 * __PERSONAL CHALLENGES__**

Brainstorm ideas for personal challenges. The personal challenge Ideas sheet has a set of organisers to use for generating ideas?

//How will you keep a record of what you have done?// //Will it differ depending on the type of personal challenge you will undertake?// //How will you verify that you have completed and/or participated in your personal challenge?//

Students will: § need to create a plan § set some goals § focus the challenge on doing something for themselves and devoting time to do it on their own § need to make contact with community agencies or organisations or they may need to research their ideas § work out how they will make contact with community agencies § be required to make a commitment to the challenge for a set period of time and this may differ from activity to activity § need to have evidence of work completed need to have some form of verification of their commitment and involvement such as a letter of thanks, a letter from home, a certificate of participation etc. § need a feedback session that is incorporated to provide assistance, guidance and monitor performance § set a due date for completion. However, some tasks may be ongoing and students would obviously be encouraged to continue

Create your own plan for implementing your personal challenge that includes a timeline to enable them to meet the due date.

You may like to choose a ‘mentor’ to assist with the implementation of your personal challenge. Mentors could be: § A friend § A relative § A member of the community Goal setting is a simple, yet often misused motivational technique which can provide some structure for a personal challenge. Goals give a focus. An acronym to guide goal setting is: S - goals must be **Specific** M - targets should be **Measurable** A - goals should be **Adjustable** R - goals must be **Realistic** T - targets should be **Time based** E - should be challenging and **Exciting** R - goals should be **Recorded**

//What have you enjoyed the most?// //What have you enjoyed the least?// //What has been your greatest challenge so far?// //Has there been a moment that made you laugh?// //Has there been a time when you have felt like giving up? Why / why not?//
