Goal Setting for Resilience

A goal is something you are working towards. Resilience means finding ways to keep going, adjust your plan or ask for support when things feel difficult. There is no single right feeling or strategy—choose what could work safely for you.

Think about goals

Goals can be small steps that help us practise something important.

1.Complete the idea: A goal is something I want to …

2.Write one way having a goal could help someone keep going when a task feels hard.

Make a small, useful plan

A helpful goal says what you will do and when you will practise. Choose a manageable step; you can change a plan if it is not working.

3.Cooper wants to feel more settled when a train journey feels noisy. Which is the clearest goal?

I will try three slow breaths when the noise feels too much.
I will never feel worried on a train again.
I will be better at everything.

4.Talia decides to practise a calming strategy for 3 minutes after school on four days this week. Which part tells how often she will practise?

For 3 minutes
After school
On four days this week

5.Choose one strategy Cooper could try if he feels overwhelmed during the journey.

Take a few slow breaths
Keep the worry secret even if he needs help
Give up on every goal

6.Name one trusted person Cooper could speak to if he still needs support.

Build your own resilience plan

Think of a small goal that is suitable for you. You may choose a learning, friendship, hobby or wellbeing goal. You do not have to share anything private.

7.Write a small goal you could practise this week. Say what you will do and when you will try it.

8.Choose one helpful strategy for a difficult moment: take slow breaths, break the task into steps, try again, take a short rest or ask a trusted person for help. Write the strategy you would choose.

9.If your plan does not work the first time, what is one resilient next step?

Draw a safe strategy someone could use when a goal feels tricky. Add a caption naming the strategy.

10.Tick each statement that is true for you today: I made a plan; I tried a strategy; I asked for support when I needed it; I can adjust my plan.
