Stabilization is not the end of the work. This tool helps you name what stays, what needs maintenance, and what would fade if you do not replace it. It also helps you plan the next 8 weeks without STAT, and identify the warning signals that would call you back to recovery work. Takes 25 to 35 minutes. Auto-saves as you go.
Section 1, list every habit, structure, or practice you adopted during STAT. Be honest, include even the ones that did not stick. Section 2, sort each one into a category. Section 3, for items that would fade unless replaced, write the replacement plan. Section 4, name the warning signals that would call you back to recovery work. Section 5, write three commitments for the next 8 weeks without STAT.
List every habit, structure, or practice you adopted during the program. Method changes, scheduling changes, accountability structures, mindset shifts. Include the ones you struggled with as well as the ones you nailed. Aim for between five and ten items.
For each item you listed, decide which category it belongs in. Be honest, not hopeful. Most items in the third column require an active replacement plan in Section 3. Items in the first two columns mostly require self-monitoring.
For each item you marked "will fade unless replaced" in Section 2, write the structure that will take its place. "I will keep doing it on my own" is not a plan. What is the new structure that holds you to it?
What signals would tell you to return to recovery work? Concrete is better than vague. "Things feel hard" is too vague to act on. "My grade drops below a C in any class for two consecutive exams" is a signal you can actually catch in real time.
Three commitments for the period after STAT. Realistic without the cohort holding you to them. Specific enough that you can tell at the end of each week whether you did them or not.
