Self-awareness
Setting goals
It can be difficult to know
what your mind and body is
telling you.
Setting goals means
deciding what you want to
do, and how you will do it.
Learning self-awareness takes
time and may not be possible
for some people. It’s okay to
not know how you feel,
though it is a helpful support
when figuring out your needs
and wants.
Setting goals can help you
figure out how to get the
things you want and need.
It can also help you figure
out how to deal with
barriers that get in the
way of what you want.
Interdependence
Interdependence is a different idea from independence.
Interdependence recognises that within our relationships
with others, both people help each other live the lives they
want to.
Interdependence acknowledges that no one is truly
independent, that usually in relationships people are
equally valued and get their needs met.
