Self-assessment is a vital starting point as it helps you identify what is going well and where you are struggling in key areas affecting your well-being. You can then prioritise and set informed and appropriate goals to help you move forward.

A more productive mindset is to focus on outcomes and accept that, although you can’t change what happened, you can choose how you respond. Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals empowers you to focus on what you can control, helping you move forward despite the difficult circumstances.
