Strong Flexibility Checklist

SKILL I DEMONSTRATED THIS SKILL

I CAN BE EMOTIONALLY FLEXIBLE & LOOK AT THE WIDER PICTURE

When I am experiencing an unpleasant feeling such as disappointment, jealousy,
shame or sadness, I know it will not last forever and I can think of wider positive
things to help soothe myself.

When something is difficult or unpleasant, I can remember that this will not be
forever and there will be happier moments ahead.

When I am upset by something that has happened, I can take a wider
perspective by thinking of positive things in my life.

I CAN COMPROMISE

I can think of ways to compromise.

I can compromise: I am able to give up a bit of what I would like so that
everyone’s needs are met better.

I can be flexible enough to follow an instruction or direction given by someone
else. I can feel a sense of control over what happens to me even when someone
else is giving the directions.

I can follow someone else’s way of doing something, even if it is different to the
one I felt was best.
