Well-Formedness Conditions

A set of conditions that an outcome must meet in order to be achievable and ecologically sound. The Well-Formedness Conditions require that an outcome be: stated in the positive (what you want, not what you don't want); initiated and maintained by the person themselves; specific and sensory-based (what will you see, hear, and feel when you have it?); preserving of existing positive by-products; and appropriately contextualized. Outcomes that meet these conditions are significantly more likely to be achieved than vague or negatively framed goals.
