Ask yourself what matters to you – be clear and honest with yourself. It’s okay to have different values from the people around you.
“Strength comes from within and the people you surround yourself with. So make sure you have the right people around you”.
“Embrace your own body, don’t hide away and boil in clothes that cover you up. Be proud of who you are!” See our body image messages for more tips.
“A tidy area equals a tidy mind.” Understanding how to continually keep your areas tidy can help you adopt a more organised mindset, which can be applied elsewhere.
“Don’t be blamed for other people’s actions, your only responsibilities are the choices you make.”
“Enjoy life and it’s journey, not just the end game”. Sometimes, the learning you gain from getting to your goal is more valuable than achieving the goal itself.
Here’s some links for summer holiday activities.
Summer Holiday Project #5: Do something for someone else each day, for nothing in return, and keep an activity log. Note down the feelings you have after completing a task.
Summer Holiday Project #4: Learn a new skill – something useful, something you’ve always wanted to do, something that will further your life goals. Practice makes prepared!
When you reflect on your day or week, make sure you can say “I am glad I did that” rather than “I wish I’d done that”.
