Problem: Being away from my family
Five Characteristics:
- I have a big family
- Too dependent on my family
- Too use to being around my family all the time
- Home sick
- I'm 8 hours away from them with no car
Three strengths I have that helps me address the problem:
- I'm a strong person
- I'm good at distracting myself from thinking of my family
- Knowing I'll see them eventually
Something that stops me from addressing the problem is when I get sad as if I'm never going to see them again. Someone who helps me think through the problem is my mother when we talk and she keeps me updated with family things so I won't feel like I'm missing out. The real barrier to addressing the issue is getting it through my head that I'm growing up and there's going to be times I'm away from my family. To address this barrier I'm going to continue to have my weekly talks with my mom so I can know what's going on back home with my family. Another way to address this barrier is by having positive thoughts and trying to see the bright side of being away from home and on my own. Since I've identified a way to begin addressing my problem it's changed the way I feel about the future because before I felt nervous about being on my own and away from my family but now I'm feeling excited to see what comes next and to become more independent. This problem shown me that I'm really a family person but I care more about making them proud and if that means I have to be away from them to earn a degree of my field then I'll do it. This problem has a lot to do with my sense of self-efficacy because I believe in myself, I know I'll be okay with being away from my family. I have to believe in myself in order to reach my goals.
