Making pleasant activities achievable

Now rate how achievable it would be for you to do the pleasant activities that you chose earlier in this lesson (see the exercise on page 84).

Read every activity and consider whether the activity is:

1. unachievable;
2. unlikely to be achievable;
3. somewhat achievable;
4. achievable;
5. very achievable.

Please check at least two activities that you would like to do more often. If your favourite activity is not listed below, use the ‘other’ box to write your own activity.
Unachievable Unlikely to be achievable Somewhat achievable Achievable Very achievable

Which of your activities can you do today?

It is a good idea to start with your pleasant activities as soon as possible and incorporate them into your routine.
Which of your activities can you do today? If it is inconvenient to start an activity today, think about the pleasant activities you could do tomorrow.

Remember

    Start with small goals and add more pleasant activities after you feel successful with your first try. Rethink the activities that you would like to do to help make them more achievable.

  • Pleasant activities should be achievable.
  • There are different reasons why you can feel that pleasant activities are not achievable.
  • There are ways to undertake pleasant activities despite these reasons.
