; I seek out new understanding; open to different ideas; I laugh often; I'm able to say no.

-I express my emotions; set limits for self; I'm flexable; and can calm myself.

Session 1: Goal #1 - Try "many" diff. ways to solve a prob. - JP

johnhinklin — 2024-05-20 19:08:54 UTC

This one stood out to me mostly because when I come to a problem, I tend to think about solutions and strats, then put into motion the one in my mind I think would be the best approach.

However, I tend to get tunnel vision as I work through the process of breaking out the moving parts. I think this goal will be helpful with practicing diff. strats that will provide a "tangible" list of other options that I can consider if the one I start with may not work out as effectively as originally thought.

Session 1 Strategies - JP

johnhinklin — 2024-05-20 19:23:29 UTC

After reading through the "Building Your Bounce", I like the Solution Circle concept that suggested in the "I am creative" section, which I plan to incorporate as a strategy of expanding my goal of exploring many diff. ways to solve a problem.

Also, paying more attention to my inner voice of the, "I can't" (or I wanna quit/give up) and shifting that language to I can try XYZ that gives a bit more space for options and not feel so limited.

Maybe incorporate a formula type reminder approach, i.e.: Problem - Strengths(resources) / Strategies = Goal(desired outcome)

Heather

hblanco5 — 2024-05-21 21:35:35 UTC

I have good friends that I trust. My role as a caregiver is important. I like to laugh often, express my emotions, seek out new knowledge, and am hopeful about the future.

Heather: Session 1 - Goals

hblanco5 — 2024-05-21 21:42:30 UTC

My goal is to work on my initiative, as most of my "sometimes" were listed within this category. I want to see growth in communication - being effective, being able to say no, and asking for help. As I look at myself as a friend, partner, parent, colleague, and leader this is where I could bring more into my life and the lives of others. "Clear is kind" - Brene Brown.

Heather - Session 1 Strategies

hblanco5 — 2024-05-21 21:58:58 UTC

Seeking to identify had an impact on me. Reading that allowed me to think about how I can communicate with more purpose. I often talk to fill a void - like if I keep going on and on someone will figure it all out and we can move forward. A strategy that, I think, was born out of fear and is now a habit or pattern. If I take the time to seek to identify, I can build a better communication strategy that can open the door for me to try other ways to solve problems, say no, be open to new ideas, and ask for help.
