Goal-setting

At times, depression and bipolar disorder may make it seem difficult to set recovery goals for you. It might feel almost impossible to think about the things that you hope for or care about. But goal-setting is an important part of wellness, no matter where you are on your path to recovery. Work on what you can when you can.

Setting Recovery Goals

Ask yourself:
What motivates me?
What interests me?
What would I do more of if I could?
What do I want?
What do I care about, or what did I care about before my illness?
Where do I want my life to go?
What brings me joy?
What are my dreams and hopes?
