| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| not at all | somewhat | very much |
NATURAL: I’ll keep doing this activity because it will feel “natural” to me and I’ll be able to stick with it.
ENJOY: I’ll keep doing this activity because I will enjoy doing it; I’ll find it to be interesting and challenging.
VALUE: I’ll keep doing this activity because I will value and identify with doing it; I’ll do it freely even when it’s not enjoyable.
GUILTY: I’ll keep doing this activity because I would feel ashamed, guilty, or anxious if I don’t do it; I’ll force myself.
SITUATION: I’ll keep doing this activity because somebody else will want me to, or because my situation will force me to.
Expressing gratitude: Counting your blessings for what you have (either to a close other or privately, through contemplation or a journal) or conveying your gratitude and appreciation to one or more individuals whom you’ve never properly thanked.
