(0 is calm... 10 is very anxious)

* How do you feel...
     - physically?
     - emotionally?
     - spiritually?

* Mornings...
- What is your goal for today?

* Evenings...
- Did you meet your goal?

This group met every morning and evening to review self status. The positive affirmations were at times difficult to shape. Since it is agreed that each client will be honest, daily assessments are made to determine if contracts are still in place along with safety for the client.

Each client took there turn and answer each of the questions. For example, I would say:

Kathi: I'm Kathi
Group: Hi kathi!

Kathi: I can recover.
Group: Yes you can!

Kathi: It's okay that I am different.
Group: Yes it is!

Kathi: I am loved.
Group: Yes you are!

Contracts intact: Yes
Safety level: 6
Anxiety level: 8

physically: tired
emotionally: apprehensive
spiritually: open

Today's goal: To make it though the day.

Then the same questions go to the person next to me in the group until each person has had a turn.
