6. What have you learnt from previously being lower on the scale?

7. What number on the scale do you want to be?

8. What actions can you take to start moving up the scale?

9. If you moved up the scale, what will be happening to tell you that you have arrived at that number?

10. What would need to happen for you to move up one point on the scale by this time next week?
