Your Mood & Outlook

You mood & outlook is how you handle your feelings and stay hopeful about the future. When people
have trouble with their mood, they might feel scared, worried, angry, guilty, or sad.

Your answers show that you sometimes find it hard to handle your feelings. That can feel hard, but we all feel this way from time to time, and
remember that it can be improved.

What to do: Your mood is influenced by everything you do, so try changing some of your daily habits – spend time with friends and family, get
exercise or play outside, make sure you're getting enough sleep, and eat healthy foods. All of these will help towards improving your mood & outlook.
If you're not sure where to start, talk to someone like a parent, trusted teacher, or school counselor. They can provide support as you figure this out.
 Your Social Self
Your social self is how you get along with others and how you feel about yourself when you're around
people. It helps you make friends and understand others, and includes things like how confident you are
and how well you build relationships.

Your answers show that you sometimes find social situations hard or don't always feel good about yourself. While this doesn't feel great, it can be
changed. We all struggle with this sometimes.

What to do: Spending time with friends & family or being kind to others can help you feel better about yourself. Sometimes, the Internet can make
things look different from real life and make you feel bad. It can help to take a break from social media and spend more time with your friends in
person. If you're having a hard time making friends, try joining a club or activity you like, where you can meet people with the same interests. If you're
not sure where to start, talk to someone like a parent, trusted teacher, or school counselor. They can listen and give you the support you need.

Your Drive & Motivation

Your motivation drives you to set and reach goals, and includes things like curiosity and how much
energy you have.

Your answers show that you sometimes find it hard to motivate yourself to do things. That can be hard to handle, but remember – this can get better,
and we all struggle with this now and then.

What to do: Think about what you do every day and see if making some changes could help. Try finding new things you enjoy, for instance joining a
new club or activity. Or try breaking big tasks into smaller steps. A trusted adult (like a parent, trusted teacher, or school counselor) can listen and help
you figure it out.

Your Thinking Skills

Your thinking skills help you understand the world around you, remember things, and make decisions.

Your answers show that you're having a tough time understanding things or thinking clearly right now, and that can be really hard to handle. But
remember, this can improve, and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

What to do: You should talk to someone who can help you, like a parent, trusted teacher, or school counselor. They can give you the support you need
and help you figure out the next steps.

What else might help: Changing some of your daily habits can help. Things like being active, eating fresh foods, getting enough sleep and doing
things you enjoy all help with your thinking skills. Try also spending less time on the Internet and reading books or longer stories.
 Your Adaptability & Resilience
Your adaptability & resilience is how you adjust to new situations or challenges. It includes things like
being flexible, creative, solving problems, learning new things, and staying strong emotionally.

Your answers show that you're having a tough time dealing with new or difficult situations, and that can be really hard to handle. But this can get
better, and there are always others to help you figure it out.

What to do: Talk to a trusted adult who can help you, like a parent, teacher, or counselor. They will know how to help and give you the support you
need.

What else might help:Think about what feels hardest for you and talk to an adult you trust to see if there’s a different way to handle it or think about
it. Sometimes trying something new, like joining a club or activity, can feel difficult. But over time, it can help you get better at dealing with tough
situations or changes.

Your Mind-Body Connection

Your mind-body connection is how your mind and body work together. It includes things like how well you
sleep, how hungry you are, how you move, and how tired you feel.

Your answers show that your physical wellbeing is helping you with everyday life.

What to do: What you eat and how much exercise you get are really important to help your mind and body work together. Maintain your mind-body
connection by eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, and doing something physical every day, like going for a walk or playing a sport. Try also
doing deep breathing. All of these can continue to boost your mind-body connection.
