Resilience: Future Focus

Working out what you would like in the future will

help you to feel more in control. It will also help you

to focus on the right things more easily.

Ask someone you trust to help you work out what you

would like your future to be like and the steps to get there:

❑ What kind of person do you want to be?

How do you want people to think of you? (E.g. Funny

and energetic? Calm and wise? Kind and well thought of?

Generous? Trusted?)

❑ What do you want to be doing in the future?

Studying? College? Volunteering? An apprenticeship?

Travelling?

❑ What do you want to achieve or have? (E.g. a close

circle of friends; lots of interests / hobbies that you

enjoy; enough money to go out with your friends; a

particular qualification, grade or award? Your own

business?
