Feeling ok about myself Overhanging boy

We know that to have a healthy body, it's important to keep active and eat healthy food, but how do we make sure we have a healthy mind?

Being your own best friend

We look after and care about our friend’s feelings, and we should do the same for ourselves:

  • Make an effort to find something positive about the way you look – notice the things you like about yourself
  • Notice your good qualities, these could be anything but could include your sense of humour or the way you are loyal to your friends
  • We are all talented in different ways. What are you especially good at? Perhaps you’re kind, creative, good at sport, a great cook. Whatever it is, be proud
  • Try not to focus on things you worry about or don’t like, distracting yourself with something you enjoy can help
  • Speak with someone you trust if you are feeling upset
