A Small Cushion

Think about what a little breathing room would look like in your real life.

Purpose: Think about what a little breathing room would look like in your real life.

When to use: Use this on a steady day, not the day the money runs out.

Worksheet prompts

  1. What does a hard week cost you that a normal week does not?
  2. How much breathing room do you have right now?
  3. What would a small cushion look like for you? A number, or a thing.
    Whatever counts as a cushion to you, not to anyone else.
  4. What is one thing that would make that a little more possible?
    Your own idea of a first step. There is no right answer here.

A cushion is about room to breathe, not about being good at this.
