WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION? You want to stay well. But there may be times you’re tempted to stop your medicine. It may be helpful to think about why you sought treatment and reasons to stick with it. Write them down here. And when you need motivation, read them to yourself.

You may have put some goals on hold when you were diagnosed. As you start to feel more stable, you could consider setting new, realistic goals to work toward. Break your goals into small, manageable steps. Record them here. And check off each step as you complete it. We hope seeing the progress you’re making toward your goals will encourage you to stay on treatment.
