Compare options and competing needs · S5.15
Consider capacity alongside purpose
You want to pursue a valued action without ignoring comfort, access, or energy.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Name the action and what makes it meaningful to you.
- Check practical capacity and access needs without interpreting discomfort as proof that a choice is wrong or right.
- Adapt the action, ask for help, or postpone it so the plan fits your circumstances.
An example
I want to contribute, but carrying supplies is difficult. I can offer another task or request help.
Reflect
Did the adaptation retain what mattered while respecting your needs?
Next time
Capacity can change; revise the form of the action as needed.
