THESE TEN STEPS OF INSTRUCTIONS ARE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE SNOWFLAKE MODEL, AND CAN BE CHANGED TO YOUR PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL LIKING. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ADDITIONAL FORMS FROM THE HEART OF HOPE PLAN OF FORMS BE INCLUDED TO HELP WITH HEALING HURTS.

SORRY IF THE PDF IS NOT EVEN ON YOUR PHONE. I TRIED AND TRIED BUT NO MATTER WHAT I DID, IT WOULD NOT GET CENTERED.

STEP 1 - CHOOSE TO WORK ON ONE EVENT OF HURT OR MULTIPLE ONES, THEN FILL OUT CORRECT FORM

STEP 2 - IF HEALING MULTIPLE EVENTS PICK THE HURT YOU WANT TO HEAL FROM FIRST AND WRITE IT IN THE MIDDLE OVAL SHAPE. THEN WRITE DOWN THE SYMPTOMS AND ISSUES IT'S CAUSING.

IF HEALING A SINGLE EVENT SKIP THIS STEP AND JUMP TO STEP 3.

STEP 3 - SELECT THE SYMPTOM YOU WANT TO HEAL FROM FIRST, AND WRITE IT IN THE OVAL SHAPE BELOW.
THEN WRITE DOWN THE SYMPTOMS AND ISSUES IT'S CAUSING.

STEP 4 - WRITE THE SELECTED SYMPTOM YOU WILL BE WORKING ON IN THE OVAL BELOW, THEN DO RESEARCH TO LEARN ABOUT THIS SYMPTOM AND THINGS THAT MIGHT HELP IT HEAL. AS YOU FIND IDEAS TO TRY FOR HEALING, WRITE THEM DOWN, DO YOUR BEST TO MAKE THESE POSITIVE CHOICES.

STEP 5 - LOOK THROUGH THE HEART OF HOPE DISTRACTION PLAN AND CHOOSE FORMS THAT MAY AIDE IN HEALING AND PREPARING, OR USE THEM TO CREATE YOUR OWN SNOWFLAKE FORMS.

HERE ARE SOME STEP 5 EXAMPLES

HEART OF HOPE PLAN FORM

HEART OF HOPE PLAN FORM CHANGED INTO A SNOWFLAKE CHART FORM

HEART OF HOPE PLAN FORM CHANGED INTO A SNOWFLAKE CHART FORM

STEP 6 - THE SNOWFLAKE MODEL CAN ALSO BE USED WITH HELP TOPICS TO ASSIST HEALING.
PRINT OR COPY AS MANY FORMS ARE NEEDED.

HERE ARE SOME STEP 6 EXAMPLES, BUT YOU CAN USE ANY TOPIC YOU WANT.

STEP 7 - IN THE OVAL WRITE DOWN THE SYMPTOM YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON HEALING,
AND AS YOU FIND THINGS THAT HELP HEAL OR IMPROVE THIS SYMPTOM, WRITE THEM DOWN.

STEP 8 - THIS PAGE DOESN'T NEED TO BE FILLED OUT, IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE TO LET YOU KNOW TO GO BACK TO STEP 3 AND SELECT ANOTHER SYMPTOM BRANCH TO HEAL. KEEP REPEATING STEPS 3 THROUGH 8 UNTIL EVERY SYMPTOM FOR THE HURT HAS BEEN WORKED ON AND IS HEALED OR IMPROVED AS MUCH AS IT CAN BE FOR RIGHT NOW.

STEP 9 - FOR THOSE HEALING MULTIPLE EVENTS OF HURT ONLY. DO NOT BEGIN THIS STEP UNTIL YOUR PREVIOUS HURT FEELS UNDER CONTROL. WHEN IT IS, GO BACK TO STEP 1 AND SELECT ANOTHER HURT TO HEAL, THEN REPEAT STEPS 2-9 AGAIN. JUST LIKE STEP 8 THIS PAGE DOES NOT NEED TO BE FILLED OUT, IT'S FOR INSTRUCTION & EXAMPLE.

STEP 10 - OPTIONAL - CHOOSE FROM ADDITIONAL PAGE FORMATS OR CREATE YOUR OWN PAGES
HERE ARE EXAMPLES TO GET YOU INSPIRED IF YOU PREFER TO CREATE YOUR OWN MODEL CHART DESIGN.

WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNGER AND DEALING WITH LIFE STRESSORS, I WOULD TAKE THEM UP TO A MOUNTAIN AND LET THEM SCREAM TO HELP GET IT OUT. THIS SONG BY THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH REMINDS ME OF THOSE TIMES.

WHEN YOU ARE FEELING STRESSED, YOU NEED TO GET IT OUT IN A POSITIVE WAY TO HELP FEEL BETTER. GO SOME PLACE PRIVATE AND SCREAM OR DO THE TARZAN CALL. IT MIGHT FEEL WEIRD AND EASY TO BE HESITANT AT FIRST, BUT KEEP TRYING - TO LET IT OUT - EXERCISE IS GOOD TOO, I USED TO LOVE PLAYING RACQUETBALL :)
