Well done, you have reached grade 9! You can now start setting goals for the future. The goals that you could

on. If you are going to reach these goals, you will need to make many important lifestyle choices.

Your lifestyle consists of your behaviour and habits. It reflects what you value, how you see the world around
you and your attitude to life.( Lifestyle choices.) The way you choose to live your life affects you physically and
emotionally.

yourself to a positive balanced and healthy lifestyle.

management tool is to set clearly defined goals. This gives focus and direction to planning and facilitates the

as important.(Time-management skills.)
