Learn to reach the stars

Is there something you've always wanted to do, or a challenge you'd like to overcome? The start of a new school year can obviously be a great time to set some realistic goals for yourself, as these can help you feel confident and hopeful about the future.
Setting goals means thinking of something you want to do and then working out how to do it. So if you want to improve your piano skills or join a sports team, try making a plan to practise your music or sport every day. Lowri, aged 16, sets goals to organise her schoolwork.“I like to get my homework finished on time so I don't feel stressed about it. So I write down a list of what needs to be done and tick it off when I've finished.”

The Big Life Journal is a website that gives ideas and advice for becoming more confident. It ays setting goals actually teaches you to stick at something even when it gets hard. Setting goals an also help you discover what you're able to do, and can become a powerful, lifelong habit. For example, aiming to learn to cook a new dish each week can improve your skills and make you confident and proud. Whatever goal you choose, make it realistic and something you can reach. Setting your sights too high can lead to disappointment and stop you from trying again.

Think about a goal you'd like to achieve or a challenge you'd be proud to overcome, then work out a plan to get there. Breaking down the goal into smaller tasks can help make it feel more reachable. The Big Life Journal recommends drawing a goal ladder. “At the top of the ladder, write down the big goal, and then work through the steps it would take to achieve it,” it says. You can imagine what it will feel like to reach your goal. When your plan comes together, don't forget to celebrate and be proud of your achievement.
