5. Putting It All TogetherA number of strategies have been presented in this workbook to help improve the skills you use to manage your mood and general functioning. These skills have proven effective for many people, however, like many other activities, you must practise to become competent. First, you must make a conscious effort to increase your awareness of the events and thoughts that impact your mood, and develop a plan to manage or overcome these issues. It’s important to make a commitment to follow your plan, and think of ways to remind yourself to do so. What Strategies Have You Tried So Far?Check these in the first column below. What Strategies Are You Planning to Try?Check these in the second column below.
Let’s Do a Quick Check-in:Where Are You Now? 
Rate your mood today: Date: How does this compare to when you began to work through this book? Look back to page 6. Remember, it is unrealistic to expect to be at the upper end of the scale for more than short periods of time. Hovering around the mid-range is typical and satisfying. When trying to climb up this scale, aim for small, manageable, sustainable changes. Use the Mood Strategy Chart on page 58 to keep track of your mood, related events, and the strategy you used to manage or improve the situation and your mood. Keeping track of this information will help to identify and reinforce effective strategies and provides an easy reference when your mood is low. You can refer to this Chart to see what you have done in the past to deal with similar circumstances.
Be patient with yourself, make small attainable goals, adjust your plan if necessary, and stick to your commitment to be Your Best You! Download 301.88 Kb. Share with your friends:
