Becoming a Resilient Family
Becoming a Resilient Family
Sometimes living with a bleeding disorder, along with the stress of school, friends, and family, can seem overwhelming.
Here are some suggestions you can try to lighten things up a bit:
- Communicate.
Share your feelings, both good and bad, with a family member, friend, clergy, coach or teacher. Sometimes they can give you great advice. Just talking about a worry can make you feel better. - Be a Friend.
Just as a friend will support and care for you, do the same for your friends. When you help others, it takes your mind off any stress you may be having. - Believe in Yourself.
Focus on your strengths. Don’t think of what you can’t do, but all that you can do! - Set Goals and Make a Plan to Reach Them.
What kind of things do you want to do this week? This month? This year? Creating a plan to reach your goals will make them feel more real. - Be Positive!
You have friends, strengths, and goals. You have a lot going for you!
