Activity - My Health Plan

Aim
To practise keeping a health plan

Materials
Buy or find a small weekly formatted diary - choose one that has a yearly planning page

Process

  • Consider your physical health and mental health and relaxation goals. Write down all the advantages of achieving each goal.
  • Write down what you are prepared to do to achieve this.
  • Write down the signs/indicators for reaching each of your goals in a space in the diary (using the blank areas for January often works).
  • Think about the indicators in successive smaller chunks. Place these smaller chunks in regular intervals across the time space between your start time and your finish time.
  • Now mark in check times for all the goals in between those smaller chunk times for each goal - perhaps once a week or once a fortnight.
  • Read your goal, the advantage, and what you are prepared to do to achieve the goal.
  • Keep going with your review (even with interruptions and distractions) for about two months.
