It is living your own best life.

You need to think about the 6 F's - Fitness, Function, Friends, Family, Fun and Future

Fitness keeps your body working at its best.

It looks at the idea of health, and not just the treatment of illness or disability.

If we keep fit, our body is better able to do all the things we want.

Function refers to what people do, what their role or job is.

We need to see persons with disabilities as more than a body with limits.

Children bloom when they play and learn at school.

Adults thrive in working and building their own lives.

Family is the word to describe a source of support.

Whoever we call family are those who can be our home base.

We need each other and depend on each other.

We are “interdependent”.

We help and hug each other.

Fun is doing things you enjoy.

Make time to do things you enjoy, laugh, try new things, relax.

These are all examples of finding fun in life.

Fun helps decrease stress.

Friends are the bonds that matter in life.

There are many ways to be social.

Some people need more bonds and others need less.

But we do know that people who are connected to others seem to have healthier lives.

Future goals and dreams are possible and important for each of us.

Where do you want to be? What do you want to do? 

THINK, PLAN, DO* is a model to take control of your future.

To direct your life, first THINK about what you want, then PLAN how to get it, and then DO the steps one by one that will get you there.
