Good Days and Bad Days

Everybody has good days and bad days. Good days and bad days dont
just happen. Usually they are related to what is going on in our lives.
In preparation for creating a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP),
many people have found it helpful to think through the following
questions. You may find it helpful to write a few notes.

What am I like when I am having a good day?

What are some things that I can do that help me have good days?
