Handout 1: My Best Life

As human beings, one of our deepest desires is to have a meaningful and happy life. You’ve probably heard of the saying, “Live your best life.” We want to look back at our lives and our achievements and be proud. In short, we want what the saying says: “to live our best lives”.

But what does it mean to live your best life?

You are a unique individual, so living your best life is exclusive to you. Your best life should reflect your true values. It will be made up of what makes you happy and will be influenced by what changes you would like to make. So, let’s reconnect with your best life vision through Handout 1 provided below and in your Toolkit.

Handout 2: Using a Mood/Anxiety Chart

The key to managing stress is to fully understand ourselves first. It is often useful to track our daily life experiences and how these may impact on our overall feelings. This will also help you identify triggers.

Things to include:

  • Good and bad experiences.
  • Physical injuries or illness.
  • Future situations you are concerned about.
  • Insomnia or sleep issues.
  • Alcohol and/or drug use.
  • Commencing new medications.

One way to do this is by completing a Mood/Anxiety Chart.The recommended way of using this chart is by completing it 3 to 4 times per day (around mealtimes is best). Alternatively, you can use a Mood Tracking app.
