Purpose: Takes one what-if thought all the way to the end instead of leaving it circling.
When to use: Use this when the same what-if has been going around for days.
Worksheet prompts
- What is the what-if that keeps coming back?
Write the exact sentence your head uses. - Follow it out. If that happened, then what? And after that?
- At the very end of that chain, what would you actually do?
- Now that it is on paper, how likely does it look?
Most what-ifs get smaller when you make them finish the sentence.
