CAPACITY REGISTER / 01–02 OF 08 Human Experience Attributes

Situational capacities to notice and practice; no fixed scores or ranks.

ACCESS Connection and access

Approach another person, ask for information or assistance, and decide how much contact you can offer.

BALANCED USE

Make a clear invitation, check available time and allow a genuine answer, including a refusal or a smaller offer.

WHEN OVERUSED

Assume that attention, reassurance or access remains available because it was offered before or feels urgently needed now.

Have I asked what is available, or treated my need as permission?

Small practice: Before one conversation, ask how much time the other person has. Agree on a stopping point and honor it without turning the ending into a test of affection.

GRIP Commitment and follow-through

Hold an agreed responsibility, maintain a chosen limit and carry a useful intention into action.

BALANCED USE

Follow through on a real promise while checking whether its conditions or the people’s available capacity have changed.

WHEN OVERUSED

Keep tightening control, preserve an outdated arrangement or demand that a commitment survive every change without discussion.

What am I keeping steady, and does it still serve the agreement?

Small practice: Choose one promise. State the next concrete step, its owner and a workable time to review it; make space to renegotiate if the situation changes.
