Wellbeing is explained as feeling…

comfortable,

healthy,

or happy.

When people are dealing with change, they often try and control

the only things they can.

This might be what they buy from the shop or what their home looks

like.

When people feel anxious or worried about changes, they will try and

control any areas of their life that they can.

This might not be the ‘right’ thing to do but it is often done by people

trying to look after their wellbeing in the only way they know how.

Today you will learn some other ways to look after your wellbeing, especially in a time of change.

Connect with Others

If you are having difficulties with your wellbeing, it is really important to reach out and connect with someone in your support network.

An important part of wellbeing is being connected with other people. This is called a support network. You will be part of other people’s support networks,

where you will support their wellbeing, and other people will be in your support network. This might include family, friends, teachers at school and members of

the community.

This might be through face-to-face interactions or, if this is not possible or you’d prefer it a different way, it could be through letters, messaging, telephone calls, video calls or playing games together on the Internet (always check with your parents or carers first if you want to go online).

Look at the pyramid. Think about where you would put each of the different things

in your own pyramid.

Discuss this with someone else in your house and see if there are areas

where you feel the same and areas where you differ.

Remember, all of the things within your triangle are important. This is about

thinking which are more important to you than others. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’

answers.

Areas of Control

Lots of people spend time worrying about things that

they actually have no control over.

Because they have no control, they can’t do anything

to make it better so it can become a big area of worry.

This can affect their wellbeing.

It is important to break down your

thoughts and worries into things you can

actually control and areas where you have

no control.

This can help you to realise what you should

spend your time focusing on and putting

energy into.

It also lets you think about the areas that

you need to let go of, as you have no

control over them.

Draw the table in your book, and place each of the options in a side of the table, decide whether its something you can control or can’t control.

We need to try and let go of the things we can’t control and only focus on the things we can control.
