What change are you weighing?
Both sides
Tap a box to fill it. There are no wrong answers, and the good things about how it is now count too.
How important is this change to you, right now?
If you decided to, how confident are you that you could?
What might move it up one point? Optional.
Where I am
What feels like a next step, if any?
About feeling two ways
Wanting to change and not wanting to, at the same time, is normal. It doesn’t mean you’re weak or not serious. It usually means both sides matter to you.
Where you land is yours. You might decide to change, to wait, or not to. Any of those is something you can think through on your own, or with Baseer if you want, without being lectured.
Decision balance and the importance and confidence rulers are tools from motivational interviewing, developed by William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick. The wording here is original.
