Part 1: Identifying Patterns Strategic

Strategic Step 1 "Acknowledging your viewpoint may provide insight to your mindfulness, the capacity to be cognizant of occurrences and stimuli," states the textbook (Mclean, 2018).

Strategic Step 2: Everyone is constantly full with diverse feelings, concerns, fears, aspirations, and intentions when we speak (Mclean, 2018).

Strategic Step 3: Our literature briefly discusses views, attitudes, and beliefs. This stood out to me since we should all recognize that our notions are not fixed and may be updated or adjusted (Mclean, 2018).

Declaration 1: In order to go ahead with my objective of improving my facial expressions, I will have to comprehend other people's perspectives as well as my own, and I will need to pause and reflect before reacting.

These exercises and my realization of all that comes into our responses, facial expressions, and so on will assist me view things from other people's perspectives rather than simply responding immediately.

Declaration 2: In order to progress with my aim of improving my facial expressions, I must recognize that everything can be adjusted and strengthened. Nothing is irreversible; our face expressions may be altered, and there are several ways that can assist me in achieving this aim.

I believe what will assist me is that we're currently wearing masks, so the patients cannot see my facial expressions, thus now is the best moment to correct them! I need to drill this into my brain so that it is a practice rather than an assignment that I must complete.

Declaration 3: In order to progress toward my goal of improving my facial expressions, I might need to apply all of the teachings and tactics I have learned and practice applying numerous situations so that I am prepared for these real-world encounters when they occur in my life.

Leaving aside half an hour a day to exercise improving on my facial expressions till it becomes a habit would help me achieve this.

Part 2: Plan and Practice

Surroundings

It is my intent to have this chat with my superior in his office as part of my plan. There is one workstations, a sofa, and a couple of windows in his office. His office is located at the rear of the building, between the chapel and the meditation room, in a very calm place. In a closed environment, just the two of us, we'll have the opportunity to openly discuss our feelings and concerns.

People

My boss and I will be the only participants in this communication session. My supervisor is a really laid-back, kind, and helpful individual. He is a pleasure to work with. My salary will be the topic of discussion throughout this exchange.

Reflection

As a part of covert rehearsal, you'll be rehearsing your situation or skit over and again, whether you're doing it in front of an audience or in your bathroom while sitting on a toilet. I believe it was a great way for me to think through all of the various consequences, both good and bad, of my strategy.
