THINGS TO REMEMBER . . . .

BE REALISTIC, set small goals to start with, you can move to the bigger stuff when you get better at setting and reaching goals

KEEP FEELING POSITIVE. Don't let other people put you off.

CHECK YOUR TIME LINE every day and read through your goal again.

BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT

KEEP ADDING MORE SMALL STEPS if it doesn't look like you're making a lot of progress.

TELL SOMEONE YOU TRUST WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Talking about it will keep you feeling good and help you to work out your steps, what to learn and who can help.

DON’T STRESS. Learn to relax so that you have the energy to work through the steps.
