What is the trigger for this? Is this agood or bad time? Has my work,family or financial situation changed?What parts of this do I control?

How would this fit into my currentstage in life? What sorts of psychological resources do I havewithin to make this work?

What are the social supports that

would help me through this (i.e.,friends, family, partner, colleagues,and supervisor)? Are these supportsstable?

How strategic can I be in planning,

executing and managing this? Whattimeline will I use to make thisdecision? What could I put into placeto make this work?
