What might work for me?

Activity should:

• Be enjoyable – if you don’t know what you might enjoy, try a few different things
• Help you to feel more competent, or capable. Gardening or DIY projects can do this, as well getting you more active.
• Give you a sense of control over your life – that you have choices you can make (so it isn’t helpful if you start to feel that you have to exercise). The sense that you are looking after yourself can also feel good.
• Help you to escape for a while from the pressures of life.
• Be shared.  The companionship involved can be just as important as the physical activity.
